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.

Sorry to keep harping on....but I'm kinda keen to get this done. 3.0 is only one 'essential' feature short for me at the moment and I see that's next on the roadmap SO I'm pretty sure I can make this thing rock :)
Hi ceri, I see your request and update in our migration queue. We handle migration requests in the order received and it can take up to 2-4 days for the team to start a migration as we have to prioritize migration tickets with general support requests, as well. Thanks for your patience.
Still not heard anything :( Any update?
Ceri, it's now July- did you wind up migrating? How did it go?
Hey ceri! Looks like it just got a little delayed by some follow-ups the team was doing with older migrations, but it's in line for getting started today. Your migration guide will let you know when it's ready for your review! Have a great weekend!
I can be patient :)
I have 150 important videos on my ning 2 which will all have to go into the videos folder at ning 3 but I'm told this is not possible. without any explanation, I mean it is a simple thing to enable. What up?
Edit: apologies for the messed up formatting. Hazards of working on a train.
I downloaded the ning achiever and it looked in my ning2 videos folder or page on my network and found a fraction of my content, just 15 out of 156 videos.The help people think the fault is on my system, not so!
can I embed content with PHP or Javascript using the custom code feature like ning 2 or will this the custom code feature be no longer available on ning3?.
Hi Alexander, I'd need to look into this further (I'm off site today and don't have access to everything I normally do), but I suspect that the Archiver only downloads media that was actually uploaded to your network. It wouldn't download videos that were added to your network via YouTube, for example, but that embed data (link, tags, etc) would be included in the .json files. If you don't think this is the case, please continue working with the support team in your ticket so that they can try to diagnose the issue.
Embedding content with javascript should still be possible (though not ideal), but the videos would still need to be uploaded somewhere other than your Ning 2.0 Network (which will become inaccessible after migration), so if it's imperative that your currently uploaded videos transfer over, we highly recommend waiting until this is supported in a later phase of migration.
