Yes. This article is perhaps based on an odd situation. New Wordpress installation; new database; new server. So I wanted to retain all of my posts, but still use the new configuration and installation. Keep all of the new php & just move my theme & data over. Thanks for your comment!

So I wanted to retain all of my posts, but still use the new configuration and installation. Keep all of the new php & just move my theme & data over.

I guess this level is necessary if you might be switching versions in the transition, but I think you should be able to just take a mysqldump of the old DB and populate the database on the new server with that same data, and then just edit wp-config.php with the database name and login info and it should work. Least I've done this moving between websites and databases, admittedly on the same server, without any problems, but then again I have root access so maybe there are some things i'm taking for granted. Nice info though, I appreciate what you are doing with this site. I find myself using wordpress for just about everything I do these days so it's nice to know I can bug you with questions about this too :) -Matt Hmm..
