Gale, I'm guessing the images aren't showing up because their URLs (in the img tags' src attributes, in the post_content field of the posts table) are still pointing at the old domain. You need to replace every instance of the old domain in the database (in every table) with the new domain. As I said, though, note the caveats in section 6 above.

I was able to place my site, but images are not showing up. Its pointing from a previous path, is there a way to point it to the updated path?

Gale, have you searched the database in phpMyAdmin for the old subdomain? You need to replace all instances of it with the new domain—but mind out for the problems described in section 6 of this post. Good luck!

hi,
i got this problem. I have a blog which i transferred to a different server but same hosting company. the blog was under a subdomain previously and now i’ll be assigning it to a domain. I have already updated phpmyadmin under wp_options, change the URL. already udpated my wpconfig.php pointing to the right database. The things its pulling up a previous permalink which I use previously (the subdomain.domain.com) I’m quite confuse, what I mess up and I dont know how to have this work. Please let me know what to do.

Hmm, I went through similar headache moving from blogger to blogengine. I think key is to know your indexed links before the move, setup 301 redirects on new home.

Hello, do you have a “how to” video guide to follow? I am a complete newbie and I want to change my domain name and reading the above really confuses me. Any extra help would be awesome.

Thanks,
Brandon

Hello, thanks for the help! But me I had another problem, it was not the number of characters but the conversion of single quotes to double quotes. I had to do it manually because the solution by Dave Coveney didn’t solve my problem. Bye bye
