This article summarizes the WordPress moving and changing domain name tutorials. Generally speaking, the steps for website moving are as follows:

There are 3 situations in which WordPress website moves
- 1. Change the space, not the domain name
- 2. Change the domain name without changing the space
- 3. Change the domain name, also change the space
XNUMX. Backup blog website files and databases
1) Download and backup the blog file in the original space:
- If the original space supports online decompression, it is recommended to pack and download, so that the download size becomes smaller and time will be saved a lot.
- (I basically use FTP to synchronize and backup to the local if I have any article updates. It is best for everyone to have this habit, otherwise the sudden accident will make you regret it!)
2) Backup the database:
- able to passphpMyAdmin, Empire Backup King, or a database backup plug-in like WP-DBManager, you can choose a method that you are familiar with.

XNUMX. Upload the blog file and import the database
1) Use FTP to transfer the blog files to the new space, just like downloading, if the new space supports online decompression, it is recommended to package and upload, which saves a lot of time and traffic.
- Usually the WordPress directory is under public_html/, so just upload the files in the public_html/ directory to the public_html/ of the new host.
2) Import database: PHPMyAdmin, Empire Backup King can do it.
- You need to create a database in the new host, and then import the database you exported earlier.
3) Use via SSH MySQL Database Import Command ▼
XNUMX. Modify the website configuration and database (key)
1) Modify the wp-config file, it is best not to use Notepad to modify it, use an editor such as notepad++ or UltraEdit, and put theMySQL databaseThe information is changed to the database information of your new space, as follows:
/** WordPress 数据库的名称 */
define('DB_NAME', '你的新空间数据库名称');
/** MySQL 数据库用户名 */
define('DB_USER', '你的数据库用户名');
/** MySQL 数据库密码 */
define('DB_PASSWORD', '你的数据库登录密码');
/** MySQL 主机 */
define('DB_HOST', '你的数据库地址');Fill in the database name, database username and password of your new host space.Note that the MySQL host is 'localhost' by default. If you are a Windows host, do not modify it. If it isLinuxHost, you may need to fill in the address of the database.
2) Enter phpMyAdmin in the new space to modify the database: modify the values of the "siteurl" and "home" fields in the database table wp_options and change them to your new domain name address;
3) Log in to the domain name server (for example: DNSPOD), and resolve the domain name to the IP address of the new space.
4) Log in to the hosting control panel and add a domain name.
- How toCWP Control PanelAdd a domain name?Please see the following tutorial ▼
Replace the server path and domain name
Install WP Migrate DB plugin ▼
- Suitable for website moving (can replace the server path)
- Replace keywords with your database and export as MySQL database
- Use the "Find & Replace" function to quickly replace the server path and domain name
phpMyAdmin modify server path and domain name
- if you useWP Migrate DBPlugin that exports a MySQL database file with the server path and domain name replaced.
- Just in phpMyAdmin, click your database name → click "Import" to import it directly (you can easily skip the replacement steps below).
first step:In phpMyAdmin, click the name of the database you want to modify.
The second step:Then, click Search.
third step:Search old paths
- Replace the old web space path (folder address) with the new path
- Old folder path: /home/abc/public_html/site/etUFO.org /
- New folder path: /data/abc/etUFO.org /
the fourth step:Search old domains
Old domain name: http://www.ufo.org.in
New domain name:http://www.etufo.org
Find the search results as shown below:
- There are links or pictures in the original article, and the addresses of the previous domain names are used, so those addresses need to be modified.
the fifth step: Left-click "Browse";
In this way, when the new window is opened, the lower part will automatically jump to the field position (automatic filtering, showing which field the keyword is in).
Note: The website space path (folder address) should also be replaced. Please search and replace by yourself according to your own situation.
For example, in phpMyAdmin, execute the following statement:
UPDATE wp_options SET option_value = REPLACE(option_value,'旧地址','新地址'); UPDATE wp_posts SET post_content = replace (post_content,'旧地址','新地址'); UPDATE wp_posts SET post_excerpt = replace (post_excerpt,'旧地址','新地址'); UPDATE wp_posts SET guid = replace (guid, '旧地址','新地址');
SQL statement description:UPDATE data table name SET field = replace (field, 'old address', 'new address');
Fourth, change the new domain name
If you need to change a new domain name, please follow it. If you do not change the domain name, please skip this step.
- The original domain name is 301 redirected to the new domain name → change the database content.
Do a 301 redirect:
- The purpose of 301 redirection is to make the content indexed by the original search engine turn to the new domain name. There are many ways to achieve it.
If you are using a Linux+Apache host, you can choose to modify the .htaccess file and insert the following code in this file:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} www.ufo.org.in
RewriteRule ^(.*) https://www.etufo.org/$1 [L,R=301]As above, the old domain name is http://www.ufo.org.in, the new domain name is http://www.etufo.org
Or, if your user is a Windows host (not recommended, because the Windows host is fully compatible with WordPress), you can choose to modify the wp-blog-header.php in the root directory of the WordPress blog, in
if (strtolower($_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'])!=’原域名’)
{
$URIRedirect=$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
if(strtolower($URIRedirect)==’/index.php’) {
$URIRedirect=’/’;
}
header(‘HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently’);
header(‘Location:http://新域名’.$URIRedirect);
exit();
}XNUMX. Check the transfer results
Take a moment and check the website front desk for errors?
- Check the website background plug-ins and theme settings one by one, which can reduce various losses caused by errors on your website.
- For example, some data of the keywordlink automatic anchor text plug-in will be automatically cleared, and only the previously backed up keywordlink automatic anchor text plug-in will be imported.
