Hello!
May be you noticed that there some differences between structure of the the same modules in Dolphin and UNA. For example: Videos and Photos modules don't have ability to create Albums, thus photos are transferring to the Albums module by default, but not to the Photos module. Videos from Dolphin are transferring to the UNA without Albums . Also there are the big differences between timeline in Dolphin and in UNA. It means that not the all content from Dolphin can be transferred to the UNA. Also if you have any modifications in default profiles or other modules structure's in Dolphin there are also may be problems with migration to UNA.
In Dolphin migration tool in studio area, you can see number of existed items in Dolphin, but if these items doesn't contain some mandatory fields required in UNA they also can not be transferred. For example: if video is located in Hidden folder, it will not be transferred to the UNA, because there is no option to create private content. Some types of Timeline posts also can not be transferred, because in Dolphin they are inserted as part of the modules which may have another structure then in UNA.
In common cases Migration should work fine. You can try to find discussions about migration here on UNA, they may help with migration of sum of the important modules for you.
I can help you with Profiles migration if you like and will check where are you have a problems with avatars.

Thank you for answe, but the profiles are migrating, I don't need help with the migration, I just wanted a script made by professionals, UNA script is not. Timeline migration to UNA means lost content, lost comments, lost views. it's like I'm making another site, and the dates of the posts don't match. The migration script is a disgrace. If UNA team are not able to make a migration script, it is clear that UNA is equally ill-conceived, .and the development team, if they don't take these details into account, it's clear that they're just hunting for cloud money here, i see no interest in development So there's no point in migrating, maybe I'll make another site in the future. I can't delete user content just to migrate to UNA. There is no guarantee that in a few years I will have to delete the content again. Drupal, on the other hand, offers more, I can migrate all my content. their migration software allows you to migrate any field you want. plus there are tens of thousands of modules available there. You have nothing in comparison. Maybe you should learn something from them. I don't like to separate the photo album from the photos, the mode doesn't make any sense. I don't like the new album mode, nor the new photos mode. Both of them together do not do as much as the photo module on dolphin. The photo module from dolphin was perfect. Also, the views from pictures and videos are lost in the migration process, and many others content. The test I did is not satisfactory, I will see in a while if it is worth making a new site with UNA. At the moment I don't want to waste my time for nothing with this very poor software. I'd rather pay a software company to make another the way I want. For the moment, I don't want the new dolphin even if its for free for me. I will follow your development and see you in the future. The script is too slow, it always loads the same static content for each page again and again, what a big stupidity. I explained this 5 years ago but nothing has changed, UNA has not made any progress in this direction. I tested UNA and I don't like it at all, especially the empty pages without content that it generates are thousands in user profile. It's probably good for you that you have job here, but not for me. the old dolphin is better than UNA. Have nice day

Yes, it is clear that I noticed this, but:
- The migration script does not transfer all photos or videos.
- The migration script does not transfer the views, the views are a field that exists both in UNA and in Dolphin. It's just a number in a field in the database that should be transferred. Profile views are transferred, why aren't photo and other media views also transferred?
Also there are the big differences between timeline in Dolphin and in UNA. It means that not the all content from Dolphin can be transferred to the UNA. Also if you have any modifications in default profiles or other modules structure's in Dolphin there are also may be problems with migration to UNA.
- The same problem and here the views are not transferred
- Also, the posting date exists in dolphin and in UNA, it is not transferred, the post on the timeline appears to be from the transfer date. A timeline without a posting date is no longer a timeline.
- Also, not all posts of the same type are transferred, only some. for one reason or another the transfer stops without any error message.
- The number of transferred objects does not coincide with reality, the script does not know exactly what it is transferring, it reports a number, which does not coincide with reality.
I can help you with Profiles migration if you like and will check where are you have a problems with avatars.
- If you know how to solve this problem with the avatar, you don't have to help me, you'd better give directions in the transfer instructions, that way you'll help everyone. https://una.io/wiki/Dolphin-Migration-Tool
