Staging Site Migration

[webmaster301Participant]

In the following thread “David” mentions that the Migrator tool can be used to migrate a staging site back to the live site. Would you have a link that steps the user through the process?

There’s a lot of great YouTube videos with Step-By-Step instructions, depending on which method you want to use.

Check this one out:

Depending on bandwidth and other variables your hosting site allows, I would probably suggest that you just:
1. Use UpdraftPlus to back up your source site (The site you are moving) then
2. Download the backups (Database, Themes, Plugins, Uploads & Others) to your workstation.
3. “IMPORT” the backups from your workstation into the destination site (The site you are migrating to.)
4. After the backups import successfully, refresh to see them if necessary them just select “Restore” and follow the instructions from there.

I am just a customer of the product so DO check out the YouTube videos, which is what I did.

Hi,

In addition to the videos, we also have a step-by-step guide for migrating, with several different transfer methods explained:
