Upgrading to Ghost 2 Issues

[john10001]

I have been using Ghost 0.11 for some time and wanted to upgrade to Ghost 2. I know that I need to go to Ghost 1 first.

When I have Ghost 1.25.6 installed and I try to import my content back from the JSON file it doesn’t work. Do you know why?

I get error warnings about the theme but not the content.

The import seems to work but when I go to the blog the few posts made to it don’t show only the default ghost blog?

It is quite frustrating. It shouldn’t be this difficult to upgrade should it?

The blog address is idrisflaring.com

Can you share any logs from the server? If you installed 1.x with Ghost CLI you can get these from ghost log or looking in the /content/logs folder.

If there’s nothing there, maybe you can share the export?

I agree it shouldn’t be this hard to upgrade. In this case, you’re dealing with pre-1.0 software, and the 1.0 version, which have extremely little in common. With the introduction of ghost-cli, 1.0 -> 2.0 is much easier

Thanks for the reply Hannah.

I have some error messages below which I think all look theme related?
