• I want to move wordpress from oldsite.com to newsite.com on same server (i use Bluehost).I searched on Google but found many different methods, all of them quite complicated actually!

    From what I have gathered it is something like:

    method 1:
    1) Export wordpress of old domain (dashboard > tools > export)
    2) Download wp-content folder from c-panel.
    3) Install wordpress in new domain.
    4) Set up WordPress address, Site url & permalink to be the same as old domain.
    5) Import wordpress to new domain. dashboard > tools > import)
    6) Overwrite wp-content folder to new domain using filezilla.
    7) Update URL using velvet blues plugin
    8) 301 redirect

    method 2:
    1) Export SQL database using phpMyadmin.
    2) Download wp-content in c-panel.
    3) Install wordpress in new domain.
    4) Import SQL database to new domain.
    5) Overwrite wp-content to new domain using filezilla.
    6) Update URL using velvet blues plugin
    7) 301 redirect

    i want to do this manually. What would be the best way to address this?
    Any assistance is appreciated.
