When you are moving from one site to another, we can suggest using the Duplicator plugin. We use it and it's working fine, because it will transfer all the files and also the tables to database.
Other than cloning the site, another option would be to copy all database tables (wp_wpdatatable_#) along with tables wp_wpdatatables, wp_wpdatacharts and wp_wpdatatables_columns. Then, in wp_options table, you would also need to export the following option_names:
wdtPreventDeletingTables
wdtUseSeparateCon
wdtSeparateCon
wdtTimepickerRange
wdtTimeFormat
wdtTabletWidth
wdtTablesPerPage
wdtSumFunctionsLabel
wdtRenderFilter
wdtRenderCharts
wdtIncludeBootstrap
wdtIncludeBootstrapBackEnd
wdtPreventDeletingTables
wdtParseShortcodes
wdtNumbersAlign
wdtBorderRemoval
wdtBorderRemovalHeader
wdtNumberFormat
wdtMobileWidth
wdtMinifiedJs
wdtMinFunctionsLabel
wdtMaxFunctionsLabel
wdtLeftOffset
wdtTopOffset
wdtInterfaceLanguage
wdtGeneratedTablesCount
wdtFontColorSettings
wdtDecimalPlaces
wdtCSVDelimiter
wdtDateFormat
wdtCustomJs
wdtCustomCss
wdtBaseSkin
wdtAvgFunctionsLabel
wdtInstallDate
wdtRatingDiv
wdtMDNewsDiv
wdtTempFutureDate
It is rather cumbersome to do all this, but unfortunately at the moment it's the only way. Also, for tables linked to an existing data source, you would need to change the file path, because at the moment the file path depends on the domain, so if you change the domain, the URL to the file will also have to be changed.
Our developers are working on creating an "Export" function, so this will be much simpler in the future.
Thanks, however I need to clarify that I'm not trying to move data, just register the plugin to a new Wordpress account as I have the 'Basic' version that only allows one domain. I wish to use the plugin I have purchased on another site for a different purpose.
I'd also consider upgrading to the 'Pro' version so that I can have 3 domains, is this possible?
Well, if you don't need to move the actual data from the plugin (tables, settings and charts), you can simply deactivate the license in wpDataTables settings/Activation on this site, and then install the plugin and activate the license on the other site you have.
If you wish to upgrade to Pro license, all you need to do is make sure you have enough funds on your card or PayPal account (depending on how you purchased the plugin), and open a ticket requesting an upgrade. We will then forward the request to our reseller, Paddle, who will charge you the price difference, and your license would be upgraded.
Hi,
How do I transfer the plugin to a new domain/site please?
Or upgrade?
Thanks
Chris
