Join us in this practical session where we demonstrate the step-by-step process. We set up a source website and a destination website, and then synchronize the database from the source to the destination. Watch as the post data from the source website's database automatically appears on the destination website after synchronization.
First, we'll guide you through the process of installing the free 'wp-sync-db' plugin on both the source and destination sites. You can find the download link in the video description below. Follow the instructions to upload, install, and activate the plugin on both websites.
Once the plugin is installed, we'll proceed to the migration process. Access the dashboard of the source website and navigate to 'Tools' and 'Migrate DB'. On the destination website, go to 'Tools' and to 'Migrate DB' and create a 'pull request'. We'll show you how to copy the connection info from the source website, paste it into the destination website, and initiate the migration process.
Sit back and watch as the plugin pulls the database tables from the source website to the destination website. The time it takes will depend on the size of your database and the number of tables and rows. Once the process is complete, reload the page, log in to the WordPress dashboard, and check the posts. Voila! You'll see the synced posts on the destination website, proving the successful database synchronization.
With this technique, you can synchronize databases between websites in different environments, even without direct access to the database server or phpMyAdmin.
