How to transfer all my events to a new server?

[Banafsheh]

I am planing to change my hosting company. How do I copy/export ALL my events, category of events, etc… to the new server before changing the DNS setting? Is there an Export option to export all events/categories/slugs to a file and then importing them to the new server after DNS pointing is completed? Which files and folders on my current server hold all events? Thank you

Hey Banafsheh,

Thanks for reaching out! Great question!

If you want to move you whole site as it is, then one thing to consider would be migrating the whole. There are several plugins for this which can help you do that. The process is basically doing a full backup of your site (files and database) and uploading it to the new place.

If you only want to move your events, then the export option in your Dashboard under Tools > Export will be your tool. This will generate XML files for you, which you can import then in your new site.

Don’t forget to export / import all that you might need for your events, like

• Ticket Fieldsets
• RSVP Tickets
• Attendees
• Venues
• Organizers
• Events
• Aggregator Records
• Media files

Let me know if this helps.

Cheers,
Andras
