Developing a WordPress
site locally can help speed up the development process. In the past, we showed
you how to install WordPress on your Windows computer using WAMP and
on Mac using MAMP. Once you have finished the
development on localhost, the next step is to move the site live. In this
article, we will show you how to move WordPress from local server to a live
site. By using this process, you would be able to migrate all of your content
(posts, pages, images, etc), themes, as well as plugins from local server to a
production site.
Before we start, we
must let you know that you can make this migration from local server to a live
site easier by using one of the two plugins: BackupBuddy orDuplicator. In this
article, we will show you how to move WordPress from local server to live site
manually, so you can learn the process. However to make the process easy for
us, we rely on BackupBuddy when
we do this on a day to day basis.
