-- url of the page with the problem -- : goldfieldfireworks.com
-- HikaShop version -- : 4.6.1
-- Joomla version -- : 3.10.11
-- PHP version -- : 7.4.29
-- Browser(s) name and version -- : Firefox 78.15.0esr

I want to migrate my sites to Joomla! 4.1.5. I would like to "start fresh" with a completely new installation of Joomla, not just upgrade it. This is so that I can leave behind everything I no longer use.
Is it possible for me to export all of my Hikashop data, download it, then install Hikashop into the new Joomla installation, and then import all of my data from the download? Will I lose anything, such as product photos?
Thank you for your help.

Hi,

Here are instructions I gave to someone else with the same question a few weeks ago:
www.hikashop.com/support/forum/import-ex...ore-data.html#343525
So yes, you can migrate all the HikaShop data and you won't loose the product images or other things.
What you will loose is the settings of the menu items, the modules, the plugins as they are stored in Joomla tables in your database. But usually, if you do a fresh start, that's not a problem.
