About this talk

What the session covered.

WordPress migrations fail in predictable ways: database corruption, DNS misconfiguration, broken URLs, lost email routing.

At WordCamp Las Palmas de Gran Canaria 2018, Vineet covered the complete migration process from pre-migration audit through database transfer, DNS cutover, and post-migration validation, with attention to the most common failure points and how to prevent them.
