Today, we're gonna see how you can move wordpress from your
Local Computer to a Live Website
Hi guys, I'm Subhang from websitelearners.com
Now, In our previous video, I showed you,
how you can install wordpress
locally on your computer
Now if you want to move that local wordpress site
to a live website
you can do that by following the steps that
I show you in this video
So, once you get your website live,
anyone will be able to access it,
just by going to your website address
So, make sure you watch this video till the end
to learn how to do it!
Okay, So now I'm gonna show you the wordpress site
that I've build on my computer
So let's see
So, this is the site!
It has these pages
and this content
You can see that, right now, this site
is on the localhost
which means, it's on our computer
Now, to get this website live, we're gonna do it in just 2 Parts!
The first part is to setup
a new wordpress site on a webhost
So, to get our website live
we need a hosting account which provides a space,
for storing our website's files
on the internet
So to get a hosting account, let's scroll down this video
So I'm gonna scroll down,
and click this link
and, it will take you to this page
Now, this is where, we're going to buy the hosting
So let's click 'Get started'
and now, you need to choose a domain name for your website
So, the domain name is your website's address
which people can visit, to go to your site
So, I'm going to search for 'tryshirts.com'
which is the name of my website
and then click 'search'
and, as you can see, the domain name is available
so let's click 'select and continue'
and it will take you to this cart page
So you can see that we're getting our domain,
and our hosting
Now, both of these are going to be valid for 1 year
So to complete the purchase
Let's click 'register'
and, I will quickly fill this up
and click 'Create account'
Now let's add the payment method
Enter the details
and click 'next'
Now click 'complete' to make the payment
and it's done!
Okay, so now we've completed the payment & we've got our
domain & hosting
Next, we need to Install Wordpress
on our hosting account
So to install wordpress, let's click 'Add site'
and then click 'Get started'
Now just select your domain
and click 'next'
then again click 'next'
and now you need to enter a username
and password for wordpress
you will need this to login into wordpress
So I'm gonna enter my name
and password
and click install
Okay, so wordpress is installed
Now let's click 'Get started'
and then click 'No thanks'
and 'Ok'
As you can see, wordpress is now installed on 'tryshirts.com'
So, once you install wordpress
your website will now be Live
So let's check that,
We're gonna go to our browser
and then type our domain name
So, I'm going to enter 'tryshirts.com'
and press enter
As you can see, the site is working
and it has this default wordpress content
Okay! So, now let's go to the Final Part of this tutorial
which is to bring-in the content,
from the local site
to this live website
Okay!
So to move the content from the local site to
the live website,
We're going to do 3 things,
First, we're going to install a plugin on both of our websites
Then, using the plugin
we're going to export the contents of the local site into a file
Then finally, we're going to bring that file,
into our live site
So first, let's install the plugin on the local site
So, let's go into our localhost dashboard
and then go to plugins
and click 'Add New'
Now, search for 'All in One'
and then install this plugin
So, let's click 'install'
and 'activate'
Okay, So the plugin is installed on the local site
Next, we're going to install the same plugin
on our live website
So, let's go to the wordpress dashboard
on 'tryshirts.com'
And then go to plugins again
click add new
then search for 'All in One'
and click 'install'
and activate
Okay! So, now the plugin is installed on
both of our websites
So, now we can go to
Step 2: Which is to Export the Content of our Local Site
So to export the content of our local site
let's go to our localhost dashboard
And then go to 'All in One WP Migration'
and click 'Export'
Now click 'Export to'
and file
Now click 'download'
And the content will be downloaded into a file
and then click close
Okay! So now, we've got the content of our local site
into a file
So, now we can go to the final step,
which is to import this file into our Live website
So, let's go to our Live Site's dashboard
Then, go to All-in-One WP Migration
and click 'Import'
Now click 'Import from'
and click 'file'
Now, choose the file which you've downloaded
and click 'open'
Now click 'Proceed' to start the import
and then click 'close'
and it's done!
So, all our local site content has been imported into
'tryshirts.com'
So, let's check that
We'll go to 'tryshirts.com'
and reload the page
So, you can see that all the content
has moved to our live site
So, this is how you can move your wordpress site
from your computer to a live website
Now, if you want to login to your wordpress site
Just add '/login' after your site's address,
and press enter
Now to log into wordpress, you need to use your
localhost's username & password
So just enter the login details of your local site,
and then click login
Okay! So now you can start making changes to your website
and all the changes will appear on your live website
There you go!
