    Hello there,

    I need some help exporting my blog to a new hosting provider. In short, my domain name expired and I needed to buy a new name due to personal circumstances. My hosting for my old name which I will call domain1.com is still active but is about to expire so I have a time limit. I am currently using the IP address of the server to access my files and have done a backup of the files onto my computer.

    However, I cannot export my blog as when I try to attempt to access it using the IP address then the wordpress software redirect to what the address should be (it used to be blog.domain1.com) which as you can imagine no longer works. I’m getting rather frustrated as I have 2 blogs on this server and a VB forum and neither I can transfer or access 🙁

    Please does anyone know how I can access and export it? I’m pretty sure it is running 2.5.1 but i cannot access to see.

    Thank you for reading.

  • I cannot export my blog

    Your blog posts, comments, categories are in the database which I presume you can still access through phpMyAdmin from your control panel. Backup SQL which you can import in your new server.

    Thanks for posting. Yes, I downloaded the databases of the blogs and forum to my local computer. However, this seems a little in-depth for me. I cannot just upload them again through the CP, and when I try to make another database with matching information I keep receiving an error.

    I am using extendcp.co.uk This a little over my head so if you can help, please provide as much detail as possible. Thank you again.

    See if this helps.

    Thank you for posting this. I did everything almost exactly as the video (some minor differences due to different CP and using a Mac).

    Everything appeared to go well. However, I get this error upon viewing my new blog…

    Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/sites/***.co.uk/public_html/diary/wp-includes/widgets.php on line 686

    And when I try and view the the wp-admin/ I get more errors and after I’ve logged into WordPress login page and get a ton of errors and a blank white page….

    I star’d out my domain name.

    Thanks again.

    Anyone know what this issue may be? I’m giving up hope now. I’ll be so very sad to loose all my blog posts. I just don’t understand why this is not working and I’m not technical enough to figure this out. It is too in-depth for me, sadly.

    FTP/Re-upload WordPress files and folders. Looks like some are missing or incomplete upload. Then make a visual check that all those are in your server.
