moving wordpress
February 26, 2010 7:45 pm Leave your thoughtswordpress is anything but easy, regardless of what they want you to believe. they have a long way to go to make it intuitive and transparent. the built-in import/export feature doesn’t really work, so here’s a short description of
moving wordpress
- in phpmyadmin:
- enter your db and export all tables to a file
- create new db
- import old tables into new db
- in the wp_options table, replace url with new one
- copy original wordpress files into new location
- edit wp-config.php with the new db name and the user/password who has full access
- copy old theme into the new wp’s wp-content/themes folder
- start wp-admin of the new wp, using the old credentials
- in settings, edit the other location entry
- in appearance, enable the old theme
- copy .htaccess over from the old wp and edit paths accordingly
