   First, I can't use multisite as this is for different clients with different hosts. I am doing several church websites. I have setup a "perfect" site. I want to copy the files and mysql database to the new sites - I know how to do that. My question is, what do I have to change in each setup so that the site works. The domain name and hosting has changed for each site, so I am sure I have to make modifications to the MySql database - what would those be? Also, do I need to make any changes to the files? Also, I am just talking about the structure, plugins, theme, etc. I do not need to transfer any posts or pages. However, I do have a clean site with no posts or pages if that helps. Here is what I know:

   Change the info in the config file.

   That's about it.

   Any help would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks,

   Drew

   Hi AtlantisLabs,

   Having the clean site with no posts and pages is a real life saver here. I would still recommend exporting the database because you may have plugins installed that have modified the database structure (added tables or fields to tables).

   I would recommend treating this like any server to server move of WordPress.

   You'll also want to change the Site URL to the correct domain name:

   That should be everything you need to do. Hope this helps!
