We have a domain hosted in godaddy. The web-site works fine without any issues.
Now we would like to use wordpress and wordpress themes and plugin to build the web-site
How do install or deploy wordpress in godaddy?
Thanks.
In godaddy, there is an option for one click install wordpress.
Or
If you want to install wordpress manually follow the below steps :
Download and unzip the WordPress package if you haven't already.
Create a database for WordPress on your web server, as well as a MySQL (or MariaDB) user who has all privileges for accessing and modifying it.
(Optional) Find and rename wp-config-sample.php to wp-config.php, then edit the file (see Editing wp-config.php) and add your database information.
Upload the WordPress files to the desired location on your web server:
Run the WordPress installation script by accessing the URL in a web browser. This should be the URL where you uploaded the WordPress files.

I'm trying to set up a staging site for an existing WordPress site.
I've backed up the existing public_html folder through filezilla and it's about 25GB.
I've set up the subdomain on cpanel and also a new staging database.
I'm following these instructions - https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-create-staging-environment-for-a-wordpress-site/#stagingmanually
But the Duplicator plugin doesn't work on my wordpress site - I've even paid for the pro version but it fails at the Scanning part and never even gets to the Build part. I've been through the Help for Duplicator and they can't work it out either.
So ... my question is ... can I do this through cpanel and avoid the whole Wordpress dashboard completely. Can I just copy the files from the cpanel File Manager and put them into the Staging subdomain?
Or is there another way to do what I'm trying to do?
Thanks so much
Rebecca
The free version of the Duplicator plugin doesn't allow you to create a package more than 500MB, you will have to do it on two parts by migrating only the database by the plugin and zip the files on cPanel and move the manually or using FTP.
You can zip the files and upload them to the new domain and export the database and open notepad++ for example and start replacing the old URL with the new one then import the edited database to the new domain
I have to transfer my Local host edited WordPress theme to Azure WordPress.
I have edited a WordPress theme on my Local Xampp Server. After that, I got to know that to transfer my theme, I need to install a WordPress plug-in called Duplicator. I have installed and downloaded the generated files. Now, I want to transfer that theme to my newly made Azure Account WordPress
but I'm unable to do so and there is no descriptive video or post that I can find.
I can not find Azure WordPress root directory.
How to Move Your WordPress Site to Microsoft Azure: Step by Step Guide
Backup your WordPress Site with cPanel
Choose the “Full Backup” option which will include all your files and databases
Backup your WordPress Site with a Plugin
Install and activate the plugin and you will see a new menu item under “Tools” named “Backups”,click the “Settings” link and choose the “Database and Files” option.
Export Your Site Content
“Tools” > “Export” and choose “All Content” and download the Export file.
Move WordPress Content to Azure
Now you have your site backup, the content you will need to set the site up on Azure is as follows :
The /wp-content folder – This contains any uploaded images and files, your plugins and your themes
The Export file – This contains all your blog posts, comments, pages and any other content.
Upload Content Via FTP
Login to Azure portal and choose your website from the “Websites” link on the left-hand side, click your site name and the “Dashboard” and you will see a link on the bottom right named “Setup Deployment Credentials”
Enter a username and password in the popup box and these will be your FTP login credentials
Import Content- Download and import file attachment
To import your content, in the new Azure installation visit “Tools” > “Import” and select the WordPress importer from the list
Setting the Permalinks
“Settings” > “Permalinks” and choose your option there. For instance, choose “Post Name” and WordPress will create a “web.config” file for you ( on PHP hosting, the file is .htaccess )
You can follow this steps.

I downloaded a website and its respective database from Microsoft Azure using FTP with Filezilla and I want to serve it locally. I already set the environment:
MySQL
Apache
PHP
phpMyAdmin
Wordpress
What is the next step to deploy the website? Should I copy the website folder in htdocs directory?
Finally I used the plugin Duplicator of Wordpress. This plugin allows me to create a full copy of a remote Wordpress site and an installer file. Once you generate these files you just have to copy them in the web server directory (or in a subdirectory like "MyWebsite") and execute the installer with your web browser going to:
http://localhost:port/MyWebsite/installer.php
I hope this is useful to someone. Cheers!
In my localhost(xampp) wordpress themes are installed. I activate one of them And create user name and password for the wp-admin.
And I backup database and wordpress site and upload it to subdomain(live site). After upload all content will load without CSS style-sheet. And wp-admin also not working. And url as same baseurl twice.
Question is How to upload my wordpress site to my subdomian. Clear me out. Am i missing some thing??
This is pretty much what you are looking for: Moving WordPress
It´s a quite detailed manual how to move WordPress Sites/Blogs from one server to another and moving from localhost to a live server is not much different.
If you are trying to move a complete Wordpress site from one server to another I would recommend using the plugin Duplictor.
https://wordpress.org/plugins/duplicator/
Really easy to use and does the job excellent!
I do blogging a bit. I found this video tutorial, I have used this one to successfully set up a new subdomain and install Wordpress sometimes ago.
STEPS::
Use cpanel to create the subdomain
Download the latest version of wordpress to your local drive
Upload to subdomain folder on your host
Extract the files, and move them into the subdomain folder
Use cpanel DB Wizard to create a new data base
Make a note of the username, db name and db password
Copy wp-config-sample.php to wp-config.php in the subdomain folder
Edit wp-config.php to add the username, db name and db password
Open the URL "your-subdomain.your-domain.com/wp-admin/install.php"
Fill out the fields on the form and press "install wordpress"
After creating the a subdomain, use WP clone to create and install a backup of my live site into the new subdomain. The clone site allows you to verify updates before deploying them to your public site.
Hopefully the issue has resolved already, but maybe this will be of use to others.
Thanks.
If you are trying to move a complete Wordpress site and is without plugin,
copy all the wordpress files in the htdocs/project-name to the
subdomain folder.
Then export the db from phpmyadmin,open it in an editor
Change all the url of the format 'http://localhost/your-project-name'
to the subdomain link(http://eg.example.com).
Save it and import the sql file to the subdomain's db
Change the database,username,password in wp-config of the subdomain
with subdomain's db details.

Wordpress codex gives you the steps for doing this.
I have built a wordpress site locally. Now I want to host the site globally .
I already have bought a wordpress blog domain (i.e. It changed the site name from xyz.wordpress.com to xyz.org )
Now how I can transfer my local plugins and themes to xyz.org ??
Move all files with wp-admin, wp-content, wp-includes into your host.
Delete wp-config.php file.
Go to site URL EX: example.com and go through typical installation procedure.
Go to your database in your host and delete those 11 tables which have made.
Now you should export the local database and you should open it in any text editor and search and replace your local URL with new one.
Ex: localhost with example.com, then import it to your database of real server.
Now It should work.
To do this you have to go through these steps
1) Make a zip of your wordpress folder and upload to your domain.
2) Export your local database..Open it in any editor which has find and replace.now search for your local server name and replace it with your domain..For eg find this xyz.wordpress.com and replace with xyz.org in entire database
3) upload your database to live make changes in config file your db name ,username,pass
and you are live now
