Moving WP within my server

    Hi guys & gals,

    I’ve been reading the docs about relocating your blog in another directory, and I’m asking myself if it wouldn’t be easier just to backup the database, make a fresh install inside your new directory, and upload into it the database.

    That would be three easy steps which you’re quite familiar with, and with not so many risks.

    What do you think about it ?

    All those steps in the docs, and the caution you must spend in them, are quite intimidating to me, so perhaps I just wanted to do it the basic way.

    Thanks for all your opinions.

    Moving from domain1 to domain2?

    Moving from folder_a to folder_b?

    Moving from web-root folder to web-root/folder_a?

    Moving from web-root folder/folder_a to web-root folder?

    Which is it?

    Hi Michael, thanks for posting,

    It is the option 3, moving from web-root folder to folder_a, but I’d like to know as well the option 2 – from folder to folder.

    And, indeed, the rest of the options 🙂

    Wow figaro thanks for that reference is just what I was looking for 🙂

    So I could move the WP core files / make a fresh install in the new directory, then export and EDIT the database as you show here, then import the modified database ?

    Could I import the database through the Admin Panel too, right ? If it’s a fresh install with a new database, then there’s no need to clear the old tables manually, it is that ?

    Could I import the database through the Admin Panell too, right ? Without clearing the old tables manually ?

    You would need to do that though phpMyAdmin like I show in the video.

    Ok, thanks a lot. I guess I could try to create a new database too, associate it to a brand new install, then fill it with the modified .sql file.

    Do you think there can be some problems that way ?

    I’m not habituated still to PhpMyAdmin, that’s why I have a sort of fixed idea.

    Then I could rewrite the uploads (images) via ftp.
