How to Transfer a Website to a New Domain? Move your WordPress site to another domain. How do I change one domain to another? Migrate to a new domain name?
Migrating to new domain: Reminder to myself
1. Zip/ compress – Copy (download) old files ()
- upload /extract – paste to new correct folder location
2. Export database from phpMyAdmin,
- create new database and user,
- add user to db with ALL PRIVILEGES,
- Import to new db
- wp_options edit live and home options to new domain
