hi everyone... I had an efiction archive that I closed two years ago. Since then someone created a new efiction archive on a new website to replace mine. We've been in recent contact with each other and would like to merge my old one with her new one... and we're curious to know if its possible? 😳

and if so... could someone walk me through as to how? thanks!

I think it's possible, if you wanted to add stories/authors/reviews/chapters ... However,  I wouldn't do it "automatically" because of ID mix-ups. I'd just import them over manually, if I really needed to.


archive: dramione.org
site: accio.nu

As Jenny said.  It's possible, but do it very carefully manually.

I had a similar situation last year. The old site was going to closed down my the previous owner and so I created a new site and added all of the members and stories over.

It was actually time consuming but what actually ended up doing was just registering all of the members and imported all of their files into a new database individually and I had then had to match the folder id number under my Stories folder to match the members new user id.
