First of all, go to phpMyAdmin
, go to your database for test.site.com
and edit siteurl
and/or home
in wp_options
table. That’ll fix your test.site.com
Now, to migrate test.site.com
to site.com
, as you’ve difficulties doing it manually, I’d suggest a plugin like Duplicator or All-in-One WP Migration to migrate the site. It’s way easier that way.
To do the migration manually
1). In phpMyAdmin
, your database of test.site.com
to another database. Here’ how to do it.
2). Replace all URL instances of test.site.com
with site.com
. Run the following query in your new copied DB
UPDATE wp_options SET option_value = replace(option_value, 'http://test.example.com', 'http://example.com') WHERE option_name="home" OR option_name="siteurl";
UPDATE wp_posts SET guid = replace(guid, 'http://test.example.com','http://example.com');
UPDATE wp_posts SET post_content = replace(post_content, 'http://test.example.com', 'http://example.com');
UPDATE wp_postmeta SET meta_value = replace(meta_value,'http://test.example.com','http://example.com');
3). Now, move all files from public_html/test
to public_html/site
.
4). Lastly, change database details to the new copied database in wp-config.php
