Migrating to a new server
-
I migrated a site from one server to another with a different hostname using this process:
1. copy files and adjust wp-config.php.
2. backup database
3. update the hostname in the database file
4. restore the database on the new serverI found that the Custom Sidebars plugin on the new server only had the original set of custom sidebars, not the ones that were created in the original site. I fixed this by recreating the custom sidebars and reassigning them to pages (as well as recreating the settings we had on the “Default Sidebars” tab). I checked and the values in the database seemed to be the same (sidebars_widgets and cs_sidebars in wp_options).
Is there something I need to do to get the Custom Sidebars settings to migrate to a new site? My production site is fine now but I use this process to update my test server.
Thanks!
