How can I migrate my old Editor Wix Groups to a new Studio Wix Groups?

Product:

What are you trying to achieve:

What have you already tried:

Additional information:
Wix Code is beyond my abilities.

Iā€™m not sure that that is currently possible.
Hopefully there will be an update soon on the release of being able to create new sites from existing dashboards.

Once again with Wix. Too much attention to flash: cant get the job done.
Wordpress: tom much attention to tech: canā€™t make a maintainable site without a PhD.
So, for my new Studio site I am going to lose ALL forum posts and ALL Group posts from my Editor site. The solution is to enhance the CMS import/export or make import/export a direct part of every app like Wix Blogs does now.
Iā€™m trying to help you Wix.

Just want to jump in, that the option to create a Studio version of a Wix site (preserving the dashboard and its data, but building a new ā€˜frontendā€™ of the site), is right around the corner - in the coming weeks.

Not sure what the timeline is for your project, but will likely help greatly with this :slight_smile:

I can wait a few weeks, but will the ā€œEditor to Studioā€ really be complete? It has to include:

Contacts & Members - IDs have to migrated properly so thatā€¦
All Posts, Comments in all Blogs, Forums, Groups Postings, Permissions, History etc are migrated in full. Its a big task and if it is not done in complete, there will be little to gain from using a migration tool it because we will have to start from scratch anyway.

Personally, I like the method of Export/Import through CSV. The reason is that its format neutral: you donā€™t have work out specific app migration details and it means being able to move posts, users etc to other non Wix apps or other websites. Just make every app have an Import/Export to CSV. Or, make the whole backend database (CMS) import/exportable.

Migration is a big order and would have big impact on us, your clients. Why is Wix not regularly posting about progress? The whole suggestion/vote thing is too cumbersome. We need to know what is being worked on and roughly how long to wait. We are programmers. Use DevExpress as an example of how to do this right.

But ps,
Thank you Noah for being so attentive here and everywhere! :slight_smile:
