20,547 PointsTo manually migrate WordPress from local to live domain or from one web hosting to another there are few simple steps:
1- Install wp clean install where you want to move WordPress (i recomend you to use the same version)
2- copy the wp-content filder to the clean install
3- in the wp clean install go to the database using PHP MyAdmin or equivalent and delete all the tables
4- import the database into the clean wp install
5- In tables columns in PHP MyAdmin (located on the left) look for a table called OPTIONS, when u click on it (on the right side) change the urls to the new url (NO NEED TO CHANGE URLS IN THE WP CONFIG)
IF YOU CHANGED THE DB TABLE PREFIX WHILE YOU INSTALLED THE ORIGINAL WP INSTALL YOU WANT TO MOVE, MAKE SURE YOU PUT THE SAME DB TABLE PREFIX in the NEW WP CONFIG
Last step: Login to your WP RECENTLY MOVED and install this plugin to change the rest of urls and thatβs it. The use of the plugin is very easy.
