Backup And Restore your DB using phpmyadmin , upload the files to new vps , change ur config.php accordingly.
thats it :)
 
hi everything is going fine just 1 problem when ever i try to Import the Old Database into New Database, it dost overwrite it, i makes a complete new entry of new database in phpmyadmin and when i check in sql databases i just can the new database (empty) what should i do ???
 
Make a new database in the new host, go to phpadmin and import it IN that new database. Then, via an FTP client, find wp-config.php in the root of wordpress and edit it with the new database info.
 
Well, you're doing something wrong. You sure you edited the wp-config with the new database info? the one you imported the old one in?
 
ya i did and thats why i guess site is starting like a fresh website.. :( when i import the old database into new one, it dosn't change anything in the new database when i open it, it shows nothing in it i don't know whats going on X_X and lol i have 2 more Wordpress sites to shift X_X
 
Tried a full backup/restore? I'm sorry, but moving wordpress is so simple, you just have to follow the steps very carefully. If you can't do that, try asking your host to move your website, or pay someone.
 
hey what do u mean by ***the one you imported the old one in?*** ??? Here what i did step by step

1. uploaded all of the old website files to new VPS
2. made a sql database in new VPS
3. then i opened that new database and imported old database file into new database
4. edited the old wp-config.php file DBname DBuser password to new database

i guess that's all, right ????
