Best Practices for Migrating Sites to ExpressionEngine 7 - Emmanuel Katto Uganda

Hi everyone,

My name is Emmanuel Katto. I’m in the process of planning a migration for one of my websites to ExpressionEngine 7, and I want to ensure that the transition goes as smoothly as possible. I have some experience with previous versions, but I’m looking for guidance on what to focus on this time.

Here are a few specific areas where I’d love your insights:

What are the key steps I should include in my migration checklist to avoid common pitfalls?
How can I best assess whether my current add-ons are compatible with ExpressionEngine 7? Are there alternatives you recommend?
What tools or methods do you suggest for effectively migrating large amounts of data while preserving structure and functionality?

I appreciate any tips or experiences you can share that might help streamline the process. Thank you!

Best regards, Emmanuel Katto
