Exporting Wordpress sites
- This process is relatively easy...Just remember that you have a database and files in your hosting account
- This process reflects transferring to a different hosting/server account with a new domain
- After you've established a new domain and hosting login to the old account
- In Cpanel go to phpMyAdmin in the Databases section
- Choose the database of the website you want to export and check all tables
- Choose the "Export" option
- Choose the SQL format and click "Go"
- Keep tabs on the .sql file
- Download your entire site to the computer
- Now go to the new hosting
- Upload the entire site
- Open the .sql file in Dreamweaver and do a find/replace function new site/old site url and save
- Open the new Cpanel
- Create a new database and update the wp-config file
- in phpMyAdmin select the new database (empty)
- Go to the Import tab on the top menu
- Click browse and upload the .sql file
- Click "go"
- You can also update your database with the fixdb.php file which you can upload to your site and link to and fill the form and run
