Hi there,
Good day!
We are planning to transfer the Affiliate Pro plugin to another installation ( clean installation ). Is there a way to export/import Affiliate pro plugin data that includes the settings, referrals, affiliates and the entire data records of affiliate pro.
It can be done by copying the database but we don’t want that since it will overwrite the DB on the new installation.
Is there a way to do so?
Thank you so much.
Best regards
Hi Frank,
There is no native support for importing all affiliate data, but if you use mysqldump to backup your tables, you can import them to the new installation without overwriting existing data with the
–replace, –ignore options. You can find more information on that in the MySQL documentation page on how to use these options when importing. However, since you are transferring data to a clean installation, there is no reason to worry on overwriting data.
No matter what the case, i would definitely recommend you to keep a backup of your site db and files before proceeding.
Kind regards,
George
