How do I migrate my website’s database from my local setup to a remote database server?

[ad_1]

After taking advice from this sub the other day, I requested my team to set up a remote database for us so we can all work with the same database. They acknowledged its importance, and provided us with the credentials after setting up the database.

But, I can't figure out how I could incorporate the remote database into my workflow. I am using Local WP to develop an Elementor website and I don't see an option to connect to a remote database instead of the local instance provided by Local WP itself.

If anyone has dealt with this before, I'd appreciate some pointers.

  1. In your root directory, there will be a `wp-config.php` file.

    In WordPress, the database credentials are stored in that file.

    You have to update the database details like DB name, DB user, Password & DB host.

    Default code will look like below one.

    define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘your_database_name’);
    define(‘DB_USER’, ‘your_database_user’);
    define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘your_database_password’);
    define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘localhost’);

    We have to update these details with new details.

    Change in DB_HOST – Replace localhost with the IP address or hostname of our remote database server. If our database server uses a non-standard port, we can specify it like below one.

    define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘remote_host_ip:3306’);
