Moving site from one domain to another

  • Hello!

    I created a new directory speak-visual.com in my ftp client and copied all files that exist in the https://www.graphicwhispers.com directory.

    For some reason I get this Fatal error: Call to undefined function get_post_format_slugs() in /home/oledon2/speak-visual.com/wp-includes/theme.php on line 1262.

    The new site isn’t working yet, so I don’t want to change url in WordPress->General settings, like i did before and my old site disappeared…

    Thank you!

    Now I changed details to the new database name and new user, and new password – and it’s still showing errors.

    My new database is empty – When I tried to import the graphicwhispers database for some reason access was denied and nothing imported ??

    Please could you tell me if I can use details of old domain in the wp-config of the new one?

    Thank you in advance!

    Hi Eli,

    your webhosting support could help you with access to your database.

    That is where I would start (to ensure that the import can succeed)

    And remember always backup before moving your website.
