Migrating Multisite

    Hi

    I have installed this plugin and activated it, after migrating my multisite to a different server, I cant get access to the network admin dashboard and area, It keeps asking me to login and then redirects me to the login again, as a result I cant create any new sites.

    Where must I look in the database to remove all the plugin entries?
    If I uninstall this plugin in the original site before migrating it, will it remove all the changes it made from the site and from the database so that I can migrate the site successfully?

    Thanks in advance

    Hi. Ive just migrated a multisite to a new server, and had problems with an apparently run away php file using most of the CPU. This is unconfirmed, but it seemed to abate when I deactivated iThemes Security.
    I suspect iThemes security does some tailoring (to its activities and scan requirements) when it is installed, and this may be problematic when such a server move happens. When I attempted to re network activate iThemes Security there was an immediate slowdown in the site admin area, so I disabled it again.
    But I really like this plugin, so (tomorrow) I am going to completely uninstall it, then reinstall from scratch. I believe that might be best practice with this sort of plugin when moving to a new server.
    I would appreciate any comment or feedback on this

    One thought. If you had the alternative backend login address option active on your original site, iThemes Security may be still trying to use that option on the new site, and this could be your issue? I have no specific knowledge that this is so, just an intuition.
