I needed to import a large amount of articles into a new website. this software worked like a charm. I only wanted articles and menus to be imported, so I had to create new menu modules for the ones I wanted to use.This software is a good alternative for spending days cutting and pasting articles.

SP upgrade

Had problems with the software to no fault of the software but received prompt replies and help.Customer service above and beyond the norm. Thank You SP.
I bought this extension and tried to upgrade multiple sites, on different hosts, from 1.5 to 2.5 with absolutely no luck.



Not only is it complicated but you are also required to have the same version of each extension on both sites, and I couldn't find a lot of the versions that were listed in their documentation to download for 1.5, they are simply too outdated. In addition, not every extension is support, even if they are available for both versions.



Not even the users would update on 2 of the sites, and yes I had the settings setup correctly. The few extensions in which I could get on both sites also didn't migrate.



It was a waste of my time and a waste of my money. I would not recommend going this route for upgrades.



I am giving a 'Fair' rating as their support team is fast to answer emails.
I bought this extension last week. Very easy to setup, upgrade was done in a few minutes.



I had an issue with some menu links to article's (turned out to be the J1.5 overrides) and contacted Customer services friday night; had an answer saturday morning.

Easiest Upgrade ever!

I have upgraded a lot of sites, and it's always a big pain. Most recently, I'm upgrading a *really* old site from 1.0x to 2.5. Once getting things into 1.5 for the transition, I tried using several packages, including JUpgrade and RedMigrator. Two days later, no joy, and I had re-installed the 2.5 5 times.



Once I purchased, installed and upgraded using SP Upgrade, the entire process from purchase to all data transferred took a grand total of 30 minutes. Very nice!!



After spending 3+ days wrestling with the other programs, I can't recommend this enough. Well worth the price. I just wish I'd found it first!!

Works like a charm

This tool saves lots of time and works perfectly.



I used it to upgrade my medium-sized Joomla 1.5.x to 3.x.x



Support is very nice and courteous and reply very fast.



I accidentally bought SP Transfer instead of SP Upgrade and they granted me the access to the SP Upgrade for free.



Thank you, officially.
I was running my site in joomla 1.5 for a long time. When I planned to migrate it to Joomla 3, I found that it is tough job. Because content of my site is large. It contains 66 sections, 770 categories, 22218 articles and 19109 comments. The DB structure is totally different in Joomla 3. When I approached some of my IT friends and some web developing companies, they couldn’t complete the task. After that, I purchased this component.



There was some configuration issue. When I contacted the developer, they immediately replied and solved. As my server response time is low, I got so many issues in migrating. Though it is my server issue, developer ‘Panayiotis Halouvas’ helped me to solve all the problems. Panayiotis Halouvas had replied to all my mails (nearly 25 mails) and had shown interest to keep me satisfied with his support. Now, my site is fully migrated to Joomla 3.2.2. It is because of SP upgrade and their support.



If there is option to give 100 stars, I will definitely give them for SP Upgrade. It is worth to your money.



Thanks to SP Upgrade and Panayiotis Halouvas.

The best

Makes migration from j1.5 to 3.2 so easy that it made me wonder why I didn't do it before.



Very simple to use, great documentation and fast support.



The only tool you need to move from old to new joomla.



Thanks you guys, a really great component.

Beyond Amazing...

Customer Service is excellent. I can no say this strongly enough. I am in awe of how helpful and generous this team is. Thank you so much.
Togther with some other colleagues, I am currently migrating a site and have found this tool an invaluable help that is saving us valuable time. So far, we have not experienced any difficulties. Of course, some amount of manual editing after doing the transfer is needed. I clearly recommend it to those migrating from Joomla 1.5
