Transfer All Data from One Website to Another

[Paul]

Hello, I searched the forums and did not find anyone that had posted a question like this. I wanted to move all the data from my calendar from one website to a new website that I’ve already built. If I understand the concept correctly, I just use the WordPress Export feature under ‘Tools’ and export ‘Events’, then ‘Venues’, then ‘Organizers’ all separately, then in the new website use the import function to pull them in?

Please let me know if this will work, don’t want to screw anything up!

Hey Paul!

I just use the WordPress Export feature under ‘Tools’ and export ‘Events’, then ‘Venues’, then ‘Organizers’ all separately, then in the new website use the import function to pull them in?

Yes, in general this process should work.

You mention not wanting to screw anything up, which I totally relate to, so just one last note here: despite the likely success of using the WordPress import and export features, you should make a backup of your site regardless. There are many ways to make backups and it’s just generally a good safety measure to do before site migrations, or before installing or updating any plugin or theme on your site, etc.

I hope this information helps – let me know if there’s anything more I can help with! 🙂

Cheers,
George

Cool, best of luck with your migrations Gabriel.

As for you Paul, I hit upon the key points of your question here so I will close up this thread just to keep things organized – but if you have ANY other questions or concerns don’t hesitate to open up a new thread on these forums – share a link back to this thread if you need to refer to it.

Cheers 🙂
George
