#Fix aliases in apache and the default subdomain for landing (see below)
#Fix the permalinks (update the .htaccess file)
#Fix the links hardcoded in menus
#(Create and) load up a new icon image (it is set under Appearance -> Customize -> Site Identity)
#Run any updates etc.
#Reconnect Google site kit
#Fix the links hardcoded in menus I also needed to:#Perform a backup (I really should have done this before moving the site but hey...)#Fix the images etc. (they initially fine... but I came to suspect that they were cached and an HTML inspected revealed the wrong urls)Rerun Yoast SEO optimizer
To fix the main alias in apache:
RewriteRule ^/*$ %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/blog/index.php [L]
systemctl reload apache2
I also needed to:
#Perform a backup (I really should have done this before moving the site but hey...)
#Fix the images etc. (they initially fine... but I came to suspect that they were cached and an HTML inspected revealed the wrong URLs)
Do the backup (with a user that has process privileges):
cd /bulk/backups
mysqldump --add-drop-table -h localhost -u user -p wordpress | gzip > wordpress-20210209.sql.gz
or
mysqldump --add-drop-table -h localhost -u user -p wordpress > wordpress-20210209.sql
Then install and use Velvet Blues (see https://www.wpbeginner.com/plugins/how-to-update-urls-when-moving-your-wordpress-site/) and use it to change the URLs (use https:// as a page inspection shows that this is correct)
