This is :
- short tutorial – How To Move a WordPress website
- does not cover already installed and configured plug-ins
- take care of your own changes in your source code added (plug-ins, templates or … the core 
)
1) Preparation:
Have your website and database restored to new location.
Have your details of mysql database:
-hostname
-database name
-username (to access database)
-password (to access database)
-Backup database from old location in a file. Take care of its size because on new location may be size restriction. Do not include name of database (do no check ‘add drop database statement’)
-Restore database in new location as it was in the old location.
2) Edit configuration file.
It is: /wp-config.inc.php
Look for the following lines and change details according to your real details
define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘your_database name’);
define(‘DB_USER’, ‘your_database username’);
define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, your_database password’);
define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘your_database host, IP or name’);
After you have done changes do not forget to save.
Do not try the website now, you will be taken to the old location.
Proceed with next step.
3) Changing website settings
3.1) Change absolute path stored hard into database
- get into your website database (using phpMyAdmin for example)
- browse “options” table and edit the record which has “option_name” filed value = “siteurl”.
- change “option_value” field content with the url to your new location.
- save it.
You can change further or you can do it using “settings” in administrative interface. Let’s do it now.
- browse again “options” table and edit the record which has “option_name” filed value = “home”.
- change “option_value” field content with the url to your new location (the same like above)
- save it.
Now you will be able to login into management interface and your website will run as you expect.
The first two parameters you can find as following:
-WordPress address (URL)
-Blog address (URL)
Go in admin interface:
http://www.yoursite_url/wp-admin/ (or whatever it is)
Log in (username and password are the same like in the old location)
Go to “settings”
There are:
-WordPress address (URL)
-Blog address (URL)
The “ping_sites” value cannot be managed here at all.
4) Changing file permission
Change files permissions only if you need to.
However if you will try to change file content or to add.delete images the system will tell you exactly what folders and file must have write permission.
Note: The hosting where SuEx is installed does not require setting up file permission. All is happening through secure mechanism.
