hi

is it possible to migrate to a different directory on my server, before redirecting my domain to that other directory?

thx!

see notes about migration and migration tools in the forum, your links and images in content are all hard coded so a script had to be ran to fix it up.

thx, but what images and content?

i did the migration before redirecting the domain, went flawlessly.
i disabled pretty urls before migrating, and then re-enabled after-- not sure if that's necessary.

thx!

in your pages they are hardcoded to full domain and path

hrm, i just deleted the files where the domain used to point. 

Now, some images are missing on the new site. 
ie, there are links pointing images in the old folder  

i installed GSCkeRelativeUrls, but that did not fix it. 


is your manual search-and-replace the only fix?


thx!

Here's one of the migration tools available: http://get-simple.info/forums/showthread.php?tid=5061

Other migration plugins:

Note that "Fix Site URL" and other plugins do the replacements AFTER migrating (sorry, I read the thread subject too quickly)

if you have a text editor with a find and replace in files
replace all old url with new url in pages\ folder .xml files
