How do I move WordPress to a new domain? Print

  • 0

The cleanest method is a migration plugin like All-in-One WP Migration or Duplicator: export the full site, install WordPress on the new domain, then import.

  1. Back up files and the database first.
  2. If moving manually, copy all files to the new domain's folder and import the database via phpMyAdmin.
  3. Update wp-config.php with the new database details if needed.
  4. Run a search-replace tool (like Better Search Replace) to change oldyourdomain.com to yourdomain.com everywhere.

Finally, update the URLs in Settings > General, flush permalinks, and clear cache. Set up redirects from the old domain if it stays online. If you need a hand, open a ticket.
