Exporting and Importing – New Domain and Host

  • I have a WP blog under domain https://www.abc.com and I am changing to domain https://www.def.com as well as changing hosts.
    I have seen several posts here about exporting my WP entries using a SQL dump from phpMyAdmin. That brings me to my first question:
    What options should I take when setting up the export? What format should it be saved in?
    Once I have the SQL dump, I want to take those entries and move them to the new server and domain. I know that once I get the entries imported I will have to make adjustments on the wp_options table so that the redirects work correctly.
    Question is, how do I import that data? Can it be done through phpMyAdmin and if so, how?
    Thanks

  • Yeah, I cannot figure out this one. I have exported the old database, changed the settings for the URL in options. I’m just about at the end of my options! I know that more than one blog can play nice on a domain…just not sure why it’s doing that with my comments, categories and archives to my old blog on another domain.They are all on separate MySQL databases on all domains too. I do have them all under a multi-domain plan though…maybe that has something to do with it?
