Megnor Blog is a distribution of Magefan Blog. If you use Megnor Blog extension you might want to replace it with the latest version of Magefan Magento 2 blog extension to get new features, security improvements, and bug fixes. The changelog can be found on our website.

To replace Megnor_Blog with Magefan_Blog, please follow the steps below:

1. Make a full backup of your Magento 2 files and Data Base.

2. Rename all Data Base tables that start with 'megnor_blog_...' to 'magefan_blog_...'. E.g. rename "megnor_blog_post" table to "megefan_blog_post". You can use PhpMyAdmin for this purpose.

3. Rename the folder

app/design/frontend/ThemeVendor/theme_name/Megnor_Blog 

to

app/design/frontend/ThemeVendor/theme_name/Megefan_Blog 

4. Remove the folder

app/code/Megnor/Blog

5. Install Magefan Blog Extension.

6. Recreate blog widgets. For homepage widget use custom template "Megefan_Blog::widget/list_home.phtml" in widget settings.

When you run Magento 2 CLI command "bin/magento ..." and get the error:

Allowed memory size of xxxx bytes exhausted (tried to allocate xxx bytes)

You can easily fix it using instead of bin/magento this command:

php -dmemory_limit=-1 bin/magento ....

Magefan.com shop uses the United States dollar (USD) as a base currency. For a customer's convenience prices on the store are displayed in customer's local currencies (e.g. EU members see prices in Euro, British citizens correspondingly in British Pound etc.).

That is why during a payment a total you are charged with is USD. Also, USD amount sends to a bank account. A bank in its turn converts USD amount to customer's currency using own rate.

A bank's rate and a rate specified on our shop could be different. That's why a total customer is charged with can little vary from a total customer see on a Magefan.com product page, but it's always the same amount in USD.

In order to migrate AheadWorks Blog for Magento 1 to Magento 2 Blog please install free Magento 2 Blog extension. After that, navigate to Admin Panel > Content > Blog > Import and choose the Import from AheadWorks M1.

If you have a product attribute and what to assign it to a single attribute set, it's easy to do via Magento 2 Admin Panel > Stores > Attributes > Attribute Set.
