Essential Guides to Moving a WordPress Site
by admin on Oct.21, 2009, under Uncategorized
After moving a wordpress site and database files twice in a week, I think I’ve found my favorite tutorials on the subject:
1. Backing up your database with phpMyAdmin and wordpress files
2. If you are moving it to GoDaddy, this is very helpful info for setting up the SQL database and importing your backed-up database from the old wordpress site
3. My final step is a fix for when you redirected to the old site after you have logged into the new site. This tutorial show you how to fix what is probably the issue using phpMyAdmin to configure wp_options in your SQL database. Note: go to the section called “Changing the URL directly in the database” and do all the steps. I was amazed at how much this fixed my issues
