Migrate site to another Domain / Hosting (All In One WP Migration)

Migrating a website using the All-in-One WP Migration plugin in WordPress is a straightforward process. Here's a step-by-step guide:

Install the Plugin:
Log in to your WordPress dashboard.
Go to "Plugins" "Add New."
Search for "All-in-One WP Migration."
Install and activate the plugin.

Export Your Site:
In the WordPress dashboard, find "All-in-One WP Migration" in the sidebar.
Hover over it and select "Export."
Choose "File" as the export method.
The plugin will then compress your entire site into a single downloadable file.

Save the Exported File:
Once the export is complete, you'll be prompted to download the file.
Save this file to your computer; it contains your entire website.

Set Up a New WordPress Installation:
Install WordPress on your new server or hosting provider.
Ensure the installation matches the version of WordPress used on your old site.

Install All-in-One WP Migration on the New Site:
On your new WordPress site, install and activate the All-in-One WP Migration plugin.

Import Your Site:
In the new WordPress dashboard, go to "All-in-One WP Migration" and select "Import."
Choose the file you downloaded earlier.
The plugin will upload and unpack the file, effectively migrating your entire website.

Permalink Structure Update (Optional):
Sometimes, if the permalink structures differ between the old and new sites, you might need to update them in the new site's settings.

Search and Replace (Optional):
If your domain or site URL has changed, you might need to perform a search and replace within the database. Some plugins can assist with this.

Check Your Site:
After the import is complete, check your new site to ensure everything looks and functions as expected.
Test different pages, links, and functionalities to ensure a smooth migration.

Update DNS Records (If Changing Domain):

If you're changing your domain, update the DNS records to point to the new hosting provider.

Remember to back up your website before performing any migration, and keep in mind that specific hosting providers may have unique steps or requirements for migrating sites. Always refer to the official documentation of the All-in-One WP Migration plugin and your hosting provider for any additional details.
