Doing a WordPress Migration may not be as straightforward as Joomla, but neither the less the logic still stays the same.
Below are the steps that you will need to do to successfully do a migration from one server to another. This will help you replicate your websites without going through the hassle of installing and configuration of plugin.
Preparing your WordPress Migration Files
- Download all your files to your computer from the directory that you had your WordPress Installation
- Go to phpMyAdmin in your CPANEL
- Select the corresponding WordPress Database
- Export Database as xxxx.sql
Installing a new WordPress Migration
- Create Database (make sure it is same name)
- Create DB User (make sure it is same name)
- Grant ALL Permissions to DB User
- Import the xxxx.sql into the DB using phpMyAdmin
- Upload all the files to your new server
Hope that helps. If there is anything that you want me to add or any problems just post your comments.
