Hi,

I have setup the Newspaper theme in a protected folder “mydomain.com/test” for testing purpose. Now I want to move the whole WordPress installation to another folder. My first approach was to manually (with a script) change all paths in the database to the new folder location. This worked fine except that all Newspaper theme settings got lost (I think it has something to do with the Newspaper license activation).
The second approach was to export the original Newspaper theme settings (https://forum.tagdiv.com/import-export-theme-settings/), activate the theme, and import the settings into the new folder installation. But here all image paths (e.g. icons) point to the old folder. So, the only way to fix the image paths is again to alter the database? Or is there a better way to move a WordPress installation with the Newspaper theme to a new folder?

Regards,

Hello hendrix,

So, if you want to move/migrate your website to another one, you need to use the WP Duplicator plugin like this website here -> https://www.elegantthemes.com/blog/tips-tricks/duplicator-an-easy-way-to-back-up-copy-or-clone-your-wordpress-content This plugin is recommended by many users when migrating or creating copies of the website.

Hope this helps!

Thanks for the message!
