      Hi all, I have moved a site made in wordpress from a domain (domain1.com) to a different one (domain2.com).

      I have created a new db and I have been forced to give to it a different name, because in my cpanel mysqldatabases you can create db using only a prefixed db name structure (such as namehosting_(empty field)).

      So from database nama namehosting1_wp, I have forced to create namehosting1_wp, changing parameters in wp_config.php I have also forced to change db user for the same reason.

      I have gone to phpmyadmin to import the sql database previously exported from domain2.com. It gives to me this message: #1044 - Access denied for user 'nameuser'@'localhost' to database 'information_schema'.

      It seems that I have not right privileges. Or should I follow some other procedures?

      Thanks and ciao Bob

        Hi,

        You could use something like Back up Buddy to migrate the site here

        There are plenty of guides from WordPress themselves here and a different approach by Yoast here

        Hope that points you in the right direction.

            Sorry if I have given the impression that moving a WordPress site is hard. It's fairly straight forward if you follow the instructions given.

              Hi, you have given right solutions and good stuff to read. But there are some issues in my hostings that I'm not able to solve also with this support. This is  a particular case. Don't mind and thanks for your support 🙂 Bob
