CSV Import doesn't work

Hello,

I’m migrating a website to a new hosting and for several reasons the new site is a clean WordPress install, not a file + db dump of the original site. I’m moving all the data though – post types and taxonomies, and everything from Event Espresso.

The original site runs 4.4.5p and I’ve been testing with the new production server + a staging one. Exporting the events from the original site and trying to import to both of the new sites.

The staging site throws the following error:

An error has occurred:
mysite-events-2014-11-24.csv was not successfully uploaded
EE_Import – import – 197

The other one (different server):

Warning: move_uploaded_file(/home/mysite/public_html/wp-content/uploads/espresso/mysite-events-2014-11-24.csv) [function.move-uploaded-file]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/mysite/public_html/wp-content/plugins/event-espresso-core-reg/core/db_classes/EE_Import.class.php on line 158

Warning: move_uploaded_file() [function.move-uploaded-file]: Unable to move ‘/chroot/tmp/phpObPhhA’ to ‘/home/mysite/public_html/wp-content/uploads/espresso/mysite-events-2014-11-24.csv’ in /home/mysite/public_html/wp-content/plugins/event-espresso-core-reg/core/db_classes/EE_Import.class.php on line 158

I don’t seem to have permission issues at the new site since I’ve uploaded other things (the other posts/terms, the media etc).

This is running WP 4.0.1

What would be the cause of that?

Hi there,

Can you check and verify that the server allows writing to /wp-content/uploads/espresso/ ?

Josh, managed to make it work at the end – all /uploads folders were writable, but espresso did not exist and couldn’t be used.

However most data (settings, registrations) was not imported. https://eventespresso.com/wiki/registrations-ver-4-0/ tried that guide as well, but didn’t find any CSV export. What’s the right way to migrate the registrations properly?

Hi,

Event Espresso stores its data in native WordPress tables like wp_posts with supporting data in wp_esp_ tables.

You would also need to migrate over that information.

A tool like WP Migrate DB Pro would be helpful for this task.
