How does one best migrate a Wordpress site?
Hey all,
I'm trying to migrate my site from one domain to another. I'm not the host on the original domain, so I just want to export the website somehow and reupload to the new host. I've tried the Jetpack, All-in-one Migration and WPVivid plugins, all which haven't worked, probably because my site works with a few plugins and is around 200 Mb. Any tips would be appreciated.
I'd use updraft for this. Backup to file, then re-upload on the new site. Then use velvet blues to change the URLs across the site to the new URL.
Updraft has migration tools built in, all you have to do is backup on site 1, then install bare WordPress and updraft on the new server and restore your backup from your first server. It can rewrite the url if that ends up changing.
Updraft is great. Well worth paying for it too
