Migrating files with phpMyAdmin

I'm trying to migrate products to another website with a different time. After exporting and then re-importing my products all I get problems with various VM plugins not functioning properly in the front-end and the homepage doesn't render correctly, so the custom theme must be interacting with the VM tables. My question is what's the simplest what to transfer everything over cleanly with ruining the database. I've tried CSVI Pro however it doesn't import the product prices among other things.

I've had the most success by copying everything over via phpMyAdmin however it ruins so many things on the front-end. But everything in the back-end is perfect – all the media links, prices and everything are exactly as they were on the old site.

What did you do during standard VM/Joomla migration?

I didn't do a migration rather I've setup another theme and have been trying to copy my products over by copying tables from phpMyAdmin

Could you make a migration?

Is that still possible even after I've themed my new site and added all my required articles?

I'm going to try merge the two tables together. Anyone know any easy methods to do this?

Sorry, I can't see what is the problem.

Email settings in VM config are ok?

Took me a while but I figured out why I wasn't getting e-mails. I had to include 'pending' in the 'default order statuses'.

Also I manged to import all my products by importing/exporting my VM files from two different installs. However now I keep this error when I'm editing or adding a product.
