If you do a Google search for, “Point your new domain to your old server”, only 1 result is returned. Awesome. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[WordPress Move] [Plugin: WordPress Move] MOVE unsuccessful…](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-move-move-unsuccessful/) * Thread Starter [flashflight](https://wordpress.org/support/users/flashflight/) * (@flashflight) * [14 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-move-move-unsuccessful/#post-2642692) * Step 1 reads; “Point your new domain to your old server.” Both domains are on the same server, so there is no old server. Again, you’re assuming I know what you are talking about. I don’t know your vocabulary, nor do I live in your mind to understand what you think you are saying. I’m frustrated because you are glossing over the details. I obviously need specifics so I can do EXACTLY as you think I need to do. * Hey, I’m just trying to get out of this. I appreciate your time and energy on the plugin. The way it was worded to me, I was doing what I needed to do. You explained that I was wrong. There’s a happy and sad path with UI development… I’m on the sad path right now. I’m not trying to piss you off, I’m trying to get out of your hair! * So, thanks again. I just need more specifics I guess. If both domains are on the same server, how do I point a domain at an old server? * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[WordPress Move] [Plugin: WordPress Move] MOVE unsuccessful…](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-move-move-unsuccessful/) * Thread Starter [flashflight](https://wordpress.org/support/users/flashflight/) * (@flashflight) * [14 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-move-move-unsuccessful/#post-2642690) * I swear I went through your steps exactly (without step 1) and I am in the exact same place. No new site, no old site. I just want out of this! Please advise! Thank you. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[WordPress Move] [Plugin: WordPress Move] MOVE unsuccessful…](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-move-move-unsuccessful/) * Thread Starter [flashflight](https://wordpress.org/support/users/flashflight/) * (@flashflight) * [14 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-move-move-unsuccessful/#post-2642686) * Added detail for step 1: both domains are on the same server… so there is no “ old server”. With that information, now what? * Thanks! * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[WordPress Move] [Plugin: WordPress Move] MOVE unsuccessful…](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-move-move-unsuccessful/) * Thread Starter [flashflight](https://wordpress.org/support/users/flashflight/) * (@flashflight) * [14 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-move-move-unsuccessful/#post-2642684) * Steps: [1] I went into WordPress Move Settings, [2] completed the necessary ftp fields in addition to the default backup path you suggest on the screen. [ 3] Went to Tools Migration Assistant and [4] opted for “Change Domain Name”, [ 5] provided the two domain names, and [6] “Change!” * Now, I’m here with no existing site, just one wp-admin access and none of the last year’s worth of inputs. When I try to access the old domain it bounces me to the new domain with no content, plugins, themes, etc. * Make sense? * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[WordPress Move] [Plugin: WordPress Move] MOVE unsuccessful…](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-move-move-unsuccessful/) * Thread Starter [flashflight](https://wordpress.org/support/users/flashflight/) * (@flashflight) * [14 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-move-move-unsuccessful/#post-2642683) * LOL! sorry! * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[WordPress Move] [Plugin: WordPress Move] MOVE unsuccessful…](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-move-move-unsuccessful/) * Thread Starter [flashflight](https://wordpress.org/support/users/flashflight/) * (@flashflight) * [14 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-move-move-unsuccessful/#post-2642680) * Ok…. what does that mean? With all due respect, that just provided me no understandable direction for anything. I really appreciate your response. I just need direction as I am not nearly as educated on your plugin. Again, no offense at all, just needing clean steps to remedy. * Thank you! Viewing 8 replies - 1 through 8 (of 8 total)
