Move site to another wordpress domain on your account

  • Unknown's avatar

    Lets say I have an active blog named ‘OLD’ and another named ‘NEW’. I want to move NEW to OLD and destroy NEW. The only method i could find was to export NEW and import to OLD. While the content came in, the theme and other settings did not. Also when i load OLD the admin page freezes on load. If I load NEW then change over to OLD, the admin page works fine…. Any ideas?

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    The stats page hanging issue was resolved by changing themes.

    I still need to migrate the stats history such as views and likes from the old site to the new site…

    OLD SITE: arctelixblog.wordpress.com
    NEW SITE: arctelix.wordpress.com

  • @arctelix interesting! I’m glad switching the theme fixed it.

    I’ve migrated your stats for you. You’ll also want to be sure all media was properly migrated, and double check your posts to fix any links. Let us know if you need more help!

    @supernovia thanks for taking a look at both issues!

    I checked the new blog arctelix.wordpress.com and it appears that favorites have not migrated. I only have one :(

    On the old blog “Django + Bower + Heroku, It’s not so complicated” has one favorite and on the new blog the same post does not..

    Could you migrate that for me?

  • “favorites have not migrated. I only have one :(“

    I’m not sure what you mean. Can you clarify?

    I’m sorry, LIKEs not favorites.

    On the old blog one of my posts called “Django + Bower + Heroku, It’s not so complicated” has one LIKE on October 3rd and on the new blog the same post does not have any likes. Can you move the like attached to the old post to the new post?

  • Ah, we are not able to migrate likes. Sorry about that.
