Migrating from Bitnami to live site

    I am building my first WordPress site on my PC using the Bitnami stack and once completed and tested will migrate it to my hosting server from where I will then maintain and update it.

    URLs on my PC are of the form: https://localhost/wordpress/about/ (e.g. where ‘about’ is the page/post name)

    Similarly all internal links within the website are of that form.

    When I come to migrate to my hosting server (e.g. to https://www.mydomain.org.uk) I want all the URLs to be of the form: https://www.mydomian.org.uk/about/
    and of course all WordPress features etc. to work in that domain.

    Is that what will happen automatically when I install the package created on my local PC onto my web hosting server or are there settings I will need to adjust either before/during the creation of the package on my PC or when installing it on my hosting server?

    Thanks

  • Hey @david4ww,

    When you launch the installer you will be prompted for how you want the paths to look. Some of the quick start videos will show you what the installer screens look like if you want to see the inputs before trying to use the product.

    Hope that helps~

    Apologies for resurrecting my query but I am now very close to putting my new site online and I want to get this right. I’ve watched the various videos many times but am still unclear about one specific point. It may not be an issue at all but just incase …

    As I said in my initial post, the WordPress site on my PC (created using Bitnami stack) uses URLs of the form: https://localhost/wordpress/about/ – the /wordpress bit refers to the folder in the Bitnami stack where the site resides and the /about/ bit is a typical page.

    Now on my live site I want that page to be https://www.mydomain.com/about/ NOT https://www.mydomain.com/wordpress/about/ – i.e. no /wordpress in the site URLs.

    When I migrate, will duplicator automatically set up the URLs like that or will I have to do something in Step 3 of 4 to ensure that is what will happen (e.g. change any the fields in the New Settings section or the Options>Scan Options section so that the /wordpress bit is not used in the website URLs) and if so what settings would I need to change and to what.

    Thanks
