I am trying to move a wordpress blog from one server to another server. I am able to move the posts and user accounts. I am able to move the media uploaded by the users but they are no longer linked to the posts. How can move the media with the posts without losing the linking
In order for the media attachments to be linked to your Posts, you need to migrate all of the wp_posts table also, not only the parts of it. As each attachment is actually linked by a parent_post field with other posts.
Also, you can use the WordPress Importer plugin to import the posts. By importing the posts, the attachments will be downloaded in the new server and linked with the posts. But if you have a lot of post and media files, that would take time.
Export tool
You can export your posts, pages, comments, custom fields, categories, and tags from one WordPress website to another website by creating an XML file.
Download and save this XML file to your computer .and by using import function in other WordPress websites you can import XML file.
To open Export tool go to Dashboard> Tools > Export.
Now click on an Export button it will open a new window.
what_to_export
There you can see three options
All content – By using this option you can export all content of website including posts, pages, comments, custom fields etc.
Posts or Pages– By next two options you can export Posts or Pages content. On selecting Posts or Page option, it will open a new window with different options like authors name, date range, and status. Hence by using these options, you can select your desired pages or posts that you want to export.
download XML FILE
After doing all settings click on Download Export File. An XML file will automatically start downloading to your computer.
Import tool
You can import posts, page or comments or other content from another WordPress.com or WordPress.org blog or site. To open import tool go to Dashboard > Tools > Import.
By default, WordPress does not provide import functionality. Hence to get this feature you have to install a Plugin.
On clicking on import .it will open a new window where you can choose a plugin according to your need from the list of plugins.
import_tool
WordPress importer- is used for Import posts, comments, custom fields, pages, and categories from a WordPress export file.
Now just click on WordPress out of all plugins. It will release a new window .where you click on install now button to install the WordPress importer.
install_importer
Now activate this plugins .after activation it will open a new tab from where you can choose your exported XML file (created by using the export tool) from your computer.
choose_XML_file
Now click on upload and import XML file. It will automatically add your exported content to your website and that’s it.
Hope this will help you
You need to export your posts from your old site, import them to the new site and then redirect the post to their new location.
You could start by packaging up your Files.
Well if you simply If you simply drag and drop files from one server to another using a GUI interface, chances are good that the GUI will omit hidden files such as the vital .htaccess file. Besides, transferring hundreds of files via FTP can take a long time because each file must often undergo some sort of authentication; in other words copying over a hundred 1 megabyte files takes a lot longer than copying over a single 100 megabyte file.
On a UNIX style system, you can create a compressed file using the tar command:
tar -czf /path/to/backups/modx_revo_site.tar.gz /path/to/modx_doc_root/
Once you arrive on the other end, it's good to put the zipped file into its own directory before you extract it. The idea here is that if it explodes, it's easier to clean up the mess if it's contained in its own directory.
On a UNIX style system, you can unpackage a .tar.gz file using the following commands from a command line:
gunzip modx_revo_site.tar.gz
tar xvf modx_revo_site.tar
Once you've extracted the files, you can move the whole directory into the correct place. Again, be careful about moving files in bulk: you might inadvertently forget to copy those hidden files. It's better to rename or move the containing directory instead.
Detailed explanation can be found under: https://docs.modx.com/revolution/2.x/administering-your-site/moving-your-site-to-a-new-server
Important is, that you use a permanent redirect not a temporary redirect. This will decrease the SEO Power over time. The Temporary Redirect redirect status response code indicates that the resource requested has been temporarily moved to the URL given by the Location headers.
Totally agree with the above said methods. Make sure to include all media and copy the authorizations as well. I had some issues a while ago when I tried to move my content on another server an totally forgot about the authorizations...

Good luck.
Is it possible to keep .html extension on last part of URL in wordpress, like http://teachingvolunteer.com/volunteer-programs/private-school.html . This site http://teachingvolunteer.com was developed in joomla framework and I want to save all URL for SEO purpose. Because If I developed site without .html extension then all indexed URL on search engine will be shown in not found page. That's why I want to preserve all URL in this site. Can anyone help me in this issue ?
I have an installation of TYPO3 and an installation of Wordpress and want to have a sitemap.xml for search engines which includes sites from both systems.
Currently the sitemap of the TYPO3 installation is generated with typoscript (I basically use this generator). In Wordpress there is no extension installed to generate a sitemap yet.
Edit: TYPO3 is installed in domain.tld/ and Wordpress is in a subdirectory domain.tld/blog.
I am open to use any way to merge sites from both systems in one sitemap. That could either be extensions for one or both CMS or a script running separately. Or maybe there is a way to parse the sitemap.xml from Wordpress in typoscript.
Does anyone know a way to merge the sitemaps?
There is not direct way to handle this. Typoscript can not parse external files. The only way to get a merge is creating a new simple extension which gives you the output of both sitemaps merges.
I've got a Plone site that I administer and I'd like to add some pages to the Disallow of a robots.txt.
It appears that Plone automatically generates a robots.txt file. I can't find any way to modify that. I've also tried adding a 'robots.txt' file to the root of the app, but it says that "robots.txt is reserved"
Does anyone know how to modify this with Plone (v3)?
As has been noted already, Plone 3.x already includes a robots.txt file so the preferred solution now is probably NOT to create a new robots.txt in the ZMI but rather to customize the included one.
Using the ZMI, go to /portal_skins/plone_templates/ and find the robots.txt file. Customize as you would any other skin element.
Or using the filesystem, just add your robots.txt file to a custom skin product.
In Plone 5 it was turned into a BrowserView, so now you can edit it in the Site Settings at /##site-controlpanel.
Create a robots.txt on your desktop
Go in the xmi of the plone site -> add a new file -> call it robot.txt
Choose it from the desktop
