Importing Places deletes my homepage and makes one of the listings my home page

Okay. After reading your response, I don’t think you understand the extent of work that was done on the Development site.

So here’s the scenario: I was asked to redesign the site (foundation96.com). So, I cloned the entire site over to the development area (dev.foundation96.com). We spent 2.5 months on redesigning the site, adding new pages and content in the development area.

Once the redesign was finished and approved, the next task was to add the Users and Places (User Generated Content) that had been created on the live site (foundation96.com) WHILE the development of the new design was in progress in the development area (dev.foundation96.com). So, in other words, while I was working in the development area, the live site was still up and running and new User Generated Content was being created.

So, I have two sites that need to be merged. 1) The development site has new CSS, new pages, new images, new sliders, and changes made to existing pages. 2) The live site only has two new types of content: Users and Places that were created since the redesign began.

Importing/Exporting the new Users was not a problem.

The problem was when I used GeoDirectory’s Import/Export tool for Places.

So, how would you get the new Places that were added to the live site since the redesign began over to the development site without overwriting the content that had been created on the development site? How?

Thank you.

Actually, I didn’t know the import would work if I deleted the IDs from the post_id column. Yes, if that will work, it’s the easiest solution.

Hey… one more questions… and thanks so much for helping me through this… If I import without the ID, will that detach the User from that listing? Are users attached to the listing by the ID?

sweet!! thank you!
