Moving bbpress/WordPress to a new server
-
I thought I would easily move my bbpress (version 2.6.13) / WordPress (version 6.8.1) installation from one server to another by copying all the files and exporting/importing the sql database file and adjusting wp-config.php.
However after moving everything over I can access the new WP installation, see all the plugins from before (all deactivated), but cannot see or import the bbPress forum.
I activated the bbPress plugin but don’t see any of my previous forum names listed.
In the WordPress Admin dashboard, I went to Tools, Import forums, put in the database settings (platform bbpress1) and clicked import, but it immediately stops on step 1.
Since most of the articles in this forum about moving servers is 10 to 15 years old. Maybe a refresh of an overview on how to do it today would be helpful. If anyone can throw in some ideas, I would appreciate it.
