My prestashop has a ton of errors

[Juan Rios1]

Hello guys! I am working with prestashop 1.6.24 and well, it was working fine beginning of the year but it's not really buggy.

I was thinking of installing a fresh prestashop and just transfer the products/customers/orders over.

Is this possbile? I'm assuming it's just passing data in the database from the old one to the new one. 

I just don't know which tables I would need to pass. Can you guys help me by telling me what tables I need to trasnfer to get all my products/cllients and orders? I'd really appreciate it.

I upgraded mine from 1.6 to 1.7 using migration-pro module. ( migration-pro.com ) install a fresh copy of 1.7.X and install the module.

• Install “MigrationPro” module on target shop  (PrestaShop 1.7)
• Install “PrestaShop Connector” module on the source shop
• Start migration, wait a few minutes then enjoy the new PrestaShop 1.7 shop with all data from your old shop.

Please note that 1.7. has changed the archtiecture and your modules and theme needs to be upgraded or replaces by 1.7. compatible versions. For upgrade there is no need of paid module, free 1-click-upgrade can do this.

Correct me if am Wrong, i dont think 1-click-upgade can upgrade from  1.6.x to 1.7.x  since these 2 uses completely different architecture. So the best option is to Install a Fresh Copy of 1.7.7 and migrate data from the 1.6.x store and then install 1.7.x supported modules accordingly

Sure it can But it can't check and fix issues with incompatible themes and modules (neither any other upgrade module can do this), thats why an upgrade might be difficult

Completely agree, I tried it a thousand and one time and you cannot use the 1click module to update, you need to do a new installation and migrate the entities, I say that if this were not the case, there would be no modules that do this job

I migrated a couple of shops from 1.4 up to 1.7 using 1-click upgrade. But as said you need to know what you are doing and be prepared to replace the moduls and themes (and deactivate them before the migration and change to standard theme to avoid issues). Running an old shop you should consider PHP requirements and settings as well, it might be requried to migrate in little versions steps and change the PHP version inbetween.
