    Is there anything I should be aware of when migrating a site with AIOWPS to a new host? What should have been a straightforward transfer isn’t working and just wondering if something with the advanced .htaccess rules from AIOWPS has something to do with it.

    When I say “isn’t working” I mean the site doesn’t show up nor can I get to the custom login page set by AIOWPS. It says “Error establishing a database connection.”

    Copied site files and database from old host to new. Same folder structure. Domain has successfully moved to new host as well.

    -Updated wp-config.php to reflect new db username, new db name.
    -Database shows no errors.
    -SiteURL and Home did not change. Domain is the same.

    The new host solved it. When the database transferred the new host chopped off one character of the db username. They updated the name and in the wp-config file (which I grabbed a local copy of for safekeeping) and we’re online.

    Hope this helps someone else.
