How to move WordPress from existing domain to new domain on same server
-
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 redirectmethod 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 redirecti want to do this manually. What would be the best way to address this?
Any assistance is appreciated.
