Migrating an existing WordPress site to Disoh is one of the smoothest moves you can make, because WordPress is portable. You can do it manually or with a migration plugin. This guide covers both approaches.
Option 1: Use a migration plugin (easiest) #
A migration plugin packages your whole site into a file you restore on Disoh:
- Install a reputable migration plugin on your current site.
- Export your site into a single package.
- Install WordPress on Disoh and the same plugin.
- Import the package to restore your site.
Option 2: Manual migration #
- Back up your WordPress files and export the database.
- Upload the files to Disoh and import the database.
- Update the wp-config.php with your Disoh database name, user, and password.
- Adjust the site URL if needed.
Step 3: Test before switching #
Preview the migrated site on Disoh before changing your domain, checking pages, images, and plugins all work.
Step 4: Point your domain and finish #
Switch your domain to Disoh, enable SSL, force HTTPS, and run a search-and-replace if any old URLs remain. Keep the old host live until DNS propagates.
