   I am looking at moving a WordPress installation from one server to another (same domain).

   If I just copy the contents of wp-content to the new installation and move the database that is all that is needed right?

   WP keep no information on disk. Everything is in the database, right?

   Thanks.

   Thanks,

   I found this in your link above:

   The only problem s that some plugins place the URL in their data which you will have to change as well.

   Even if you uninstall the plugin, the data remains. YOu will have to find what changes need to be made and write a custom SQL statements to change them.
