Sometime, you have to move JoomEvents data from one site to a new site. To do that, you will need to:

  1. Export all JoomEvents related database tables from old site via phpmyadmin (table with `joomevents` prefix)
  2. Open that sql file, use find and replace function of the text editor to replace table prefix so that it meets the table prefix of the new site (in case your old site and new site use different database table prefix)
  3. Import these database tables into new site database (via phpmyadmin)
  4. Install latest version of JoomEvents to the new site so that the database schema will be updated to latest version (or access to Tools -> Fix Database Schema if your site is running on latest version of JoomEvents already)

4) Auto Update

You can find  and copy your Download ID from https://www.joomboost.com/my-products.html, Then login to the backend and go to JoomEvents -> config -> first tab -> Download ID then paste it

If you have to uninstall JoomEvents for some reasons (for example, you want starts from scratch - or maybe after installing and using it, you realize that it doesn't meet your requirement), you can follow the instructions below to get the extension completely uninstalled:

  1. Login to backend of your site using a super admin account
  2. Access to Extensions => Manage => Manage menu item.
