We have built a new website on a temporary domain. The original site will be deleted and the new one put in it's place. I'm wondering how best to move Amelia and it's data?
Can I either:
Somehow backup just the Amelia data and settings to restore on the new website. (I couldn't find a backup/restore option)
or
Can I just move the Amelia folder, delete the website, put the new one on and then put the Amelia folder back?
Regarding migrating the Amelia installation so that you don't lose any data;
The easiest way is to clone your website.
You can do that by using the Duplicator plugin. It will generate a couple of files that you can transfer to the new domain and it will create an exact copy of your website.
The Duplicator plugin can export only up to 500MB of data, so if your site is bigger than that, you can use the All-in-One WP Migration plugin.
- Other than cloning your website, there's a way to migrate only Amelia's database tables.
There are around 47 tables with wp_amelia_ prefix that need to be moved. Please note that wp_ is the default database prefix, but on your end, it could be anything, so look for your_prefix_amelia_ tables.
Besides that, you also need to go to wp_options and search for option_name "amelia_settings" - that returns one row, so you need to copy the option_value and paste it in the same field on the other site.
Note that this contains all info from your old website, so you will need to replace the URLs in this cell.
If you need to change the domain on the license, the easiest way is to log in to the 'old site' WP-Admin, go to our Plugin settings/Activation, click the "deactivate" button on the license there, and then go to the new website. In the Plugin settings/Activation, just paste the Purchase code there. It will automatically recognize that your license is now switched/registered to the new domain.
I would also like to migrate amelia to my new site. I don't want a copy of my old site since there is something strange in my wp installation that nobody can get a fix at.
Will moving all of the tables keep my client registry and reservations. and if so, I guess that all the users connected to those clients will come to the new site too?
I really think that migrating or import/export should be a feature.
Since you are exporting (migrating) the data, it should be saved. For example, there is a column named wp_amelia_appointments that contains all the information regarding appointments. Feel free to suggest this as a feature, of course.

Or is there a better way to do it?
