I developed the Corona theme in a subdirectory of my own website. Now I am trying to transfer it to its own domain name. I've done this same process with Elegant Themes themes many times, and the most data that gets lost is a widget or two. This time, I believe that all the information stored in the Theme Options was reset, even though the options still seem to be selected. I exported the mySQL database files of course, and I replaced all the previous URLs with the new ones. I even tried re-saving all the theme options and pages, hoping it would help (like re-saving permalinks). Any information would be great. I am supposed to have the site up by the morning. I should have left more time, but I've done this so many times before. If it's not wordpress 3.3, maybe it's something with the theme, and i'd love your help. thanks

oh, and details include: layouts i selected aren't there, custom templates aren't being displayed, logo isn't being displayed, custom menus aren't working, all my widgets are missing, etc. etc. thanks!

Hey,
we know that some servers cause problems when you try to move the theme settings/dynamic template data. We couldn't reproduce the problem yet but we investigate it. You can reset the theme settings (but you need to configure the all options/dynamic templates again) or you can try plugins like: http://pluginbuddy.com/purchase/backupbuddy/ or http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/xcloner-backup-and-restore/ or http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/backupwordpress/ - users reported that these plugins restore the database without problems.

Ok. I tried backupwordpress plugin, but it only gave me an XML file, so I tried Xcloner to get an SQL file. I cleared the database and imported it, but it didn't fix much, if anything. Some of my style rules have even been removed, which might be due to some div or span tags not making it through. It's a frustrating process, especially because I paid for your theme out of pocket because i was so excited about it (i didn't charge the client for it), and she's a challenging client in general, so it's an icing on the cake scenario. I can't purchase BackupBuddy at this time, but any other suggestions you have would be much appreciated. I'm going to take a few minute nap, and hope that you have a killer tip when I wake up. If not, at least I have the other site to work from. Thanks for your help. The response time in your forums has been great.

Here's an idea: are certain theme options stored in a way that uses the file path or URL in pieces or chunks? so instead of http://www.etcetc.com/wp-content, or http://<?php bloginfo(template_url) ?>/css/style.css, it's like this: etcetcetc.com/logo.png?

Not in a way of promoting anything or advertise, but i just share what i`ve test.

From time to time, i`ve faced the need to transfer one WP to another host, or to another folder, or just to another datacenter.
Each time i face some problems, either the full disaster in the process of transferring, either just some part of the data is lost somewhere\somehow.

Until one day, i`ve spent 50 bucks (with a discount promo code which you can easily find in Google) i just bought BackupBaddy plugin.

My first full WP migration with it takes like 15 mins (while i was trying to get into the setting\migration steps (which are very simple and clear).

After that, i migrate the blog of friend of mine from one server folder to another - and spent like 4-5 mins on whole process.
Guys, believe me, buy that plugin once, and it will save you lots of nerves and time.

Yeas, that all may sound like a marketing post (admin may delete if they want), but im just a regular Kriesi themes user, who fuck`ed up a dozens of time with server\ftp\domain migration a few times, and the user who nor forget about all these issues.

My last migration was with one of my website (Corona engine). I migrate it from one server to another. I`ve changed FTP folders settings, but the domain name stays the same. All the process takes less then 10 mins for me. And i can do such migration like 100 times a day with my eyes closed. And none Corona settings were lost during the migration. Neither some files\pictures was corrupted.

Hi!

Just a small correction. The plugin is called "BackupBuddy" :)

Its not 75. I find discounts coupon on the Goggle, and the final prize was 52 bucks.

And nop, i dont have any other reasonable solution, because im pretty lame in all those admin\MySQL\PHP mumbo-jumbo.

Is that possible to make a proper WP migration\transfer without any plugins? Sure, its possible.
With some knowledge, with proper server(access privileges\rights), with proper skill. With some practice and a waste of time.
Sure its doable.
