The URL associated with one of my sites (for a local business) is being interpreted as spam or porn or something by various filters. I have established a new URL into which I have installed Word Press. Is there a way to import template tweaks as well as content from the old site to the new? Will widget formatting, themes, plug ins and such also transfer? Thank you.

if you copy your entire /wp-contents folder to your new set up then do a phpmyadmin export/import you should be fine

Posted 1 month ago #OK, I did all that (as best as I could), but there remains a problem. Let me explain. I am working with a URL A registered with one company that has URL A pointed to URL B on my GoDaddy hosting server. The problem is that spam filters have been interpreting URL B as porn (it has nothing whatsoever to do with anything like that [i think it was the three letters "lbb"]. Anyway, I set up URL C, went through the import-export process, the content and database stuff all transferred over, and I pointed URL A to URL C. I noticed however when I typed in URL A that it went to URL C, but then went back and forth getting data from URL B. I parked B. It still did it. The GoDaddy tech support guy said that I probably imported back into URL C references to URL B. If that is true I don't know how to undo it. Help?
