YES YES YES YES YES!!!!!!!

Thank you so much!! I’d buy you a beer if I could.

No I haven’t. I think I’m going to have them transfer the domain to me. This would make it much easier in the long run and hosting / maintenance would be on my end of things anyhow. One I have that I can migrate things over and do the launch like was mentioned above. The reason for this is I was trying to work with their host and kept getting blocked by their firewall.

I think I might do a trial run of this very problem with a test site to make sure I have the sequencing down for when I do it again.

Overall I was hoping for a simple fix but it seems that there really is none. For developers I wish there was a way to specify the expected domain in the settings for permalinks that way it would make migration easier. I did find a quick fix for updating image permalinks that were broken but I’m getting ready to do linkbuiding for a 60+ page site and don’t want to do that with the linker plugin until I know my permlinks are in their final place.

If I move the entire site over I believe I need to download the database and install it. However, 1) I’m not sure if this is supported on the server 2) Where would I put the database? or 3) Do I need to move the database or does it come with the wordpress files?

Thanks. I’m looking into that now.

okay. I like that. Now time to migrate it over. I tried this yesterday and was on the phone with tech support for hours trying to get it working again.

Probably the easiest way is to do a clean install on the new location and export the new site then import it into the new site. Though I’ve never done that. I’ve always used the builder in godaddy because it’s so easy.

because I’m still finalizing the design and he doesn’t want any “down time.” Though I might be misunderstanding you.

Yeah, that fixed the problem

Yeah I tried the fist 3. I settled on just deleting the entire package and restarting. I’m doing it right now.

Okay, I’ve figured out how to create a page of posts about a certain category but I still don’t get how to do that by tags. Or, is the pageofposts.php file the same for that. Do I just need to change the paramater from category to tag?

fixed it. It was a <div> issue. Just needed to make the div tags for the twenty-ten template I’m using. Okay thanks!

Okay, got that to work but there are not two columns. Now I just need to get the two column thing to work. Thinking if I just download the pages.php file and substitute the new code for the older code then rename the file pageofposts.com it should work.
