This guide explains how to transfer a website on which WordPress is installed, using one of its extensions, All-in-One WP Migration.

Prerequisites

• Order a Web Hosting / Cloud Server if you don't already have one.
• Create a site on your new hosting by choosing to install Infomaniak WordPress (this option is offered when adding a site - you can also install a WordPress site after creating a blank site).

Complete backup of the WordPress site

To back up all the files and the database of an existing WordPress site:

1. Install and then activate the All-in-One WP Migration extension from the administration interface of the current site's WordPress.
2. Go to the dashboard of the newly installed extension.
3. Click on Export.

4. Download the exported archive:

Site 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 extension 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 dashboard of the newly installed extension.
3. Click to import a file, in this case, the exported archive from your previous WordPress site.
   • If the archive is large, you need to increase, in the website settings, the value of the maximum size allowed for imports on the server.
4. Once the site has been re-imported, reconfigure the main site address on the Infomaniak side.
5. When possible (for example, after the domain name transfer is complete), install an SSL certificate and check point 4 above again to select the httpS:// address.
