Hi there I use a spare domain for trying out websites and plugins. A potential client of mine instructed someone else to build a site for him, so I went ahead and built my own version, which lo and behold is better than the one built by the other guy. Anyway, the client wants to go ahead with my version, so I was wondering whether there is an easy way to move the content and design from one wordpress installation to another on a different URL? Is it as sinple as copying the theme folder and pasting it into the new installation or is there more to it?
You can use the WordPress export/import function to move data from one site to another. Copying a design is easy. Using FTP, download your theme from wp-content/themes i.e. if your theme folder is called mytheme you would download all the files from www.mysite.com/wp-content/themes/mytheme. Then simply upload it to the other site and activate the theme.
Just to let you know, this worked a treat. The only thing I needed to do was alter the theme settings from the default ones it reverted to, to my own settings that I needed for the site. Cheers for your help!
