Make a full WordPress Transfer

A WordPress migration from one hosting provider to another is an easy task if performed properly. It consists of three parts - moving the files, moving the database and reconfiguration (if needed).

Transfer WordPress Files

These are following steps involved in migrating a wordpress:

• Zip the files and folders - excluding the following folder : blogs, cgi-bin, tmp, wp-config.php

• Create a new database user (usually they should be under Mysql databases -> Add a new user -> Username and Password)
• Add the created user to the wordpress's database, the one that is yet to be moved
• Click Add and make sure all the permissions are checked and click Make changes
• Export the database inside phpMyAdmin

 Reconfigure WordPress to work in our server

• Navigate to Databases -> Website_name -> Add Database User
• Fill the details and Click OK

• Delete all the files and folders - excluding the following folder : blogs, cgi-bin, tmp, wp-config.php
• Upload the zip file that we created in the old hosting location and extract them here
• Uncheck replace existing files

• Import the .sql file that we downloaded from the old wordpress

• Change the "table_prefix" value to the same name in phpMyAdmin (eg:wp_)

• Download the following plugin and install in the wordpress
• Update the links to new location links
• Make sure every website is working
