Re: documentation on moving to new server

I’ve not yet moved over any clients from wbfaction but as I was looking for a UK-based host, I’ve been testing guru.co.uk. It’s also Cpanel (the newer variant) but like you say SSH-access is permitted and works for remote MySQL access, direct sftp etc. just fine. They have an email migration setup too, but I’ve yet to test that.

oooh. i do like the look of Guru! Do they provide free Lets Encrypt ? they say “free SSLCertificates”. I assume it is lets encrypt? Even with the added on email module its comes in at £10 per month. Something to keep in mind if A2H proves too staid ;-)

Yep ;-)

To qualify that: it will make Textpattern put https:// (instead of http://) in all links generated by textpattern tags. It can’t correct links you have written manually in code. You need to change that yourself. Likewise it doesn’t change the protocol of links you set under Content › Links. You need to do that manually too (which is a good thing as not all sites have moved over).

Also, if you have a caching plugin, clear the cache first.
