I have a wordpress blog which I need to transfer from one domain name to another.
My domain I was using was a co.cc domain name and they took my domain name as I was getting traffic to that domain name.Now I cant login to that co.cc.
So here I cant import the files from the Tools option in wordpress.
I want to know how can you transfer the blog from one domain name to another domain name while copying all the posts,images,gallery,comments&all other details and settings.
Thanks

      If you just need the content, do this step:

      1. from your dashboard find Tool --> Export (old your blog)
      2. Download export file to your local computer
      3. Login to your new blog
      4. Find tool --> Import --> Wordpress
      5. Browse file --> Upload file and import

    After importing the content to your new blog (with the new domain name) You need to redirect the pages/posts from the old domain to the new domain so that you do not lose any rankings from the old domain. You can use the Redirection plugin for the redirects.
    If you had submitted your old domain to google webmaster tools, you will also want to set it so that it redirects to the new domain. Go to Site Configuration > Change of Address

    Hello,

    Here is some tips to transfer the wordpress blog from one domain to another domain:

    If database and URL are equal, you can transfer your files through copy and database. If user has been changed, edit wp-config.php to have the exact values.

    Hey Charly,

    Soffell pretty much summarised it. I actually created a wordpress domain transfer guide that i think you might find helpful. They say pictures are worth a thousand words ;-)

    Check out my guide on my new twitter account (takeoverpageuno). I think you'll enjoy the read.

    Cheers
    Alec
