[wp-hackers] Website transfering

[Rafael Ehlers]

Just found and replace wont work because of the serialized arrays:

1. Export your local DB
2. Upload your files to online FTP
3. Import your DB online
4. Upload this script to the root of your WP installation
http://interconnectit.com/124/search-and-replace-for-wordpress-databases/
5. Run this search and replace script (
http://www.domain.com/searchreplaceDB.php)
6. Check if you have permissions to write on your root (.htaccess)
6. Log in your wp-admin
7. Resave (regenerate) your permalinks
8. Test your site, must be working properly

I do this all the times, an it's perfect.

ps.: Looks like they have updated the searchreplace script, haven't tested
it yet.

Best regards,
