Moving A New Site From Sub Domain To Domain

[Haynesey]

Hi,

I'm having trouble moving my "new" site over from a test subdomain to my actual domain. Both sites are wordpress based.

How do I go about doing this?

I'm worried about accidentally deleting the new version because I've had to manually copy and paste a whole load of pages/posts over.

Thanks,
Haynesey

Thanks

Just figured it out myself after some trial and error.

Easy way is to build the site on the new domain (install wp) copy the theme, css files and images into the new site > export the test site xml file and import it to the new one, organize the pages.. 301 the old site address if they are indexed and change the name in google webmaster tools.
