Good day all, am a first-timer on Boldgrid and am enjoying the package, please i have a question on importing the test website to purchased domain and hosting. I’ve watched the video, but i would like to know if the imported file an database will change the name and details of my new domain name and website link.

Thanks

Hi Stephen,

Thanks for your question on Total Upkeep Backup & Migration plugin for WordPress.

Importing a new database will not change your domain name but it could change your login details and users accounts. The best thing to do before exporting your database is to create a master admin account that will give you access to the current database on any install.

I hope this helps. Please reach back out if you need additional assistance.
