Website Restoration

As specified in the prerequisites above, install a new WordPress on your Infomaniak web hosting and then:

1. Install and activate the All-in-One WP Migration plugin from the administration interface of the new WordPress (it may be necessary to use the preview URL to connect to the new site, for example if the domain is being transferred).
2. Go to the plugin's dashboard.
3. Click to import a file, in this case, the archive exported from your previous WordPress site.
   • If the archive is large, you need to increase, in the website settings, the maximum allowed size for imports on the server.
