Learn to effortlessly move your Wordpress website between hosts or domains with easy-to-follow steps and video tutorials. Perfect for all skill levels.
This course is all about moving your Wordpress website to a new host or domain. It guides you through the messy parts in an easy way, with videos that let you follow along. You'll get the inside scoop on ensuring everything connects properly.
Move a Wordpress website between web hosts or to a different domain name, in easy to follow, over-the-shoulder steps
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 manually moving a Wordpress website, but also show you automated ways of doing this, without much technical know-how. I'll use real sites 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.
This course will show you:
The main reasons why a move is necessary.
An overview of the steps involved, followed by a detailed step-by-step series of video tutorials showing the entire process.
How to move the Wordpress script files from one domain (and/or webhost) to another.
You'll also copy the Wordpress database from one site, and import it into another. The copying process with replace references to the domain name (and server locations) of the site you are moving, with the domain and location of the site you are moving it to.
How to edit the Wordpress configuration file to get your Wordpress script and database talking together.
How to create redirects so that your old website automatically redirects visitors to the new site when they try to land on a webpage.
How to check to make sure the site move was successful.
The course will also cover a couple of plugins that can automate the move of a WordPress website from one web host to another.
This course is a complete step-by-step guide to moving your Wordpress website from one domain to another, and/or one web host to another.
Move a Wordpress website from one domain and/or web host, to another.
Know various reasons why you need to move a website from one domain or host to another.

I have written and published a number of books that are available on Amazon, including books on WordPress ("WordPress for Beginners 2024"), Self-Publishing ("Self-Publishing on Amazon 2023"), and search engine optimization ("SEO 2021"). I also run a website called ezSEONews, where I provide tutorials on a number of skills required for running a successful website.As an ex-schoolteacher, I hope I...
I am getting the info I need, but I don’t believe in perfection so no 5 stars.
I expected something much easier.
A very clear and well structured course
Excellent tutor. Clear and detailed explanations for each step.
Andy really and clearly shows what is involved moving a website.
His presentation is very clear and the speed of the presentation makes it easy to follow.
I do recommend this course.
Clear guidance from Andrew as always, which enabled me to successfully migrate a website. This course is invaluable for anyone seeking to migrate a site to new hosting with an existing domain as in my case. There is also a section on moving a site to a new domain and hosting package. Very good indeed.
I enjoyed the course after doing the "Install Wordpress Locally" course. It has given me a good overview of the processes, so should find it easier to follow in your books now.
I have been paying someone to move my sites for many years. I was always uncomfortable with the database, and not knowing how to be sure the site I was seeing was the new site on the new host.
I can now save time (waiting for someone else to do the work) and money.
I highly recommend this course. Follow the steps and you will be a WordPress moving machine at the end.
Good course - Step to step guidance - Easy to follow

Como con todos los cursos de Andy fue una buena elección. Había dejado el curso sin terminar pero volví a él porque tuve que migrar mi sitio de un hosting a otro. En realidad sólo una parte del curso era la que necesitaba, el resto me resultó un poco confuso. No usé plugins para la migración. La llevé a cabo manualmente.
