I have been planning to move to a new domain a few months back but decided against it because I thought that it would be to troublesome. Fortunately, I was wrong (sometimes, I just love being wrong).<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s a bit of history. I have set up a WordPress blog for a client on a production server. When everything was in order and the client approved the design, I didn&#8217;t think twice about moving the site to its permanent domain. I didn&#8217;t make any backup of the files and database. After uploading all the files and importing the database, I got a warning that I need to upgrade my database. Poof! It was like magic. All my pages became posts and the layout broke.\u00a0 In short, I had to redo everything. This was the main reason that I was adamant about moving my blog.<\/p>\n<p>For those of you who wants to move your blog to a new domain or folder, you can visit WordPress&#8217; page about <a title=\"Moving WordPress to a New Location\" href=\"http:\/\/codex.wordpress.org\/Moving_WordPress\">moving WordPress<\/a>.
