    Hi,
    A friend wants to buy one of my sites and wants me to move it from my host to his, and also change the URL. Is this possible? How would i go about achieving this?

    tia,
    Daz

    You need to review Moving_WordPress.

    Thanks Esmi, i did read through that, but it doesn’t explain in detail how to move the database. I assume i just export & import using myphpadmin, then run through that Online WordPress Serialized PHP Search and Replace??

    You need to run the search & replace on a copy of the exported db backup before you import it into the new site.

    ok, tried that & get an error, there are no databases setup on the new host, do i need to create a database first & import into that?

    SQL query:

    —
    — Table structure for table wp_commentmeta
    —

    DROP TABLE IF EXISTS wp_commentmeta;
    MySQL said: Documentation

    #1046 – No database selected
