Boonex Dolphin in 2025?

Hey I went through some really rough years and lost my websites in the process.  Now I am here in 2025 trying to pull my life back together.  I am trying to restore my old Boonex Dolphin sites and create a new one.

But I keep running into issues.  TMD no longer lets sites host their own videos and I keep getting errors.

So anyone have any helpful info on using a dolphin in 2025?

Hello Kiwiiiguana!

It more depends from the version of your Dolphin backup. So if it is the last one, you need to find the hosting with the PHP 5.5 which is too old and unsafe for now. If your hosting will provide such privileges then it may require greater cost. So if you have a big number of the users and content you'd better to order the content migration to UNA and use the modern hosting.

Thanks for your feedback.

I think I am going have to do a rebuild.

I use to have a boonex site that was meant for free stock photos/videos/and sound.  It had a pretty textured grey background similar to the default template.

I am debating between using una or a Wordpress template.

I don’t see a demo site for una so do you know the following:

How easy would it be to change the background to a textured gray?  Is it as simple to do as it was in a dolphin?

Does it have any features that would make it easy to search for an individual picture/video/sound based off of key words?  Or are the photos/videos in profile albums like Facebook?

Thanks you so much

First of all, you may see the UNA demos on the 2 sites:

online.me

and

unacms.com

And you may easily to work with the styles of your site viaz the admin panel directly, it's no necessary to edit the CSS files themselves.

Yes, the search by keyword is available too.
