Site migrations can be a scary thing with so many things to do and think about. We’re going to briefly talk about the progress of migrating a site from WordPress.com to a self-hosted install of WordPress. After that we’ll discuss the process of moving a self-hosted WordPress website from one host to another host. As part of the workshop’s hands-on portion we’ll experience the migration of a WordPress website from a hosted public server to your private laptop or desktop.
Prerequisites
This intermediate workshop is for anyone already comfortable with WordPress and wants know the process for moving sites from one host to another. The workshop is also aimed at site builders and maintainers who want to move sites to and from a development environment into production. You will need to arrive to the workshop with a localhost environment which allows you to run WordPress on your computer, such as MAMP. If you don’t have a laptop or a localhost set up, you will be able to use one of the computer lab’s PCs with WampServer pre-installed.
Language of Instruction
This workshop is in English and there will be bilingual TAs.
