    Hello. I am new to wordpress and am making an Intranet for another company. I have set it all up at my computer using MAMP as the server. Now I am at the other place and am having some trouble getting it to come on to their server. I have dowloaded the files but the next step on the the following pdf says that I need to export the database into MySQL. how do I do this?

    Hi there,

    You can export and import databases with WordPress quite easily.

    1. Log in to the WordPress site that is finished.
    2. Go to the settings menu and look for import / export in the submenu
    3. Go to export
    4. Choose what content you want to transfer
    5. Download the database

    Once downloaded

    6. Log in to the new site where you want to import the database
    7. Go to the import settings
    8. Choose WordPress
    9. Upload the database you just downloaded from the other site

    That’s it.

    Good luck!

    Hello Jeroen,

    A quick bit of caution. On some hosts, if your database is beyond 50 MB, then you will need to contact the host and ask for some help. They may have a limit as to the size of the database that can be done directly in the interface provided to you (very often in the cPanel phpMyadmin). The support people for your host can input the database for you very quickly if that is the case. Just upload the file to the location of your WordPress site and let them know.

    Kindest regards,
    Arnel C.

    Next question.. I am not getting an error that says Can’t Select Database.
