Hey, My host went down but I regularly keep backups of my DB, I have changed to a different host but I have a problem, how do I upload the DB? I made a new table and user and uploaded the DB via PHPMYADMIN, import. But it doesn't work, anyone know any step by step guides or videos? nut legend
hi there i have not checked out the videos but there are a number or WP videos on becomeablogger steps involved create new DB add admin user to db set password note down the host etc ensure wp-content is writable for plugin updates update wp-config.php and ftp to main index if you cannot see wp-config then it will be named wp-config-sample.php rename to wp-config.php login
Hello, I have done similar migrations for two of my sites. To help you I need to know what steps you have performed at the new host?
I agree, you should be able to just set the database variables in your wp-config.php. Too, depending on the level of support that your host offers, they might be willing to help you out, too. If that doesn't work, let us know. Good luck!
