How to Migrate WordPress Site from Local Server to Live Server

We learn how you can move WordPress from your Local Computer to a Live Website. If you want to move that local WordPress site to a live website you can do that by following the steps. So, once you get your website live, anyone will be able to access it, just by going to your website address.

To move WordPress site from localhost to live server we will do it in just 2 Parts!

The first part is to setup a new WordPress site on a web host. So, to get our website live we need a hosting account which provides a space, for storing our website's files on the internet. For live server we need to buy the hosting and choose a domain name for your website. So, the domain name is your website's address which people can visit, to go to your site.

Next, we need to Install WordPress on our hosting account. For installing WordPress, click 'Add site' and then click 'Get started'. Select your domain and click 'next' then again click 'next'. And now you need to enter a username and password for WordPress. you will need this to login into WordPress and click install.

Now let's go to the Final Part which is to bring-in the content, from the local site to this live website. To move the content from the local site to the live website, We're going to do 3 things.

(1) First, we're going to install a plugin on both of our websites.
(2) Then, using the plugin we're going to export the contents of the local site into a file.
(3) Then finally, we're going to bring that file, into our live site.

So first, let's install the plugin on the local site. Let's go into our localhost dashboard and then go to plugins and click 'Add New'. Now, search for 'All in One' and then install this plugin, click 'install' and 'activate'. So the plugin is installed on the local site.

Next, we're going to install the same plugin on our live website. So, let's go to the WordPress dashboard And then go to plugins again click add new then search for 'All in One' and click 'install' and activate. So, now the plugin is installed on both of our websites.

Now we can go to Step 2: Which is to Export the Content of our Local Site. To export the content of our local site let's go to our localhost dashboard And then go to 'All in One WP Migration'
and click 'Export'. Now click 'Export to' and file. Now click 'download' And the content will be downloaded into a file, then click close. So now, we've got the content of our local site into a file.

Now we can go to the final step, which is to import this file into our Live website. So, let's go to our Live Site's dashboard. Go to 'All-in-One WP Migration' and click 'Import'. Now click 'Import from' and click 'file'. Now, choose the file which you've downloaded and click 'open'. Click 'Proceed' to start the import and then click 'close'. And it's done!
