Consulting

You ever do per hour consulting? I need a phone consult to help me install WP on a new server and migrate by Barely Corporate child theme that resides in another WP install sub-domain to it.

Hello,

No sorry we don’t offer anything like this. I’ve got a pretty detailed article on the topic here though:

… Intro of article makes it seem more geared moving from local to live server, but live server to live server would be the same process.

There’s also a new tool out I haven’t gotten a chance to try, but have heard great things so far:

There are some other plugins out their that “migrate” WordPress sites, but I’ve found they often do not work great with dealing with serialized data and often result in loss of widget data, and in the case of this theme, your sliders and custom layouts (because all that is serialized in your WP database).

Also, make sure before doing any transfers you’ve saved your layouts and sliders in the theme with Barely Corporate v3.1+.
