Hi

 

I'm trying to move a Wordpress site to another domain on the same host.

 

Do I need to install Wordpress on the new domain before I use X Cloner for the backup and clone?

No need to install wordpress, just create a new database and follow the XCloner restore procedure...

 

Hope it helps! Ovidiu

Hi

Ok I'm going to try and follow this!

I've downloaded the TAR.php and XCloner.php to my pc but not sure about the actual back up file. I've saved the back up to my pc from the X Cloner plugin and I now have a Zip file sat there.

I've created a new directory using my FTP for the new domain I want to upload all the files to.

Do I upload the back up file as a Zip file along with the Tar and X Cloner.php files?

Yes, simply upload the backup archive file along with the restore script and start the XCloner.php restore script in your browser....

 

Regards, Ovidiu

Sorry for sounding dumb on this!

 

Do you mean upload the full backup file as a ZIP folder with all the contents by FTP to the new site?

Yes, upload the backup archive file as is, without extracting or compressing it to another format....

Hi

Tried all methods now including manual install and I still get the following error when I run theX Cloner.php script!

Coul;d it be something to do with my host (Bluehost) or write privelidges on the server?

Please check your site error log, you should have more details on that 500 error there!
