Thank you so much for this it's really helpful. I am transfering my website to new domain but same host(blue host). I tried following these steps and was doing great until i had to transfer sql data base. i kept getting an error "#1044 access denied for user" any idea why this would happen? am guess there was something wrong with my extraction of the sql database not sure where? if anyone can give me tips on possible solutions i would be greatful.

Excellent tutorial. I've never done anything like this before. I just followed your video very slowly, step by step. Stopped your video after each step (watched some bits a few times over just for me to digest properly) and then repeated on my side. I'm thrilled to say my website is up and working again with new host. Thank you sooooo much.

I just 'go it!' -- as you said. AND the best part? When I checked to see if the site loaded on the new web address -- WHICH IT DID - PERFECTLY!!! -- there were no broken links! I am literally throwing virtual confetti! Thanks!! WHOO HOO No WordPress headaches today and my client will be happy, happy!! BOOM!

After trying about 10 plugins to migrate to another domain and getting in a mess, I tried this bare bones method. So simple! Thank You!

Thank you for such an in-depth guide for migrating my sites. I didn't want to bother with the all-in-one migration plug-in. I've learned so much from this and am confident in doing this with any site. In the past I had troubles with trying to login the new domain site with its appropriate new credentials, and found a solution based on tinkering around php files and file manager. This channel will always be my go-to guide for WP needs. Thanks a bunch, saved me from an afternoon migraine.

What an insightful presentation of a successful migration. I work for one of the biggest hosting companies and I will definitely make sure that my customers visit your channel if they need a detailed explanation on how to do specific stuff such as WordPress migrations and backups. Bravo 👏🏻

Thanks George! I would really appreciate that 😀

Thank you for this tutorial! I've learned SO MUCH performing this task while guided by your instructional video. I had a bit of problem towards the end with 'broken pages' and the fix you mentioned (bulk action, edit, draft, then published) wasn't working -- but thanks to you -- by that point in the video I had the confidence to reverse engineer a solution. I remembered you talking about 'permalinks' so I went back to WP dashboard and adjusted the permalinks, and changed the URL to new one -- and voilá -- seems to be working. I did it! This non-techy person did it! Thanks. You've got a subscriber for life!

Most helpful video I have ever watched concerning migrating a WordPress website!!!

Fantastic tutorial - if you are migrating your WP site take 17 minutes to watch this video. Totally agree with the presenter that by doing this manually you get a better understanding of how your WordPress site works rather than relying on plugins and paying for premium addons. The insight you get from carrying these jobs out manually can really help later when debugging and fixing problems that you may run into.

This worked perfectly! Thank you. I'd just like to add two additional notes: 1) If you have any custom menu links, change them to the new page urls, otherwise when you click on the homepage menu it'll take you back to the old pages. 2) If you're using a plugin such as WooCommerce, you may need to deactivate and reactivate the plugin for your products to show up again. Those were the only minor issues I encountered. Otherwise great job WPLearningLab!

One thing I was informed of to fix the permalink problem is to select the permalink setting and click on it once and then do it a second time. This forces the database to reformat the structure...so I have been told. There is also a migration tool that works much like duplicator that I have used and does this faster. BUT this video gives you a clear understanding of how all these basic elements work together.

@wplearninglab

Hi William, You're right about the permalink problem. I include that in all tutorials no migration now. I forgot to do it on this one :( I think you mean the All-in-One Migration plugin. It's way faster than duplicator. Thanks for stopping by William!

This man is a true IT pro, not a plug and play pretender. People, pay for - premium plug ins only work if your site is limited in size, and what business site is? Take the 17 minutes (perhaps 2 hours to follow along) and I promise you will learn a lot and be successful. I'm a 40 something CEO of an good sized company and my IT head was unavailable - I have limited IT / Tech background and a complex, multi media site. I had a serious services deadline a weekend away, AND I WAS SUCCESSFUL. That means anyone who follows his instructions will be too. How may I reach you directly?

I couldn't agree more. I'm part of a fan-run blog for a sports team and we changed domains/hosts. I purchased Duplicator, then when that didn't work I tried BackupBuddy. What they don't tell you is, if you're site is over a certain size, it becomes a hassle and freezes on you almost every time. I wish I had known it was this easy to do before I spent money on plugins I can't use.

@wplearninglab

Hindsight is 20-20. But when the database is really big (over a gigabyte) or the site files altogether are over a gigabyte then this method doesn't work either. For those sizes you have use SSH which is a secure connection right from your computer to the hosting server. Doing a tutorial on that is on my list of to do's.

@wplearninglab

7 жыл бұрын

+premier69 Data serialization is a way of storing structured information in a database using the php method serialize(). It basically adds a URL to the saved data in the database. Changing the URL of the overall site without changing it in the serialized data can cause problems. Luckily, this doesn't happen often and good migration plugins will covert the serialized data. Tutorial on those coming soon.
