How to Safely Copy and Move Your WordPress Website

Learn how to duplicate and transfer your entire WordPress site from one location to another — like a pro!

• Want to know the best, safest, and easiest way to copy and move your own WordPress site?

In this course, we’ll talk about how WordPress migration works, how to prepare your existing site and your site’s destination, and what tools you need to clone and move your entire WordPress site.

Whether you plan to migrate your own WordPress website from one web host to another, from your local computer to a web server, or from a web server to your own local computer — understanding how WordPress migration works will help you feel more confident and secure about the process!

HOW IS THIS COURSE DIFFERENT?

My name is Kathleen, and I’ve been teaching technology to beginners under the moniker Robobunnyattack! since 2009. I believe that with the right approach, anyone can learn anything.

My goal is to help you develop an intuitive understanding of web technologies, and how to make them work for YOU.

The lessons in this course are perfect for “advanced beginners” who:

• Are comfortable using WordPress;
• Know (or are willing to learn) how to use FTP software to move files to and from a web server;
• Know (or are willing to learn) how to perform some basic configuration tasks via their web hosting provider’s web hosting control panel (e.g. cPanel).

If this describes you, then you’re ready to learn how to migrate your own WordPress website!

In this course, we’ll copy and move a pre-existing WordPress website from one web server to another. As we work together, I’ll explain what each step means and WHY we do it, so you can learn more quickly and with more confidence. We’ll cover:

• Why moving a WordPress website is so complicated (and how to approach this);
• How to prepare your existing site for a successful migration;
• Free tools you can use to automate and simplify the process;
• Essential steps for setting up your destination location;
• Testing, cleanup, and more!

By the end of this course, you’ll be able to copy and move an entire WordPress website from one location to another, following best practices every step of the way!
