Hi all!
I'm running EZ publish 2.7.something or other on my website. EZ 3 looks good, so I'm thinking of upgrading. But I dont want to loose my content!
How do I import all my old content? Anyone?
And one last question... Is it possible to install EZ through FTP?

Always backup your database prior to any upgrade - so even if you screw up somewhere you can easily revert back to a working state.
I'm not too sure but I believe you shoudn't loose your data when you upgrade to ez3. What I woudl do either way is to create a "clone" of your site on your localhost and experiment upgrading there.

There's no upgrading an entire 2.2.7 site to 3.0. We have a script for importing forums and users that we will release shortly, however since 3.0 is so different from 2.2.7 you should reconsider your site structure before importing.
I don't think it's possible to do it only by FTP. Unless you are able to set permission on directories trough FTP?

Since it seems difficult to update the site, I'll just keep my EZ publish version. Works just fine! ;-)
