Moving this wordpress url and domain

I am looking to move this wiki to a location within davelevy.info. Here are my notes.


In 2025, I had to move the deptford.red instance, I had to use SQL and documented my process at moving this wordpress url and domain

In 2019, I said, I think I need to

  1. Prove the proposed location is findable and not blocked by the master wordpress instance.
  2. Reset the URL parameters on the Settings – General Page
  3. cpio the installation directory to the new location
  4. test it works and there is no conflict with tags or date queries
  5. delete the old installation directory
  6. make a .htaccess file
  7. 5 & 6 could also be implemented by making a new directory with the .htaccess file and pointing the dns record to the new directory

I found this to help me,
