Content migration

Posted in: Newspaper

Hello, currently we have the following task:
It is planned to transfer the old site with GBs of articles and images to your platform.
Of course, the theme should be customized and finalized before.
I thought of doing this by simply moving the following tables from the old database to the new:

wp_commentmeta
wp_comments
wp_postmeta
wp_posts
wp_terms
wp_term_relationships
wp_term_taxonomy

However, after some experiments it turned out that the design is not fully preserved after the transfer.
I tried to solve the problem by exporting / importing the pages “Home” and “Footer” after tables exchange.
In any case, something is lost. Header for example.

Can you please suggest the best way to resolve this problem.
How I can store all of my theme’s customizatoins to deploy it after again?

Hello,

From what I know you can migrate the website to another website using some plugins, in this way your website will migrate will all content and templates.

But in order to migrate from a theme to another one it maybe necessary to make some adjusts, unfortunately these are not cover by the theme support these can be made only with custom work .

Thank you for your understanding!
