All Good Things Must Come To An End

As you all know, I have been doing WordPress plugins and supporting it for the past 6 years. These 6 years of my life, I have been through my polytechnic education, my national service as well as my university education.

I just graduated from university in December 2009 and have been looking for full-time jobs. I am offered a full-time job and will be starting work on 1st February 2010.

I regret to say that I am NOT ABLE to provide support for my plugins anymore due to my full-time job commitment. I will leave this forum open and let the community help one another.

However, I WILL still update my plugins whenever I can and you still can report bugs to me via email and I will try to fix it.

Move to a new database, same server/domain?
« on: 07 August 2009, 12:03 »
Apologies if this is a dumb question. I'm a fairly experienced WP user but know little about SQL, beyond basic set-up etc.

I've been using DBManager for a while. I'm having problems with a database and would like to move my WP blog to another database. This is on the same server. I will be using the same URL.

If I backup my current DB, change wp-config.php to the new database and re-upload, I assume my blog will be completely empty (or will it present the 'new install' page?).

If I then restore my database, will it work out of the box? Or does the DBManager save information that is relevant only to the previous database, which will then mean it won't work on the new one?

Thanks for any help Lester. Cheers.

Or would this likely work better if I installed the backup on a clean WP install?

It will work out of the box, it does not store anything related to your previous database information.
