Move a WordPress Site to New Location or Domain

July 11, 2012 by Pat Fortino

If you want to keep things really simple, there is a wonderful script that eliminates all of the URL change steps.

  1. Copy all of your website files to the new location.
  2. Import the old database into the new database.
  3. Edit the wp-config.php file and update the database, database user, and database password.
  4. Download the WordPress Search and Replace Tool script: http://interconnectit.com/124/search-and-replace-for-wordpress-databases/
    The script consists of only one file.
  5. Upload the script to the root of your WordPress installation.
    Note: Please carefully read the instructions that come with the script.
  6. Type the path to the script; for example, http://mysite.com/blog/search.php (I changed the script name to search.php)
    Pages: Page 1 Page 2 Page 3
