    I was using my computer as a server to build a WordPress site. I wanted to move my WordPress site to a new server. I exported my local server WordPress and imported into the new server. However, not all of my customization imported. One being my online store. Any thought on how I can make all my customizations import over?

    t-p,

    I read through that before I did my export and import but I didn’t feel comfortable doing it. I was looking at the one that says if you don’t care if the old blog works. I was unclear about how to find some of the config file stuff.

    Step 1 – I think I know my DB name and DB user. Not total sure about the DB password and host name. Why do you change the config file on the OLD files stuff or do I make the copy and then change the config on the old one that is still working?

    Step 2 – I know the URL to point it to the new site.

    I hate to sound pathetic – but I would really like someone walk me through it – is this possible – I know it possible but is it safe?

    I tried the instructions above given by t-p and when I import the database into my new server I get the error below. I have checked the password. Can someone please do a screen sharing session and help me?

    MySQL said: Documentation
    #1044 – Access denied for user ‘scottsvw’@’localhost’ to database ‘wordpress’

    And of course just like the instruction said my OLD wordpress site won’t work.

    I am so frustrated!

    I guess frustration helps – my problem wasn’t in the importing part – I was exporting wrong. But after many days and hours – I finally transferred my database to my new server!!! Now to get my URL pointing to the right server – but I have done that before!!!
