    Hello,

    I’m a first time Joomla user, and I’m having issues with migrating my site to word press. I’ve followed the general instructions to trouble shoot the issue for:
    SQLSTATE[HY000] [1045] Access denied for user ‘xxx’@’localhost’ (using password: YES)

    but none of these steps have worked. I’m curious about if the problem is because I’m migrating it to a development site instead of production.

    If Joomla and WordPress are not installed on the same host, you can do this:

    1. export the Joomla database to a SQL file (with phpMyAdmin for example)
    2. import this SQL file on the same database as WordPress
    3. run the migration by using WordPress database credentials (host, user, password, database) instead of the Joomla ones in the plugin settings. You can find the WordPress credentials in the wp-config.php file.
