Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Very helpful Robert. Thank you and ciao. Bob

I have moved he site from a server to another one, changing the domain name. The page names are the same, so in every urls you will have only a differnce in the domain name not in the rest of url.

I would like to use rewriterule in the htaccess file to tell to everyone, especially to search engines, that I have now new urls.

I have found this code, but I'm not sure it could be the right one in my case

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ http://nuovodominio/$1 [R=301]

Thanks to anyone could help me. Ciao, bob

Hi, you have given right solutions and good stuff to read. But there are some issues in my hostings that I'm not able to solve also with this support. This is  a particular case. Don't mind and thanks for your support Bob

Thanks CodingStuff for your good reply and material you have given to me. I have understood that this moving is not so simple. Ciao. Bob

Hi all, I have moved a site made in wordpress from a domain (domain1.com) to a different one (domain2.com).

I have created a new db and I have been forced to give to it a different name, because in my cpanel mysqldatabases you can create db using only a prefixed db name structure (such as namehosting_(empty field)).

So from database nama namehosting1_wp, I have forced to create namehosting1_wp, changing parameters in wp_config.php I have also forced to change db user for the same reason.

I have gone to phpmyadmin to import the sql database previously exported from domain2.com. It gives to me this message: #1044 - Access denied for user 'nameuser'@'localhost' to database 'information_schema'.

It seems that I have not right privileges. Or should I follow some other procedures?

Thanks and ciao Bob

Many thanks to Colin and a special mention for lbi-tr: I have never seen before such reply and I have remained astonished Both of you have given to me lot of good information and references. Ciao!

Hi all,

I need to change domain name to a website published on wordpress. I'd think to make these steps:

1. trasferring the website (files+db) to a new hosting space

2. to redirect old site (www.oldsite.com) to the new one (www.newsite.com) using rewrite rules.

With these steps I'd need to transfer and reinstall files and wordpress so I would like to discover if there's some less time expending procedure to consider.

Thanks and ciao

Bob
