    To be honest I am guessing at the version, but perhaps it does not really matter …. 🙂

    I am trying to move WP from one host to another and following http://codex.ww.wp.xz.cn/Moving_WordPress#Moving_WordPress_to_a_New_Server.

    I have backed up tables to a SQL file and also copied down all files residing under www folder. I was unsure exactly which files I needed so took the whole lot – is that correct?

    I have setup a new installation on new hosting provider, so do I simply import tables and copy all files in WWW to same place?

    And then I am also supposed to edit wp-config.php with your new database/user information??!?

    That’s right.
    Upload all of the files on your new server.
    Update the wp-config.php with the new db/user info.
    Upload your db on your new server and if the url is the same, your good to go.

    If the url is different, then you will need to change all instances in the database.

    Coolio – also, what happens if the DB names are different? Any config to update?

    Something else …… so I imported DB_1 into DB_2. Am I supposed to be using the DB_2 Name and then the Username/Password from DB_1?
