Hi,
a wordpress test installation on a subdomain is ready. It should go live now and replace a static old site (without database)
on the same server.
The actual situation on my hoster is this:
static-site .com --> folder "/public", containing the old, but still active static site (no Wordpress/database)
test/static-site .com --> folder "/name", containing the new Wordpress site
static-site .de should now display the new wordpress site.
At the moment my account is limited to one database, so the usual "real" migration by moving WP to another location on the same server, which also has a database, is not possible. WP describes this usual way of migration here:
[
codex.wordpress.org...]
However there may be a good alternate way by just changing the domain settings in my hosting account, i.e., let static-site .de point to folder "/name"?
1. Changing domain settings as described
2. Changing site URL and WP URL in General Settings in Wordpress
3. Adjusting database URLs and paths by using any reliable plugin, like [
wordpress.org...]
Hard to find information about this simple way, but it should work smoothly. Will I have to reset the permalinks or consider any further tips, which the WP codex recommends?
What do you think, any experiences?
