Migrating to Cloudways

    The Ontario Genealogical Society is considering migrating from its current hosting company to Cloudways. We have done a trial migration they provided and it didn’t seem to handle WPDA stuff very well. They migrated and created the new site with a different WordPress database name. I checked WPDA Tables and none of the schema names had been changed.

    Does anyone have experience with migrating to Cloudways? I’d value your input.

    Thanks

    Hi @charlesgodwin,

    Have you tried the script we have for migrated sites here: https://wpdataaccess.com/docs/data-explorer-problems-and-solutions/transfer-to-other-wordpress-database/

    Let us know how it goes. ??

    This looks great. Thanks.

    There’s a “small” gotcha but I think its OK.

    Our site is a multisite with about 35 subsites so I think we would need to do this for each subsite WPDA tables. yes/no?

    We also keep a lot of our data in separate databases to protect our WordPress database from unexpected errors. So I think we would need to do this for each of these databases as well. yes/no?

    I think it’s not difficult with your scripts but it will be a long script. But much better that UI changes.

    Hi @charlesgodwin,

    You’re welcome! Yes, you’d have to do this for every separate database per site. Rather than a long script, you’d have multiple scripts to run per site with their respective values (db names, table prefixes, etc).

    Let us know if you have other questions. ??

    Thanks. I’ll let you know when/if we migrate.
