 * Khevel,
 * To complement James’ post, and assuming your site is hosted on a common shared
   hosting setup where you have cPanel and File Manager access, see if the “Choice
   1” instructions in this article are helpful to you:
 * [https://www.ostraining.com/blog/wordpress/disable-a-wordpress-plugin/](https://www.ostraining.com/blog/wordpress/disable-a-wordpress-plugin/)
 * That will deactivate Tierra’s Billboard Manager. You should then be able to log
   back into your site and delete the plugin from there.
 * If that doesn’t work out, you may have to consider getting professional assistance.
   Try asking your hosting provider for help and see if they will remove the plugin
   for you.

 * You go into the root content folder of drjanicestuart.com and remove all the 
   content from it, then upload the Duplicator archive and installer.php to that
   folder.
 * The path to the root content folder is usually something like:
 * 1.) drjanicestuart.com/public_html/
    -OR- 2.) drjanicestuart.com/htdocs/
 * So, if you have a folder inside drjanicestuart.com called public_html or htdocs,
   check that it contains such things as wp-content, wp-admin, wp-includes, wp-config.
   php and possibly even wp-config-sample.php and/or .htaccess.
 * If it has those folders and file(s), then that’s where you want to delete everything
   and upload the Duplicator package.
 * Let us know how you fare along.

 * As bdbrown suggests above, cPanel is not necessary if you are able to upload 
   files to the destination website’s public_html (or equivalent thereof) directory.

 * You don’t have to change the WordPress Address and Site Address when using Duplicator.
   As part of creating the package of the demo site, you will input the new URL 
   that you want Duplicator to install the site under, and it will handle everything
   else, including database entries.
 * You should not lose any SEO ranking, unless your redesigned site impacts your
   site’s SEO performance. In my experience, indexed pages will remain unchanged
   if the pages and navigation structure are the same on the new site.

 * I second bdbrown’s suggestion of using Duplicator.
 * You may find this step-by-step process I wrote to another user helpful, as their
   situation is similar to yours:

 * Ah, don’t worry, you’re just getting started. I’ve been there as well. Confusion
   is part of the job in this field as we’re constantly on our toes learning new
   tricks. Stick with it and you’ll get there.
 * Let me also say that I learned about using each of those tools one at a time,
   and either weeks or months apart, because I wasn’t introduced to all of them 
   at once like you have been here. So don’t hesitate to take your time. 🙂

 * Doesn’t seem like your site enables us to see the page ID via developer console
   inspection.
 * Can you go to the WYSIWYG backend editor of the page and copy/paste the URL you
   see?
 * It’ll look something like this: boomerbalancebikes.co.uk/wp-admin/post.php?**
   post=13377**&action=edit
 * The “post=13377” denotes the page ID.
 * I’m able to remove the menu via my browser, but I’ll need the ID (put in bold
   in above URL), to target the sales offer page and see if I can help you reproduce
   the same result.

 * No problem!
 * The webinar course will definitely show you some methods of getting each of these
   things done.
 * But to give you a basic idea, here’s a process you can use (you’ll learn all 
   the git steps once you dive into git):
    1. Set up your local site with DesktopServer (or download and import the live site
       into DesktopServer)
    2. Create an online repository on BitBucket/GitHub/GitLab that will contain the
       files you’re going to be working on (this will usually be theme and plugin folders)
    3. Clone the repository’s master branch to the respective local folder (let’s say
       a specific theme folder) you’ll be working on
    4. Add and push the local files to the online repository you have connected to (
       by cloning in step 3)
    5. Begin working on your local development files and submitting the changes to 
       the online repository so other people can access the same files. Then you just
       keep track of when the other person has made changes which you can sync down
       to replace the respective local files
    6. Once done and tested, you just use Duplicator (or paid version of DesktopServer)
       to move your local site to the live site
 * Of course, one additional step you may consider, is creating a staging WordPress
   site on the same live server that the production site is on (you can use a subdomain
   like ‘staging.example.com’ for this). Move your local site to staging first, 
   test that everything works on the live server, then move from staging to production
   site. This is to minimize any risk that the production site breaks when your 
   local changes are applied.
 * So, with DesktopServer, Duplicator, and WP Migrate DB Pro, there are different
   ways you will be able to go about moving your sites (or just syncing database
   tables and/or files) back and forth. As you get comfortable with each of these
   tools, you’ll eventually figure out your own workflow.
 * There are also more involved methods of deploying directly from git (on your 
   local machine) or an online repository, to the live server. This is something
   you can optionally explore in the future.
 * And don’t worry about git, it’s really easy to use once you’ve been shown how
   to do it and know the most essential commands.
 * All this is a mouthful, but just take it one bit at a time. 🙂
