Hi Mike,

It can also be done using ftp, you basically have to download the whole site to your local PC and then upload it again to your new server. Of course back everything up before starting to make sure you can recover everything should something go wrong.

Thanks for the tips.

I am struggling to move wordpress site using cpanel details.

Normal sites are much easier to be moved across servers and wordpress site moving is causing me headache.

Hi there, I discovered your blog via Google at the same time as searching for a similar matter, your site came up, it looks great. I’ve bookmarked to my favourites|added to bookmarks.

Hi Simon, I have to be honest it is quite a while since I wrote this procedure and I have not had to move any blogs since. So my memory of the exact steps is a little bit hazy. I am pretty sure however that by copying the zipped files onto your new server i.e. all the blog structure and files that were on the original server, that you should not have to install WordPress separately, you effectively do that when you upload all the files and unzip them, then restore the database. The main thing to remember is to test everything is working properly before changing the named servers from your old server to the new one in case there is a problem, how to do that is detailed in the eBook..

Could you clarify something in this process? At what point should you install wordpress on the new host site? I’ve only ever done this using Fantastico, which creates its own database. Should I move the old database over first? Or replace the Fantastico database with my old database?
Thanks in advance…

Glad it helped you out, I found there were a lot of gaps in the information available for performing this task and decided to fill in the missing pieces as best I could. Sounds like I may have at least got it partly right.

You are very welcome, I think quite a few people have found this useful. It is relatively straight forward to move a WordPress blog using cpanel once you know everything that you need to do, it is finding all the different stages that is the tricky part.
