    OK, so when I go the migration assistant on the new host it pulls up a whole list of files to select/import. Should’t we just be requesting the backup files from the old host?
    Thanks,

    One issue I have w/the old hosting company is that I cannot connect to the FTP.
    I am now looking in File Manager, have drilled down, and in the backup folder, I see the backup which are in this URL:
    public_html/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-move/backup

    Is that the info that goes into the field in WP Move Manager?

    OK, so would you be so king to answer my question, i.e., can I locate the Remote Backup Path via File Manager, or do I have to open up an FTP session on the current host to locate that info?
    Thanks,

    So, trying to understand. Working in WP Admin to configure FTP clients. Now will need to go into FTP itself to obtain the backup path? If so, might I suggest that that info be made available on the page (Back Up Manager) so a not so technically talented guy like me can copy/paste right from there?
    Please advise if my first assumption to go into FTP (or, can I just go into the file manager in cPanel) to obtain the file path.
    Thanks,
    Kevin

    I am assuming that both FTP servers are working.
    The instructions aren’t overly clear on the WP Move settings side on the new host.
    Hostname? Am I putting the current host ftp server info in that box? Remote backup path? Is that the path where the backup files are on the current server? In the backup manager on the current host, there is no URL, just a list of backup up files/databases–So these things are not clear to me.

    OK, my eyes just glassed over.
    I did a full backup with WP Move on the current host.
    I just installed WP and WP Move on the destination server.
    What is the easiest of the two (2) methods you just gave? I am not a coder or overly technical. I would assume that Opt. #1 is the easier. The new host (Blue Host) has an FTP server and I have an FTP address.
    Thanks for your help.

    Thx for the info. Now on the config page for the current install, it’s asking for the remote backup path. Will that be available once I install WP on the destination host?

    Hi;
    I actually downloaded a plugin and was looking at it. I’ll go to your site and garner some more info.
    I also looked at the .css editor and saw where the fonts were defined, etc.
    The plugin asked to choose Font #1 and #2, etc.
    Wasn’t sure how choosing just the ones that I want would affect the rest of the site, etc.
    I’m going to do a little more studying. Thanks for all the input. It might be just as easy to pay someone to install them. It’s always cheaper to do it correctly the first time than to have to repair.

    BD–Thanks for the info. I’ll have to read up as that might be a little beyond my skill level. The fonts need to show up in certain areas, and not sure if my skill level will know how to do that.
    Kevin

    PS–Did check out Typekit, annual fee, not really crazy about paying for fonts.

    Thank-you both for taking the time to respond. Yes, Nathan, I want to be able to modify fonts “simply”. I used the copy/paste function as I was copying/pasting text from another site, and it came out worse that just copying/pasting/inserting into the post I was creating.

    I don’t.
    So, will need some specifics on what to look for as I wouldn’t know
    by just looking at a page of code.
    If anyone else has had an issue w/password resetting, please advise.
    Thanks,

    Checked what I knew to check, nothing seems odd.
    I set up a new user, etc. and after initial login, had to do the same PW reset as would not allow me to login. Anyone else any suggestions?

    Yes. Where? Server side or WP admin side?
