I’m sorry, it’s been a really long time since I’ve worked with this and at this point I can’t help. Good luck though.

This export solution won't work because it is for EE2, and I tried updating to EE2 and running it but it won't work because of those old Extensions (which break things in EE2). The goal is to move to Craft. So, I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions? And like I said, I know it's a longshot. — You are receiving this because you commented.

Hey everyone, not sure how many people are still doing this but I thought I might add my edits for whoever it might help. I found that files/and assets, particularly one's using aws' S3 buckets, didn't work well. I also had issues with categories not working. There is also a seperate template for Members/Users which is the second snippet
