WordPress from Local to Live

    Hey there guys,

    I have this huge thing that I just can’t figure out. Right now I made a nice theme and added some content to it, but now I want to make it live for everyone to see.

    Is it possible to get my local website to the online wordpress website I made?
    Of not, is it possible to get my local website to a .tk weebsite?

    I think I know about setting up a database (I use XAMPP) but creating a user is confusing for me. What settings do I have to use? can I just make up a new nickname? What do I fill in at the box: “Host”? Is this still localhost if you put it online?

    besides, I really struggle with the wp_config php file. I guess that If I set up a new user I have to copy that information to that file (so the nickname, password and host)?

    I hope someone can help me because I am lost. this is day 3 of me trying. Ive seen so many videos now and still..

    Regards, Joyce

  • Hi Joyce,

    I recommend the Duplicator plugin by Cory Lamle. The instructions are pretty easy to follow and it’s a great solution to backup your site also.

    Hey Vickey, thanks for your reply but it is not really the solution yet (i think)

    I did use duplicator, which created an archive file and an installer. But what I have to do next is just magic to me

    Greetings, Joyce
