    Hey,

    After I installed WordPress on my computer, created a site using the administration interface of wordpress and uploaded all the files to an external server – If I want to update the site (add another page, update an existing page and etc.), I need to delete and upload all the files from the computer to the server again? Or is there another way?

    Thank you in advance,
    Yuval

    How can I do that? Do I need to install wordpress on the external server? If so, then how?

    Did you just copy files or did you install WordPress?

    Installed, and after doing some changes on the local host I want to update it on the external server.

    Synchronizing a dev site and a live site is not easy. Did you change content or files?

    Yes? Yes what? If you changed both, upload the changed files and then update posts/pages/etc.

    Sorry I didn’t understand you, I meant content. My question is how do I update the posts, pages and etc?

    You edit them on the live site, not on the dev site. If you want to create a work flow where all work is done on a test site then migrated to a live one, then there are tools, but it’s a complex arrangement.
