In reply to: Please make moving between servers and domains easierWould it be possible to add content using relative URI paths rather than absolute?

In reply to: Please make moving between servers and domains easierRe. point 1, I usually move the db between the localhost dev machine and the live site, i.e. not so much between WWW domains.
Re. 2, this exactly what I do (and also edit via TextPad 😀 ). Complications arise when the editor does not support the character set used by the database and ends up mangling it as a result. I suppose I could cook up SQL queries to search & replace entries, but it doesn’t change the fact that it is a tedious and redundant process.
Some CMS can isolate the database from host & domain specific information well (eg.: ZenCart and others) and doesn’t require external intervention when importing the db to another host. I was hoping one day WordPress could do the same.

In reply to: Please make moving between servers and domains easierCool, thanks. Believe me, I do read the docs, and I had a hard time to find the info I was looking for. Having commented-out samples in the wp-config.php would save a lot of trouble.
That said, adding the relevant define(‘WP_SITEURL’, ..) and define(‘WP_HOME’, ..) statements in wp-config.php didn’t do much for URIs already existing in the db. Works for menus, does not work for images present in the pages (i.e. the ones in the uploads directory).
this is a path: /local/home/site/wordpress/
Yes, which is what I meant. The wp_postmeta table in the db contains unix paths for the image uploads in the media library. If that path is wrong, the images in the media library will be kaput. So those need to be changed too if I were to move the db from one host to another.

In reply to: Please make moving between servers and domains easierWhat do you mean? No part in wp-config.php allows me do define the site root URI and Unix path.
