migrate to replace existing site

[Iona Elwood-SmithParticipant]

Hi there I have rebuilt a site in WP and want to migrate to their host which has an existing site already attached to their domain – what do I do here?

thanks

Hi,

You will need to set up a fresh installation of WordPress on their server (either moving or removing the old site), and then follow our migration guide:

Alternatively, you can set up the fresh WordPress installation in a sub-directory, perform the migration, and then redirect the site to the WordPress location.

Best Wishes,
David N
