Moving s2Member to a new server

Hi all,

I've just uploaded s2member to a new server from my local machine.

I changed all the instances of the local server "localhost/wp" etc. to the new server name in the sql but when I go in to the admin panel, everything is working o.k. in wordpress except for s2Member.

s2Member has lost all my custom fields and settings.

I changed the security encryption key to the old one but no joy. Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks,

Nick

Inside your WordPress Dashboard, go to:
`s2Member -> General Options -> De-Activation Safeguards`
Turn Safeguards `on`, and click Save. This tells s2Member NOT to remove any existing data/options; should WordPress try to de-activate it inadvertently.

If Safeguards were OFF, and you have already de-activated s2Member inadvertently during the transition to your new location, you may need to restore your database from an earlier state.
