Moving Wordpress from Test to Prod Server

Moving your Word Press application from your test hosted server to your local WAMP server.

Move the word press root directory from your test server to your production server. You will move all of the files on the server. If you used the default WAMP install then you will move these files to "c:\wamp\www".

After you receive your MySQL dump file, you will open it and edit two items before loading it into the database. In the wp_options table inserts section you will find a siteurl insert and a home insert. Both of these records will point to your test server name and should be changed at this time to your production server name. The simplest way to do this is with a mass replace. "Ctrl+R" Test Server name to Production Server Name.

At this point in time you will be ready to import you Word Press database into the production database server.
