How to move a WordPress site

Restoring the original site theme, plugins and settings.

  1. Login to phpMyadmin of your new domain.

  2. If your database is small, use the following method to replace the existing new database.

  3. Navigate to your new WordPress database

  4. Click the SQL tab.

  5. On your local desktop, open the saved database from your original .

  6. Copy the content (Ctrl+A)+(Ctrl+C)

  7. Go back to the browser sql window and paste the content of your database file. Click ‘GO’

  8. You may have to wait some time.

  9. Check your new website, by refreshing the admin page your already in.

  10. Make any changes that may not have been carried over.

  11. Check your new restored site.

The only amendment to the above is when your database is large (over 2 MB) If this is the case, you will have to import your database as a compressed file using the Cpanel restore utility. To do this, you MUST ensure that the old saved database has the same name as the new database you created when you installed the new site as above. With this done, you can simple restore the old database (saved from the old site) over the new one.
