How Do I Move an Existing Website to WordPress?

Before you start moving an existing website to WordPress, you’ll need to make a few decisions. First, you’ll need to decide whether you want to move the entire website or just selected content.

If you only want to move selected content, you can use a plugin like Export WordPress Content to HTML and Epub to export your content to HTML and ePub files, which you can then import to WordPress.

If you want to move the entire website, you’ll need to create a WordPress theme and install it on your server. Then, you’ll need to copy the website’s content and files to the theme’s directory.

You can use a plugin like WP Migrate Theme to help you do this.

Once you’ve moved the content and files, you’ll need to configure the WordPress site to use the new theme. You can do this by entering the theme’s settings in the WordPress admin area or by using a plugin like WP Migrate Theme to automatically configure the site.

Finally, you’ll need to update the website’s content and files to match the new theme. You can do this using a plugin like WP Migrate Content, or you can manually update the content using a text editor and the website’s URL.

Once you’ve completed these steps, your website will be using the new WordPress theme and content, and you’ll be able to continue using the same domain name and hosting provider.
