    Default Move my site to a new one

    Hi there sorry if this has been posted elsewhere, I searched but to not really know the right terminology for what I want to to do.

    We have been using this site http://shop.blackbarnsofas.co.uk/ which is running version 1.3 for a year or so now but that site needs to be wound down and we need to switch everything to: www.upholstery-supplies.co.uk which we have installed with version 1.5

    I have copied the template files over, that was easy but now I want to copy over all the other stuff like the products, from what I have read it as about the database but I have no experience with databases.

    I am using cpanel and I have stuff like phpmyadmin which seems to have some import export options.

    also with the differences between v1.3 and 1.5 would this work or am I better off just rebuilding the site from scratch?.

    Sorry that was rather long winded any help is greatly appreciated.

    Steve

    Yup. you got it.

    Just remember to make sure you have a backup of everything first though. (This will ensure you'll never need it). :)
