 * First, I can’t use multisite as this is for different clients with different 
   hosts. I am doing several church websites. I have setup a “perfect” site. I want
   to copy the files and mysql database to the new sites – I know how to do that.
   My question is, what do I have to change in each setup so that the site works.
   The domain name and hosting has changed for each site, so I am sure I have to
   make modifications to the MySql database – what would those be? Also, do I need
   to make any changes to the files? Also, I am just talking about the structure,
   plugins, theme, etc. I do not need to transfer any posts or pages. However, I
   do have a clean site with no posts or pages if that helps. Here is what I know:
 * Change the info in the config file.
 * That’s about it.
 * Any help would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks,
 * Drew

 * Hi AtlantisLabs,
 * Having the clean site with no posts and pages is a real life saver here. I would
   still recommend exporting the database because you may have plugins installed
   that have modified the database structure (added tables or fields to tables).
 * I would recommend treating this like any server to server move of WordPress.

 * You’ll also want to change the Site URL to the correct domain name:
 * [http://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_The_Site_URL](http://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_The_Site_URL)
 * That should be everything you need to do. Hope this helps!
