Step by step: Moving a WP blog to a new host and a new name
I am moving a wp blog from the test site to the destination and changing the name of the url at the same time (I decided to go after a different niche instead of staying in the same).
I just figured out how to do it... it might be useful for someone, or maybe there is an easier way and you guys can help to get to the best method.
Step 1: backup files and database (check drop if exist).
Step 2: edit database and change the following strings:
1.
[old-host-account-name]/html/[subfolder]/ (I had it in a subfolder of my test site)
to
[new-host-account-name]/html/
2.
http://[old-domain]/[subfolder]
to
http://[new-domain]
Step 4: create database in new host
Step 5: edit wp-admin.php and replace the database information
Step 6: upload files
Step 7: upload database
Step 8: have some green tea...
Hope it helps...
