 * Simple question: my current blog is at [http://dailymisery.alvinwoon.com](http://dailymisery.alvinwoon.com)
   
   I want to move it to my main domain at htt://www.alvinwoon.com Any idea what’s
   the best way to do this. Anything can be fresh install, its ok for me but what’s
   the most important thing for me is to move all my previous postings archive to
   the main domain. * I did try to search by typing key words like ‘import /export
   wordpress’ but to no vail. Hope you guys wont mind passing the links if such 
   threads have been posted before* Bunch of thanks.

 * “Moving WordPress” would have been good keywords too! But at least you tried.
   
   [This wiki page](http://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_to_a_new_domain_/_server) 
   will help.

 * I tried following the link to the wiki page and was told that it contained no
   text. Seeing how I’m in the same boat, I’d appreciate either a working link to
   the wiki or an overview on how to do it.

 * To move your blog from one directory to another:
 * In Options, change BOTH urls to where the blog is going
    Then without doing anything
   else at all in the admin screens, use your ftp client or cpanel to actually move
   all the files Then you can return to admin and all should be well.
 * If you are moving the blog from one serve to another, or from another domain,
   there are some guides which may help here:

 * The Wiki is old, out of date, and technically worthless now. Someone really needs
   to redirect it to the new Codex. This would be the correct page: [http://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress](http://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress)

 * While I appreciate the information on the Moving_Wordpress page, is there any
   plugin (or other option I’ve missed) that would allow “importing from WordPress
   to WordPress”?
 * For instance, when moving a site to a completely new server, I’d like to just
   point at the old server and suck in all the old data. This also might simplify
   the process of upgrades —
 * 1) Install clean installation/database (often automated by hosting provider)
   
   2) copy in themes, plugins and ??? 3) Then just “import” all the content stored
   in the old database.
 * This is essentially the process described in the Codex for “Moving to a New Server
   with Fantastico” but with some automation in the database backup and restore 
   and the changes necessary – so I’m wondering if anyone has done that automation.
 * Thanks much!
