Migrate your old Joomla! sites with the best, most popular, used on thousands of sites already, by thousands of satisfied users, component and keep your Google Rank safe.

 

• Joomla version 3.x and 4.x supported, refers to all releases of Joomla 3 and 4

The simple process

• Install a new version of Joomla anywhere, (your live server, or a remote server, or even on your PC)
• Install SP Upgrade,
• Connect to the source database,
• Click the transfer button,
• Enjoy your new site.

 

It works! The popularity of this component (thousands of sites already migrated) and the high level of users satisfaction, proves that it gets the job done. All are set up right, asset table entries, article IDs, categories, access levels, authors, parameters... everything.
Same id's	Why is this so important? Google ranking is not affected No broken internal links (e.g. within your articles) No broken external links. Those are links from other domains to your site
Everything	Ability to transfer ALL core Joomla! data, with no exceptions. Users Articles (along with their Sections and Categories) Contacts Web Links removed since Joomla! 3.4 News Feeds Banners Menus ability to transfer all menu items, and not only of the core components Modules ability to transfer all modules, and not only the core Tags All extensions data!
Extensions	Except the core Joomla! data, from 1.5 all extensions data can be transferred to the new site.
Images	Also transfer your images. *See notes below.
Assets table	Assets table built as it should be. Loading process simulates human manual creation resulting all content to be fully compatible and ready to utilize the new Joomla features.
Safe	The component do not mess with your live source site.
Continuity Scalability	If for any reason the migration is interrupted (e.g. timeout) you can continue from the point it stopped. Repeat process as many times as wish. It keeps track what is already transferred. That allow the transfer of any amount of data. No problem either you migrate 10 or 100.000.000 items. It just takes longer!
Selective	You already have a new site, and just need to transfer the articles, or users, or anything else? Choose what to transfer. You may select to transfer one article, or more, or all, or all data. You also have the ability to avoid overwriting the existing data on the new site, instead assign new ids. A very useful feature for people who install fully template's sites with sample data, or already did some job on the new site and do not wish to loose their effort.
Bring the new	Need some time to configure the new site, and meanwhile new data, like users, articles etc, are created in the old? No problem, just rerun process before you go live and it will bring the new data. So, there is no reason to hurry to go live, or keep offline the live site.
Monitoring	Monitor real-time the process of migration (suitable for big sites) and review the stored log results.
Security	You are able to migrate with a read-only database user. Useful for outsourcing the migration process.
Remotely	You can migrate from a remote server where your live site is located, to another remote server (e.g your development environment, or local PC) where the new Joomla! site is installed.
Language	All languages are supported.
