You don\u2019t need a plugin to get it done. With a few careful steps, you can shift everything smoothly and keep your site working just the way it should.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>A Quick Prep Guide Before You Move Your Website<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Careful planning is needed for a successful WordPress domain migration. If you take the time to do a few important things before you start the transfer process, you can avoid a lot of problems, downtime, and data loss.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\n<h3><b>Full Backup<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The most important thing to do before changing anything on your live website is to make a full and verified backup of your entire WordPress installation including your website files (themes, plugins, media uploads, and core WordPress files) as well as your database.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\n<h3><b>Ensure Everything is Updated<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you move your website, old WordPress core files, themes, or plugins can cause problems with compatibility or make things work in ways you didn&#8217;t expect. Therefore, make sure that all parts of your WordPress website are up to date before you start the export.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\n<h3><b>Site Cleanup<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cleaning up your site before you move it will help you make your migration package smaller and speed up the transfer process. This means, remove any themes or plugins, old images or media files, and clean out old post revisions, spam comments, and temporary options by hand.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\n<h3><b>Set Up Your New Domain Before You Begin<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make sure that your new domain name is registered and your new hosting account is set up and ready to go.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Step-By-Step Moving Your Website Manually<\/b><\/h2>\n<h3><b>Step 1 &#8211;\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make backups of your website files and database and save the copy in a separate folder on a different server. Since you\u2019ve already created a backup in the preparation step, you can use that same copy here. Just make sure it\u2019s complete and easily accessible before you move ahead.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Step 2 &#8211;\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Log in via SFTP and upload your backup to the web space of your new domain. If you made your backup with File Manager, remember to unzip it before uploading.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Step 3 &#8211;\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Import your database backup using phpMyAdmin.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Step 4 &#8211;\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Depending on the database or phpMyAdmin settings where the original backup of your database was made, you might see an error message between steps 3 and 4. Go to step 5 if you don&#8217;t see any errors. If you see an error message, it usually means that the backup of your SQL database you&#8217;re trying to import has references to either the old database name or the old database username, and you need to update those references.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you see this error, open your database backup file in a plain text or code editor like Notepad or VS Code. Avoid tools like MS Word, as they can mess up the file and cause issues.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Go through the text file and update any old database name or username with the new. And then save the updated database backup file.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Try to import the above updated SQL file again by repeating step 3 as described before.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Please get in touch with your support team if you still get an error message. Or else, you can move on to step 5 if you don&#8217;t see an error message.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><b>Step 5 &#8211;\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After importing your database, find the table ending with <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">_options<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> on the left and open it.
