I though it was going to be easy but it really isn't, not for me.
Looked at the WP Codex on Migration but, while it's very valuable info, not that comprehensive about all the things that can happen in-between.
I changed my Godaddy hosting to a multi-domain, shared plan. I am planing 3-4 WP websites there, no more.
So WP admin username and pass, CPanel pass, install folder, all have changed, for this single one WP installation I was working on.
I do have a copy of my whole old WP install folder and a copy of the SQL exported database. There's about 2 weeks of my own tests, post, tweaks in there that I would like to recover.
My attempts:
1. I overwrote the new WP install with the old one - of course a fail.
2. Tried to add my DB through PHP MyAdmin - fail due to old and new pass and user clash.
3. I can edit the new wp_config but the passwords are encrypted.
So it looks to me that:
I have to manipulate the DB to reflect the new location.
I have to solve the old/new credentials problem.
I still feel like I am only scratching the surface of the problem I am in, and I might be better letting go and starting all over.
Can you please help me ? I want to do it, one step at a time.
