I’m going to be moving my site – uses Newspaper – from one hosting setup to an entirely new server provided by another company. The domain will remain the same.
I notice that the theme ‘phones home’ or uses some sort of server specific ID code. Questions:
* Does this mean that the theme will fail when I try and run the site on the new server (having transferred it using Duplicator with settings retained) or
* Will it deactivate and then not reactivate or
* Will it deactivate and I’ll be able to reactivate it but it’ll ‘walk all over the changes I made in the Newspaper Child Theme
If so, given that I am maintaining my single license use (I’m not using it twice) how do I transfer the site and theme over
Many thanks

I prefered dont use migration plugins 😛
Manual migration:
Just download a full backup from your actual server and backup your database.
Create a new database on new server, create an user. enter on database and import sql file (old database).
Upload all the site backup folder via ftp in the new server
open wp-config.php and remplace DB name and DB user. Save changues.
Finally just changue your dns to the new server and wait some minuts.
Done 🙂
Btw. you dont need made reactivation newspaper or something like that
Hi,
The theme will not deactivate while migrating, the registration data is kept in the database. Something like that may happen only if the database is altered in the process.
Thank you!
