WordPress Move 1.2 – WordPress 3.3 Compatibility

2 Replies

For those who are wondering, WordPress Move 1.2 is fully compatible with the upcoming WordPress 3.3, so  you can keep using WordPress Move 1.2 after updating your installation.

    I think your plugin is great but it lacks one setting: the database prefix!

    My goal is to clone a wp site to another fresh wp installation not to just change domain name, but to create a clone site and then change only relevant contents and images, but mantaining all plugins and settings.
    So, at 99% of times, I use a different database prefix.

    I’ve tried a migration toward a new fresh 3.3 WP installation with different db prefix and your plugin correctly unserializes, changes and serializes again all data containing the old domain name, create backups and upload them to the new wp, but it uses the old db prefix and there’s no way to instruct the plugin to use the new one.

    Another thing I came across (but I made only one test) is that, even if I setted the correct path to the new wp site backup folder for your plugin, the backfiles was uploaded in the root folder, ie:

    new-site.com/DBBackup-13250069441.sql
    new-site.com/Backup-13250069451.zip

    So I moved manually those files to the right folder and then I completed the migration process.

    Let me know if you need more infos.

    PS: Hope my english is understandable!

      You are absolutely right, the database prefix should be specifically definable by the user. Thanks a lot for pointing this out, it would never come into my mind :) I will add an option to set the database prefix in the upcoming version.

      The path should be written by starting from the top directory that your FTP account has access to. Typing it wrong causes backup files to be transferred elsewhere so I’m not really happy how it works right now. Need to figure out a better way to do it :)

      Thanks a lot for sharing your experience and suggestions, much appreciated!
