Some informative topics will provide easy navigation to migrate a WordPress site from a previous hosting provider.

Intro to Migrating your WordPress Site data

Ensure you have access to WordPress files as a database associated with it.

• Migrating Your WordPress Database: To transfer the database, you have to do some work, such as exporting a backup of your WordPress database, creating a NEW MySQL database, and importing the backup you created.
• Migrating WordPress Files: after migrating the WordPress site to Inmotionhosting, you need to copy or transfer all WordPress application files. The company uses FTP for this task. If you don’t have FTP credentials, then ask your previous host to provide this prior information.
• Configuring WordPress After a Migration: The next step is to update the configuration setting so recently migrated files can communicate correctly with a database.
• Correcting Image Links After a WordPress Migration: The next important step is to update URLs for images within your posts and pages. Changing the site URL will not fix images on your recent web page. The PHPMyAdmin tool will help you improve things.
• Testing Your WordPress Website After Migration: This is the last step before taking the site live. You will need to modify your host’s file on your computer.
