• Hi,

    I’m transfering a website to another domain. I kept the original database and I imported it via phpMyAdmin. I didn’t upload the plugin of the original site yet.

    I go to the new website for tests, but I see no articles or pages transfered, as if I did nothing.

    What must I do ?

    First, open phpMyAdmin for the new website and confirm that it displays your database name along with tables such as wp_posts, wp_users, wp_options, etc. If these are missing, the database import likely failed.

    If the tables are present, then check your site’s wp-config.php file to ensure the DB_NAME, DB_USER, DB_PASSWORD, and DB_HOST values are correctly set to match your new database credentials.

    Firstly I checked the database. The transfer worked well. But I found the following tables:

    wp3c_options
    wp3c_posts
    wp3c_users

    wpo7_options
    wpo7_posts
    wpo7_users

    I’m going to cancel some tables.

    Apparently the database uses its own prefix for the tables. WordPress uses wp_ here, but this can be adjusted in wp-config.php.

    Since you apparently also have 2 different prefixes, you need to check which of them come from your source site. You can check this, for example, by looking at the original website in wp-config.php and checking the prefix there. You must then also enter this in your target page.

    I’m also a little surprised why you are going this manual route. There are many plugins that make such a move easier and take such work off your hands. You can find examples here: https://ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/tags/migration/

    There are also instructions for relocations here, which also refer to the prefixes: https://developer.ww.wp.xz.cn/advanced-administration/upgrade/migrating/
