Switching over everything from one wordpress to another

  • I’m new to wordpress and working on my organization’s site. The person that worked before me started working on a new website to update the look of our current site. Anyways I have updated the “new website” and I’m ready to transfer everything over to our old one. The new website has a theme and everything is ready to go.
    Is there any way to transfer everything over in one go simply? My plan is to reinstall the theme and plugins which I started but some of the plugins are giving me trouble, so I wanted to see if there was an easier way.

  • use plugin WP CLON … easy as pie

    Actually Im sorry for that answer. That is to completely clone the site over. What you ask for is for the content of the pages and post am I right?

    Use the Import and export options under tools in the dashboard. I believe to import it will guide you to download another plugin.

    If you are copying everything from the new site to the old site, there are plugins like eze008 mentioned or you can pull the wp-content folder from the new site down, as well as the database for the new site.

    Then you just copy the new database from the new site into the old site’s database and then upload and overwrite the wp-content folder.

    Whichever way you go, just make sure that you back everything up first!
