from Magento 2.4.2-p1
to Magento 2.4.5-p1

Amasty extensions
We have to abandon our Magento 2.4.2-p1 store because there are just way too many problems and I’m tired of trying to fix it.
My idea was to make a fresh Magento 2.4.5-p1 install and transfer everything using the Export/Import feature in Magento 2 Admin panel PLUS use an external extension such as Magento 2 ‘Order Import Export’ by Meetanshi ( https://meetanshi.com/magento-2-order-import-export.html ) to move orders over.
I set up the websites/stores/storefronts manually and did more-less successfully transfer products and categories over and I cleaned that up. I think I have exported and imported these 2 as well:
- Customers Main file
- Customer Addresses
And I was looking at external 3rd part extensions such as Magento 2 ‘Order Import Export’ by Meetanshi ( https://meetanshi.com/magento-2-order-import-export.html ) to export and import Orders.
I have these questions about this process:
-
If I do this, will it all link together? Meaning – when the customer logs into their account, will they see their previous orders and all of their saved addresses etc.?
-
I understand there is a problem transferring passwords from Magento 1 to Magento 2 regarding how the passwords are encoded but does this issue also occur when transferring customers from Magento 2.4.2-p1 to Magento 2.4.5-p1? I tried to log into my test customer account that I transferred from Magento 2.4.2-p1 into Magento 2.4.5-p1 and my password does NOT work. Furthermore, the Reset password does not send an Email to reset password either from front or back-end! Why is that and how to fix it so that:
-
the old passwords work
-
the password reset link generates and sends and Email out
