Hi there, I would like to move a wordpress blog from one domain to another. From 'site.com/' to 'other.com/blog' What is the best way to do this, as the blog is not indexed by Google at it's current domain I don't need to worry about 301 pages etc. Thanks.
backup ur database (phpmy admin or use wp export feature), install wordpress in new dir. (where u want to see new blog), login into wp admin panel, use import feature > select wordpress file and continue. if there is anything else do let me know.
1.Just backup your posts via 'export' option,you will get xml bakup 2.Install wordpress in new domain or location , then import the said xml backup. The abovesaid method does not backup ur template files and plugins etc.
backing up directly from wp admin may lead trouble sometimes so try to back up database manually from phpmyadmin and ftp
Yeap. Its not tough to move wp blog from one server to another. Just be carefull that keep your back up (home directory and mysql DB) at your pc safely so no more trouble. DON.
You can also do this without touching wp-admin at all. Assuming that you have backed up the database, these are the steps: - Create a new database for the website on the new domain. - Goto phpMyAdmin and import the old database - Browse "wp_options" table and edit the following option_name values to reflect your new website paths -- siteurl -- home -- upload_path - Edit wp-config.php file to update the database connection details - Upload files to the server. That's it. From this point you can use wp-admin to make any other changes once the website is up and running on the new domain/server.
yeah its easy but not for those who don't know basic of MYSQL or phpmyadmin or they r new to wordpress cheers
