 * Hello to everybody!
 * I have a WordPress website I would like to move from my local machine to a webhost.
   I have tried following the codex article about this:
    [https://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress](https://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress)
 * One thing I am struggling with, and the article is not saying much about this,
   is what are the things I need to search and replace in the database? I have set
   up the Search and Replace for WordPress Databases Script, but I don’t know what
   entries I should change… Any advice is warmly welcome!
 * Thank you!

 * You might want to use a tool called backupbuddy that will rewrite the database
   for your during migration. It is a tool from ithemes that we use to migrate sites
   all the time.
