I’ve set up a wordpress website on one of our domain names on our dedicated server for testing purposed.
The wordpress site is working brilliant, so now I want to move the wordpress site to another domain name which is also hosted on our dedicated server.
Is it as simple as copying the root folder contents that the wordpress site is currently on … and then pasting that content into the root folder of the other domain name?
So just to make things clearer – I want to move the wordpress site from:
Domainname.com to otherdomainname.com
(both domains are hosted on the same server).
… or are there complications involved?
Yes, it should be that simple – or you can just repoint the domains, which is personally what I would do.
Basically yes. Backup your contents with the export feature in the Tools section first. Also keep an eye on the wp-config.php. If you didn’t hardcode any template links, you should be fine.
