Export and import a database with WP-CLI

Follow these Cyber Grapes steps to export and import a database with WP-CLI for WordPress. Keep credentials handy, save your work, and allow time for DNS or publish changes before you retest.

  1. Sign in to Cyber Grapes, open My Products, select the hosting plan that holds your WordPress site, then open WordPress or visit yoursite.com/wp-admin.
  2. In WordPress dashboard (wp-admin), open MySQL Databases, phpMyAdmin, or the database tool for your plan.
  3. Create, import, or export as required for and import a database with wp-cli. Keep a downloadable backup first.
  4. Update wp-config.php or app connection strings if the database name, user, or host changed.
  5. Save your changes, then verify the result (site load, mailbox login, certificate padlock, or app sync).
Tip: DNS and SSL changes can take from a few minutes up to 48 hours to show everywhere. Test again after propagation before assuming the change failed.
