Infomaniak Releases Guide for WordPress Transfer Using Duplicator
Infomaniak has launched a new support guide detailing how users can transfer WordPress websites using the Duplicator plugin. The guide covers the entire migration process.
Infomaniak, a Swiss cloud service provider, has released a comprehensive guide for migrating WordPress websites using the Duplicator plugin. This new support resource aims to assist both experienced and novice users in effectively managing website migrations.
The instructions are broken down into clear steps, beginning with creating a full backup of the WordPress site via the Duplicator plugin, which includes the site's files and database. Users are advised to download both the installer file and the backup archive to their local machine.
The guide then outlines the preparation steps on the target hosting environment. This involves creating an FTP account and a MySQL database. Following this, the installer and archive are uploaded to the hosting server using FTP. Users are also required to note down the necessary connection details for the FTP and database servers.
Finally, the guide walks users through the restoration process of the WordPress site. Users initiate the installer via their browser and input the required database credentials. The process also allows for specifying the new domain settings for the WordPress site. The guide concludes by emphasizing the deletion of the Duplicator installer and archive files for security reasons.
Infomaniak notes that this manual transfer method will not appear directly within their management interface, unlike sites installed through their automated application options.
