First, copy the PDA plugin source code to the new host.

Steps:

1. Log in to cPanel
2. Open File Manager (or connect via FTP)
3. Navigate to the folder:
4. Root/wp-content/plugins/product-designer-app
5. Copy and move this folder to the target host using the same directory path

Activate Plugin on New Host #

After moving the source code:

1. Go to WordPress Admin Panel
2. Navigate to Plugins → Installed Plugins
3. Locate Product Designer App
4. Click Activate

After activating the plugin, clear all site cache if any caching system is enabled.

Move PDA Plugin Data #

To move all PDA plugin data, you need to transfer both the database tables and the upload files.

Export Database #

Click Export to download the .sql file

Log in to cPanel

Open phpMyAdmin

Select the WordPress database

Search for tables with the prefix pda_

Select the required tables

Open the Export tab

Choose the export format

Import Database #

1. Open phpMyAdmin on the target host
2. Select the target WordPress database
3. Open the Import tab
4. Choose the downloaded .sql file
5. Click Import to import the data

Move Upload Files #

2. Open File Manager (or connect via FTP)
3. Navigate to the folder:
4. Root/wp-content/uploads/product-designer-app
5. Copy and move this folder to the target host using the same directory path

Clear cache after completing the migration to ensure the plugin works correctly.

The directory structure must remain unchanged on the new host.

Make sure the plugin is activated after all files and database tables are moved.
