Ready to Migrate? Phase One is Here!


Last week, we started taking Ning 2.0 to 3.0 migration requests from Network Creators that participated in our Sandbox program. This week, we are excited to announce that we are ready to open up migration to anyone who has been so patiently waiting for it. Phase One migration is on!

To upgrade your network, simply submit this migration request form

Migration Process Overview

After you submit your migration request, a member of the Advocacy team will become your personal migration guide. He or she will work on copying your Ning 2.0 Network's data over to Ning 3.0. When the migration process is complete, your migration guide will ask you to review the content and publish it onto your new 3.0 Network. For a more detailed explanation of the process, check out this guide on What to Expect when You’re Migrating.

At this time, we can automatically migrate members, blogs, forums, photos, groups, and everything outlined on this page from your Ning 2.0 into your new Ning 3.0 site.

If you would like to back up any content that can’t be automatically migrated to Ning 3.0, we recommend using the Ning Network Archiver.

If your current Ning 2.0 network utilizes features that are on our Ning 3.0 product roadmap, then you might want to wait until a later phase of migration, as other types of content will be available for migration in a future phase.

Do I have to migrate right now?

Short answer: nope! Not yet. We noted last year when we launched Ning 3.0 that all Ning 2.0 customers would need to upgrade to Ning 3.0 at some point, and would have at least a year from the availability of the migration tools to do so. If you'd prefer to wait for a later phase of migration—either because you aren't ready yet, or you're waiting for more features to be released for Ning 3.0—you're more than welcome to upgrade during a later phase of the migration process.

  • I can't help but notice that paywall and paywall settings aren't mentioned. Is this something that will take place in the future?

    • This post by Suzie just popped up in the activity feed now on June 6.... ????

      • We're just in the process of clearing out some of the older postings that were mis-tagged as spam in the migration process. That's why you're seeing some older stuff pop up momentarily. I'll look into how to avoid that. 

  • When migrating, is there a way that we can view/edit the 3.0 version before making it public to our members? I've been playing a lot with our 3.0 sandbox and we plan to make A LOT of changes, as in too many to list, and would like to get everything settled before we flip the switch. 

    Thanks!

  • Does someone have a site that I can join to go look at? Is anyone already using a full 3.0 network?

    • They are still migrating my network. Problem with photo migration is holding things up. But you can look at what I have and give me suggestions. Be gentle, please. BTW ... this migration thing has been going on for 7 days. Only discouraging thing is this "Ning is closed on weekends", thing, which I just don't get. It gives the impression that it is a couple of kids working in a basement, somewhere. I guess I just come from a different generation when we did not stop working until it was done. Sandbox is at http://carnival.ning.com

  • Hi Noémi, 

    We understand that sometimes there are translation differences and unfortunately do not have anyone fluent in Hungarian in our support team, but Ioana is trying to work with you on this. We have not "switched off" your Ning 2.0 network yet, nor do you have to do so. As I said before, we cannot provide individual migration support through Creators, so please reply to your existing ticket responding to the request for links to examples of content that did not migrate so that we can look into it. 

    We did send out this email yesterday announcing migration to networks that were in a good position to migrate (ie: not using events, videos, etc). Since your migration hasn't been completed yet, this is why your email address was included. Sorry for any inconvenience. 

  • Loved know! 

    I have only one doubt the old breeders had agreed limit of 2,000 members for the signature and new breeders members 1,000 limit, it is still valid?

    Your Ref migration guide will ask you to subdomain you would like to use and help you select the appropriate subscription plan. 1,000?

    • Hi there!

      We are looking into ways in which we can hold true to what was said in this discussion. We don't have any update on this just yet, but we are still working towards this and will post an announcement when we have more news.
