We have internal Evoq Content 8.1 that we would like downgraded to free (community DNN) version. Downgrading the site seems to be possible but very labor intensive opening a lots of troubleshooting opportunities. Another approach would be starting from clean DNN Platform installation and then importing the existing site, but it looks only the newest version 9.1.1 has that option. Not sure why is that so because it does not make sense to have export option if you cannot import. Thanks in advance!
Thank you Joe!
I tried that, but nothing happens. I get the spining wheel, and after couple of minutes it disappears, still showing the same wizard page with list of templates. I am assuming it is choking on different table setup, but I will be poking deeper into that.
DNN Platform that I was testing is 8.0, but I was going to use any version that would work with the export.
However, our management just changed the course today, and we will abandon this migration effort.
I appreciate very much your willingness to help! Best regards!

What did the management team decide to do instead?
Depending on the size of the website, downgrading from Evoq to Platform can indeed be easier by simply starting with a clean Platform website and then migrating the content and configuration. Also, it's easier/better to do that on a more recent version of DNN. :)
This migration was going to be 1-2 year temporary solution. They decided to go straight to the final destination and merge that site with another non-DNN site, but allowed slower transition - basically content copy-paste job, but with architecture re-do.
Thanks!

This makes me sad. Are you able to say what the other non-DNN solution is?
Hi,
We have intsall the DNN Platform version 9.3.2 and imported the roles and users from DNN Evoq Basic 9.1.1.
And suddenly the html contnent and the module started disappearing in View mode. We can see the content in edit mode but not in view mode. Can you please let me know if you have come across any issue like this and way to solve it
Thanks

How did you import the users and roles? Depending on how you did it, you may have also included Evoq-specific data values that could be confusing the core of DNN.
