Thanks Yan…I was missing one little step which was the edit wp-config piece. After updating that everything went across seemlessly and my blog is back up and running perfectly and using a much cheaper hosting site as well.

Hi! Thank you so much for your tutorial here. It’s a life saver! I was able to migrate a few of the blogs I look after. I’m not very techy but I understand a bit since learning wordpress about 2 years ago. I used to be scared of touching the phpMyAdmin part but after a few unsuccessful attempts with the WP Import-Export, I thought I should learn how to migrate using phpMyAdmin. Thank you so much!

This is an excellent guide for the most part. My only suggestion has to do with the permanent link destinations. I found that after transferring my blog according to your guide, everything looked okay, but post URLs were still pointing to the old URL. An excellent fix for this is located here: http://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_The_Site_URL.

Thanks much for the help. Lifesaver.

Hey Colin,

Thanks for dropping by. I automate the process of backing up my blog using WP Database Backup and have it set to email me on a weekly basis. Everything works behind the scene.

I’d strongly recommend it to you if you haven’t had one for your blog.

PS: Colin, what do you say if you grab yourself a Gravatar?

Great tutorial Yan. Thanks to Cormac Moylan too for the inspiration. This definitely may come in handy some day. Do you reckon that performing step 1 on a regular basis is the best way to backup your blog entries? No doubt there are probably plug-ins which automate backups.
