We have an existing account with EE4 on our current host. It has data from many events in it. We are moving to a new hosting company. I have installed the same version of EE4 on the new host. We will be repointing the current domains to the new host
What I want to know is how to get the data from the old host to the new one.
Any help is appreciated.

Hi Ramon,
Either the Duplicator plugin or the WP Migrate DB plugins are recommended.
Duplicator copies everything, including files:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/duplicator/
WP Migrate DB gets the data ready for migration and exports it, you’ll still need to import the data using phpmyadmin:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-migrate-db/
WP Migrate DB Pro makes things easier because it lets you do a one-click push or pull the data from one site to the other:

HI Josh,
thanks for the quick response. I only want to bring the data from EE over, not any other data or files from the current site.

That’s going to be very tricky because EE’s data is not only in its own custom tables (which is the easy part), but it’s also in the regular WP posts table and the wp_options table. I won’t say it’s impossible to only bring EE data over, but you’ll need to be very careful and comfortable with using PHPmyadmin.
The simplest solution that I can think of is use the WP DB Migrate Pro plugin, it will let you select which tables to migrate, this way you can set it to not copy some of the tables, like if there are tables from other plugins that you don’t want. You’ll still need to copy over the posts table and options table from the current site though. Then you could remove posts/pages that you don’t want on the new site.
