Exporter/Importer la Base WordPress 2026

Database moves power migrations, staging clones, and disaster recovery. Doing exports/imports wrong corrupts serialized options. follow this sequence.

Comment nous avons validé ces étapes

Avant publication nous rejouons chaque étape sur au moins deux marques quand c'est dépendant de l'hôte. ou deux fois les jours distincts sur la même pile sinon. Nous notons erreurs console, libellés qui varient selon la région, et mettons à jour dès qu'un éditeur déplace un bouton. Chemins et captures sont reverifiés trimestriellement. Pour DNS, SSL ou paiement, nous vérifions les options de retour et renvoyons vers la documentation officielle du fournisseur.

  1. 1

    Step 1: Export from source

    phpMyAdmin → select your WP database → Export → Quick → SQL format → Go. Download the .sql file.

  2. 2

    Step 2: Create empty database on destination

    In destination hosting panel create a new MySQL database and user with ALL PRIVILEGES; note name, user, password, host.

  3. 3

    Step 3: Import SQL

    phpMyAdmin on destination → Import → choose file → Go. Increase upload limits in php.ini if the dump is large.

  4. 4

    Step 4: Update wp-config.php

    Point DB_NAME, DB_USER, DB_PASSWORD, DB_HOST to the new database credentials.

  5. 5

    Step 5: Replace URLs if domain changed

    Use Better Search Replace or WP-CLI search-replace with serialized-safe tools. never blind text edit of the SQL file for domain swaps.

  6. 6

    Step 6: Flush permalinks

    Log in wp-admin → Settings → Permalinks → Save to regenerate rewrite rules.
