-- url of the page with the problem -- : glofishlighting.com
-- HikaShop version -- : 4.7.0
-- Joomla version -- : 4.2.2
-- PHP version -- : 7.4.33

I want to transfer all items and settings of an existing hikashop setup to another website but only hikashop, not the entire website.
Is there a way I can do this?
I've been able to back up the products only with export/import, but I need all settings, pictures, etc.

Hi,

You want to:
- go in the PHPMyAdmin of the old website and export all the hikashop tables in there
- open the file in notepad and change the table prefix to the prefix of the new website (it's a setting in the joomla configuration)
- go in the PHPMyAdmin of the new website and import the file to get all the tables of hikashop from the old website to the new one
- via FTP download all the folders/files in media/com_hikashop/upload/ and images/com_hikashop/upload/ of the old website and then upload them to the new website
- install HikaShop on the new website and it will find the data in the database.

Note that you'll still need to reconfigure menu items, modules and plugins as these are stored in Joomla tables not in HikaShop.
