    Hi Guys.
    I am moving my geodirectory site to a new sub-domain, I have read some of the posts written on the topic and would like to clarify some info for myself.
    I have moved all my licenses and GD is working including the Google API.
    All current listings need to be moved and from what I understand, I have to export categories, listings and images and then re-import them to the new site. Libreoffice was downloaded and activated based on recommendations, so that box can be ticked.
    Is there an easy way to do the export and import or is it going to go hand in hand with loads of changes to the columns in the CSV files? Is it not possible to just copy and paste some ftp files?

    My imports into the new site keeps on saying
    “177 / 177 item(s) could not be added due to blank title/invalid post type/invalid characters used in data.”

    Kind Regards
    Carel

    If you are moving the whole site, review https://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress
    I am guessing you are not moving but copying, and probably want the rest of your site to stay at the main domain, and only GD to be on the subdomain?

    Copy all files to the new folder of your subdomain.
    Duplicate your database: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/16481083/how-can-i-duplicate-a-database-using-phpmyadmin
    Edit wp-config.php with the new database name, user and password.
    In the copied database, change in wp-options table, the siteurl and home, see image.
    Log in to wp-admin
    Then change all URLs: https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/useful-plugins/#bsr
    Change plugins etc on both sites as required.
