Evolution 9 to Evolution 13 Import Problem  en

Author: John Britton

Hi Guys,

I have an Evolution 9 project that I have exported to file and imported to Evolution 13.

It seems to import fine with the standard message letting you klnow it is going to convert it automatically etc. Next a message pops up saying that the template used has not been downloaded and would i like to download it. When I choose [Yes] and enter my password, i receive a [Generic Error].

After I clear this error and try to open the project I get another error saying that "The project is in use or has not been closed correctly. Would you like to continue."

If I continue, the project opens in a random template and none of the images, including the top banner are present on the website.

I have re-exported and re-imported the project a number of times and it is the same problem each time. The project is working fine in the Evolution 9 software.

Please can you reply with any help on this ASAP as changes to the site are already overdue and require the functionality of Evolution 13 to make.

Regards,

Dave.

In WX5 V9 simply create a directory on your PC and export the website to disk (into the new directory) you will find a style directory has been created.  This Style directory has all the major component of your template (header, footer, background, etc).

If you then go to WX5 V13 after importing the site without downloading the template, you can then go to (2) Template, Customisation, Template Structure and replace those components to recreate your page.
