Simple Guide To Moving WordPress To A New Server
Occasionally WordPress will need to be moved around within the current server. Fortunately, there is no need to re-install WordPress in the new location, and the following instructions will show how to copy wordpress easily and effectively.
First, to move one's WordPress to a new location (thus invariably changing its URL), all of the existing WordPress core files have to be moved either into a specifically created new directory; or, as the case may be, if it is going to be moved to the root directory (which has to be prepared beforehand) all index.php, as well as any other files which are to be copied, have to be backed up. They may also require moving.
The next step is to log in to the blog and change the location of the WordPress URI (WordPress Address box, located within the General panel of Administration/ Settings). While here, the Blog (URI) address location needs to be updated (matching the WordPress URI) as well. Once settings have been saved, the blog should not be opened or viewed and wp-content/cache (the complete folder) has to be deleted by users of WordPress 2.0.
Following this, the WordPress core files, complete with files from the original directory/ subdirectories, can be moved on to the required new location. Any Permalinks in use may require the Permalink structure to be updated (done in Administration - Settings - Permalinks) to the relevant .htaccess file (this file is situated in the directory where the main file index.php is located).
Occasionally, some uploaded images may be found missing. Changing the image paths within the SQL database (the Tamba2 website has a tutorial with detailed instructions how to accomplish this) will rectify this error.
In order to avoid any new uploads ending up in the old folders, the settings for the "store uploads folder" also need to be changed. This is done in the Administration/ Settings/ Miscellaneous panel. The new location must also be updated for existing media/ images upload links.
Depending on the ISP in use, some of the user permissions may be found to have changed from 0644 to 0000 and will require changing back to their original setting.
A lot of blogs have themes which support menues. Frequently, some links (like the homepage link) still have former subdirectories embedded. These links can be updated in Appearance Menues. Having your new URI locations ready before files are moved is of utmost importance, although problems arising from accidentally moving files before this is finished can be amended.
Once these steps are completed, the new site needs to be tested and, if necessary, the new address passed on to other users.
