Learn How to Move a WordPress Website

Avoid the steep learning curve with step-by-step instruction, and move your site with confidence.

With standard HTML sites, moving from one webhost to another, or from one domain to another was simple. Copy and paste the files.

WIth WordPress, things are a little more complicated. WordPress is a script, that stores your web content (web pages) in a database. Moving a WordPress website requires not only moving the WordPress script files from one place to another, but also a database. And you are not finished there. Even after moving both of these, your site won’t work. You need to get the WordPress script talking to the database.

This course will take you step-by-step through the process of moving a WordPress website. In fact, I’ll use a real site that I own to demonstrate the entire process. You can follow along, watching over-my-shoulder and repeating the steps yourself as you move your own site.

Apart from the obvious web hosting and WordPress site that needs moving, everything else you need is entirely free.
