- My website URL is:
www.foodatmyhouse.com/
- My Joomla version number is J-3.1.0
- My Rockettheme template version number was: Lexicon 1.8 I just changed it to Protostar as default
- My Gantry version number is 4.1.43
- NOTES: I just upgraded Joomla to v.3.1.0 from v.3.9.2, from there I turned off Lexicon Template and turned on Protostar as default.
- NOTES: I made an Akeeba Back Up of the site (.jpa) using the latest Akeeba version.
- NOTES: I removed any extensions I added, like K2.
My issue is: Going from a Gantry framework to a site without Gantry (unless Joomla 5 has it standard).
My goal is to install a fresh version of Joomla on a new server starting at Joomla 4.4.8. and import my database of recipes.
No design needs to make it over, only the recipes
I am not going install a template and just use the default Joomla template for now.
What is my path to as smooth sailing as I can get getting my database of recipes to Joomla 4.4.8
Thanks in advance. - Last Edit: 5 months 3 weeks ago by rad1964.

Just uninstall Gantry, the theme, and any "rok" extensions like RokCommon, RokSprocket, etc. All your content (except minor things configured directly on a Gantry Override settings panel) lives in Joomla.
Verify all your other extensions are J5 compatible. Disable any you're uncertain of.

Hi Matt,
I need to transfer my site to a different host, wouldn't it be easier to simply install Joomla 4.4.8 and add the table of my recipes? I am not sure how I would move the site to a new server.
Would I just filezilla the entire site and export the database in myphpadmin then reconstruct site?

I ended up doing the new 4.4.8 install.
I created the categories.
After importing my content (after an error, I had to delete a column called xreference) I got the recipes over, however I had to adjust the CatId to their new ID#s.
then because I saw the number of articles assigned to the category but they weren't showing up under articles.
After a google search I found I had to make an association in the workflow_associations table. Got the code from the joomla forum. made the SQL queries. I can now see the articles inside the admin, now I had to do something weird, open each article and save, then it showed up on the front end! And finally to get rid of the last error I saw, I had to associate the old user ID to the current superuser and all looks as intended.
Old site is broken due to the xrefernce column, but thats ok, am leaving that host for good. - Last Edit: 5 months 2 weeks ago by rad1964.
