1 – Migration Guide

1. restore database and files.
2. change php.ini (increase upload_max_filesize and post_max_size values if needed).
3. change wp-config.php (database name, userid, and password).
4. change domain name entries in SQL table wp-options (siteurl and home entries).
5. Install and activate the Better Search Replace plugin if not yet done so.
6. run the Better Search Replace plugin (dashboard->Tools)
   • Choose tables wp-posts and wp-postmeta.
   • replace ‘https://testsite.songchanhniem.com‘ with ‘http://localhost/scn-test‘
   • replace ‘http://testsite.songchanhniem.com‘ with ‘http://localhost/scn-test‘
7. run Elementor’s URL Replace tool (elementor->tools->URL Replace
   • replace ‘https://testsite.songchanhniem.com‘ with ‘http://localhost/scn-test‘
   • replace ‘http://testsite.songchanhniem.com‘ with ‘http://localhost/scn-test‘
8. Deactivate the Better Replace Search plugin once migration is completed.

NOTE: Do not need to run Regenerate CSS because running it seems to make Elementor’s global custom colors disappeared.
