[Plugin: WordPress Move] Fail to migrate if using different table prefix

    Great plugin, it’s really useful.

    Unfortunately, it won’t correctly migrate to the site if they have different table name prefix. The default WordPress table name prefix is “wp_“, but for some reason, the destination may use different prefix.

    A peek on the result database, I can see the tables have successfully copied, but using the original prefix name.

    Hope it will be solved on next release.

    Related to this, beware if you’re moving from a dev server to a server with a database that hosts several domains… Imports the tables strictly as is, so if you hadn’t thought that through (like I hadn’t :)), you’ll overwrite the wp_ prefix tables when you didn’t intend to.

    Would be nice to have an option to set a new DB table prefix, at the same place you can set the new domain.

    I initially thought it was unnecessary (hence such an option is not available currently) but I now see the unavailability of it renders the plugin useless under some circumstances.

    I promise I will ship this feature with the next release 🙂

    Hey, thanks for the quick response :).

    The plugin worked great otherwise, by the way; really really useful. Thanks!

    @mert – Great plugin except for the prefix problem. Unfortunately, this is a showstopper for us. We never use the standard prefix for security reasons.

    Any idea when this will be fixed?

    I hear ya!

    I have an exam to take and a couple of papers to turn in, so it may take about 2 weeks. I love coding more than the school work, so probably way earlier than that 🙂
