Hi,
I’m rebuilding a website from scratch to replace my site that has an active Affiliates Pro running.
Is there a way to export EVERYTHING from the old site to import it into the new one?
What would be the best strategy to get this done?
And another question. Do you have plans to add a Piotnet Forms integration? Or is there a suggested work-around I could do on my own?
Hi Yvonne, you’re welcome.
You should get an export through phpMyAdmin and then import it in the new location using again the phpMyAdmin. Affiliates Pro plugin should be installed again, the db migration will only transfer the data stored in the db.
Kind regards,
George
Hi George,
thanks for responding.
Could you elaborate a little on your comment “The best way to migrate your data to your new site is by taking an export of the database and then import it to the new location.”
You mean from and to the databases in PHPMyAdmin, or is there any functionality within WordPress/plugin to do that? And should I install Affiliates Pro on the new site first or will the import take care of that?
Hi Yvonne,
Thanks for using our affiliate marketing tools on your site. The best way to migrate your data to your new site is by taking an export of the database and then import it to the new location.
Even though at the moment Piotnet Forms is not in our list, we support some major form-builder plugins with integrations which you can find in our documentation section for integrations. If this is a requirement for you, then you should use the hook when the form is submitted and depending on the submitted data, record a referral as described in our examples.
Kind regards,
George
