    hi guys got questions here.

    Say someone buys my wordpress blog. and i want to transfer the database over to the new owner. What should i do to go about doing it?

    Backup database and send to new owner in .sql format? Or is there a better way?

    thanks

    Not exactly Backup - try to Extract it .. ;)
    If there's no option similar to that, then you can use your Backup copy to transfer !

    Yeah, just send them the sql, the wp-config.php, and all the theme files.

    And don't forget to send them your images from the 'upload' directory.

    Database in sql file format alongwith your other theme files is best if you want to send it to new owner.

    DON.
