Hi Khang,

I suspected that but wasn’t sure. Thank you for clarifying. I will revise my rating upwards again. ??

Hi Takis,

I did a test in Chrome developer tools, testing in all available devices.

What I noticed is that the 900-pixel images displayed at 450 pixels are not downsized in these devices; however, except for the Retina screens, I would think the images would be downsized to 400 pixels by Adaptive Images for these other mobile devices. Yes? No?

Another possible issue is the Featured Images on my home page (www.mademers.com). Those three images are each 600 x 465 pixels, and are 173kb, 133kb, and 93kb respectively. All display smaller in landscape mode on mobile phones, yet none of these have smaller versions appearing in the Adaptive Images folder. Are these file sizes considered small enough already for a mobile phone?

All the default options were left checked as is.

Yes, that makes sense. I did reduce the image quality for many of the images to get them at around or below 200KB, and many are now below 100KB.

However, I thought it was not just a matter of file size but image size. I have several images that are 900 pixels high and displayed at 450 pixels high (to accommodate the Retina screen); I would think those would be downsized. No?

I will test in Chrome developer tools to see if more images are accessed, though I don’t know if this facsimile is the same as an actual mobile device accessing the site. Will also test in my tablet and see what happens.

Thanks for the clarification.

Okay, great. That’s what I have.

Reporting in: all went well. Just one last question: the instructions say to watch out for permission changes to “0000” and change back to “0644”. I have no “0000” but I do have several “0755”. Do these need to be changed to “0644”?

A few things to note for others who may find this post: because I was only moving the files within the same server (from a subdomain to the main domain), I actually needed to follow “Moving Directories On Your Existing Server”.

I backed up my new site’s files onto my home computer AND downloaded my databases just in case things went pear-shaped.

Then I emptied out my Public_html of all the old site’s files.

Then I logged into my new WP site and changed its URLs as per step 4 & 5. Then I moved its files to the core Public_html.

Logged back in to the new address. Downloaded Velvet Blues Update URLs (note: I love whoever built this) and updated my URLs.

Checked the site. Almost everything went well. Just a few things were missed by Velvet: my image widgets and their links had to be rebuilt (no big deal), and my Smart Slider 3 galleries had to be opened and resaved to find their new links. Again, a small issue.

Thanks to everyone here and on my server, Just Host, for their help.

Thanks! That works.

Thanks! Works like a charm.

Thanks! I didn’t check the page itself so I didn’t notice the new option at bottom.

I shall happily leave a positive review and I will donate once I’ve got everything done and know how much I can afford to divvy up among the plugins I’m using for my new site.

Much appreciated.

Okay, Javier, you need to grow up or forgot about WordPress and work somewhere else. My comments were fair and unbiased. You will notice I did not leave a negative review of the plugin because it is not the fault of the plugin that it does not migrate WordPress subscribers, it is a problem with your limited documentation.

I did reorder my columns during my MANY attempts to get the plugin to import the user email. I reordered, I renamed…

You allegedly have 10,000+ active users but only 49 reviews. What does that tell you?

Well, now you will have 50 reviews.

Okay, thanks, and wish me luck!

And thank you, Marvel Labs, for the suggestion to run a query on the database if I run into link problems.

Much appreciated.

As I said, I did prepare the CSV as recommended; the email was imported but when I checked the actual user data in WordPress, the email was missing. See screenshot of imported data: https://mademers.com/globalindieauthor/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/CSVPLugin1.jpg

and screenshot of missing email when viewed in Users:
https://mademers.com/globalindieauthor/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/CSVPLugin2.jpg

So that is a bug that perhaps has happened with a recent update?

What I now understand from your response is that the plugin is NOT intended to import subscriber data from another WordPress site. I now understand I need a different plugin, one that can migrate subscribers from one WordPress site to another.

I recommend that you make this clearer in your plugin description. It is silly to suggest that a potential user should read through support questions to learn of this limitation.

Moreover, one of your screenshots suggests that one can use this to migrate subscribers from one WP site to another: in the final column, one sees “user_url”, which is one of the data columns exported from a WordPress subscriber database.

I am not the only one who wrongly believed I could use your plugin to import subscribers from another WP site. The negative review you received from modpolor clearly indicates he believed the same thing. Your mention of other support questions regarding passwords also indicates others are making this assumption. Rather than answer like a petulant child, ask yourself why users are making this assumption about your plugin and then address your lack of documentation. Your FAQ page has one entry: “Not yet.” Your description does not warn users this plugin is not intended to import the kind of encrypted password generated by WordPress. This failure to warn wastes the user’s time trying to use your plugin, it wastes your time answering irrelevant support questions, and it invites negative reviews.

Lastly, asking for money to develop your plugin so maybe in future it can be used to import a WordPress subscriber database with encrypted passwords, is ludicrous. I am willing to donate to a plugin that does what I need it to NOW and that I want the developer to keep up to date; I’m not going to fund your future plans. This is WordPress, not Kickstarter.

Thanks, James.

I’m not clear however, as to whether I follow “Moving to a New Server” or “Moving Directories On Your Existing Server” because I’m not changing servers but I am changing the domain name and URLs. So does it follow that I treat this as if I’m moving to a new server?

Hi,
I’ve built the new site in a subdomain. I am almost ready to take it live.

I have a new question: once the old site is taken down and the subdomain becomes the new principle domain, what happens to all my internal links?

In other words: my site’s address is mademers.com. The new, not yet live, site is new.mademers.com. So all the media uploads, for example, have URLs that start with “https://new.mademers.com”. Once I take down the old site and move this from new.mademers.com to mademers.com, will my URLs update of their own accord or will I just break everything because the links will not update automatically?

Thanks.
