Davood, apologies for the delay in getting back to you. After doing all that I thought was needed the site still did not work and I had to call on my hosting provider to sort out some problems with the database transfer which was quickly sorted, but I had then to contact the theme provider several times over a number of weeks to sort out various problems that arose. In the end, they had to update the theme a couple of times to get it sorted. Thanks for your help hopefully I have learned some tips that will enable me to do another transfer a bit more easily than this one.

I have already backed up my database and all my wp files from both sites. I think deleting all wp files and database from xxx.com and then uploading all wp files and database from yyy.com backups and making some minor tweaks in wp-config I should have a new xxx.com site. do you think thats the way to go? You do say at the beginning of your reply ‘YES AND NO’ so I assume you have done this already Larry * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Moving WP](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/moving-wp-5/) * [carolan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/carolan/) * (@carolan) * [7 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/moving-wp-5/#post-11437417) * I have an old wp site e.g. xxx.com. I have built a new wp site yyy.com. I want to move yyy.com to xxx.com so that it is now xxx.com. Is it a simple matter of deleting existing xxx.com wp files and database and installing yyy.com files and databasecom * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [html and css](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/html-and-css-1/) * Thread Starter [carolan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/carolan/) * (@carolan) * [11 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/html-and-css-1/#post-5322590) * Thanks for reply but I do not understand the question.

I assume I have to create a custom page to do this but if I can link to my directory.html page and directory.css from my wp site nav bar then thats the way I will go but I do not have the knowledge to do this.

I am fairly new to all this and what I was looking for was a step by step method to do what I am trying to do. As I said in my first post I have already spent months trying to figure this out and am just about ready to give up.

I have since removed the usb and used a C: installed version of xampp. It worked first time as per instructions I had been following. Happy with that for the moment but curious as to what was happening. Possible conflict with both versions of xampp installed, e.g. on usb and on c: drive. Even though I had xampp turned off on c: when I was trying usb. Will try and resolve later, I have spent enough time trying to get it to work on usb for the moment. Thanks for the reply.
