Transfer a WordPress site to Infomaniak

This guide explains how to:

• copy and migrate a WordPress site from a competitor's host to Infomaniak
• modify the domain name of a WordPress site
• back up an entire WordPress site

Preamble

• Depending on the context, instead of transferring WordPress, you can also simply:
  • change the site address (the associated domain name) very easily if you use WordPress Infomaniak (WordPress installed via WordPress & Apps in the Infomaniak Manager)
  • Duplicate a WordPress site in order to work simultaneously in a development environment, follow the Infomaniak blog article and the FAQ on this subject

Transfer a WordPress Site

with the All-in-One WP Migration extension

• read this guide (requires installing a new blank WordPress (e.g., via the Infomaniak automatic installer) to import the old site onto)

with the Duplicator extension

• read this guide (requires connecting to the hosting via FTP to send a .zip archive and a PHP file to reinstall the old site)
