You can change the string easily but the length of the string is not updated. Here's a simple example of some serialized data from the wp_options table:</p> <pre><code>[php] s:37:\&quot;http://mysampledomain.com/nome-alaska\&quot;;</code></pre> <p>where the 37 indicates the length of the string. If you change the domain name using find and replace in your favorite editor, the string gets changed but the length of the string is not updated.</p> <p>for example:<br /> <pre><code>[php] s:37:\&quot;http://awesome.com/nome-alaska\&quot;;</code></pre> <p>The 37 there is no longer accurate and it causes the code to fail, because it tries to read too far. That's when bad things happen.</p> <p>The <a href="http://pluginbuddy.com/purchase/backupbuddy/" rel="nofollow">BackupBuddy</a> plugin from <a href="http://pluginbuddy.com/" rel="nofollow">PluginBuddy</a> takes care of this, I believe, according to their features list, but I have no experience with it. (no affiliation, just a bunch of nice guys there.)</p> <p>I also posted my experience with how I handle it, here, <strong>not</strong> using the BackupBuddy plugin:<br /> <a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/forums/topic/how-to-migrate-gravity-forms#post-43152" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/forums/topic/how-to-migrate-gravity-forms#post-43152</a></p> <p>That takes care of changing the domain name in the database dump after creating the new site. Before that, I usually have to change the table prefix as well, but only in the SQL statements, NOT in the wp_options table (where it's used for things like permissions.)</p> <p>Let me know if you have any questions. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/forms-missing-after-migration#post-44261 Fri, 16 Dec 2011 16:58:41 +0000 manifestcreative 44261@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I'm having this same issue. Has this been resolved? I'm particularly concerned because one of my forms has more than 2k entries and is quite involved from a layout perspective.</p> <p>Update: The Meta Recovery plugin worked for this instance. Are there any guidelines to help us developers when migrating sites with Gravity Forms info data in the database? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/forms-missing-after-migration#post-44192 Thu, 15 Dec 2011 19:03:59 +0000 seanbaugh 44192@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p><a href="mailto:seanb@matchboxstudio.com">seanb@matchboxstudio.com</a> </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/forms-missing-after-migration#post-44191 Thu, 15 Dec 2011 19:02:08 +0000 seanbaugh 44191@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>David - can you email me. The company requires an IP address from the person accessing via FTP. If you can email me, I can pass your IP along to the client.
