Is there any issues with regards to importing an old wordpress mysql database to a new one?
Posted on 11 March 2010 by Abidoon
I imported my old wordpress mysql database to a new database in my hosting account, then deleted the old one. The site’s showing up ok, as of now. So i’m wondering if I missed any step during the importation that might pose as a problem in the future. Did I do right?

Hi there,
If it is working ok you should be alright. I would recommend keeping hold of backups for a while until you are absolutely sure.
Unfortunately, we can’t tell if you have done it right from a question.
If it is working ok, then let’s assume you have. If any problems come up, then you can fix them when they do … but it’s only an if.
All the best

Assuming your host is the same, your site/domain is the same, and the structure didn’t change, everything should be fine.
The WordPress database is very stable and easy to move, even from site to site. Like the other answer says, as long as your site is working, you’re probably going to be just fine.
