Reply To: Moving bbpress/WordPress to a new server
This migration process not for the faint of heart! I was never able to complete successfully. I did learn a few things tho.
- Pare down and disable as many plugins as possible before migrating. (especially optimize and cache ones).
- Be ready to disable the entire plugin directory in order to log into site.
- Realize that the activity of uploading files, importing a database, changing configurations, and adjusting dns, can spike shared server resources, leading to unstable and throttled-down results.
- Revel in the miracle of a nicely integrated bbPress/Wordpress install and always take time to break, inhale a deep breath, and appreciate the majesty of life
