So I'm new to wordpress, and I'm managing a company's wordpress site while building another website for this company. They have paid for many plugins and themes in their wordpress account and I would like to use them for the new website. So my question is that what do I do in order to add this website from my local host to their wordpress account.
Should I just download their wordpress file into my laptop and create a new folder in that file? If so, then what?
First things first: If you're are building another website using platform other than wordpress, then you cannot use plugins and themes.
But if you're, just download the wordpress plugins and themes from old site. And then, place those to your respective themes and plugins folder. If you are working on existing site, then you may need the existing sql file to test in the identical environments along with the data. There are many plugins which can do that for you.
And most importantly, If you are going to build a website in wordpress, you should check out the wordpress basics first.

My client currently has a website on Wordpress which runs through a subdirectory (www.myclientsite.com/subdirectorysite1/). This website displays rental properties. They have asked me to create an additional website with an additional subdirectory (www.myclientsite.com/subdirectorysite2/) for a second prperty, and also create a new webpage for www.myclientsite.com which acts as a portal for the two property sites.
I have never done this before on Wordpress, and I've been exploring the possibility of using Wordpress Multisite. Does anybody have any experience with this? Or advice on what would be the best way to lay out these sites for both future page development, and daily management?
Yes, you can do this using creating a new folder 'subdirectorysite2' and then go for a fresh Wordpress installation.
If you have limited database creation access on the server, in that case, you can create a new template file on your existing WordPress theme and assign the new template to a page. After that change, the link of the page to subdirectorysite2. So that you can generate your desired URL i.e. www.myclientsite.com/subdirectorysite2/
And remember to modify .htaccess file as per your requirement.
You can use Wordpress multisite feature. https://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network
I wondering how to migrate custom theme from another wordpress to another without copying the whole wordpress...
I already tried copy the folder theme to new wordpress, but it has a lot of problem, because in the new wordpress, there is no Page as in origin wordpress.
Create some pages and see if it works.
Some themes uses plugins also, you must copy them too.
By the way, there's a dedicated stackexchange site for wordpress : https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/
You can never expect the 100% same experience on another install since there may not be the same plugins, pages, images, server settings and so on and so on. You can not even be sure your theme work on the new wordpress if the WP version is diffrent from the one you made the theme on.
I applied for a role and part of the application process requires me to build a WordPress site and make it live on a existing domain I own. This will assist the hiring company (example "WebCompany") to view and assess.
I have created the WordPress site locally and want to upload to my domain (e.g. www.mydomain.com.au) with a url extension like www.mydomain.com.au/webcompany.
Would it be as simple as just FTP the WordPress site to the root directory? Or do I need to set things up differently for it to work?
I recommend to install wordpress on your url with the same version, and use this plugin, I use it and helps even if you have info in your database, and your themes, all the stuff,
and then you have to active the plugins on the web, choose permalinks options.
WORDPRESS ALL-IN ONE PLUGIN
for the extension / what you mean really? you want wordpress on a /namefolder
because you can install wordpress in a folder and there's your extension, but if you have already wordpress installed on the public_html/ you can use multisite wordpress options.
Here is the info and I did it with this:
MultiSite Wordpress
I have a question. I have a Wordpress site that I built for a client and they were acquired and the company that bought them is shuttering the website and folding it into their existing site.
My website is based on Wordpress. I want to clone the client site and run a copy to show to potential new clients. If I have http://example.com and I wanted to put a Wordpress install inside of it at: http://example.com/demo/site or http://example.com/client_site. Is this possible? Are there any red flags or warnings that I should be worried about?
Thanks!
Yes you can do that, I have done this in serverwarrior It is an wordpress site and wooshop this is another wordpress site inside that.
Just extract the WordPress zip file inside the directory you are having your site wordpress and rename the new wordpress folder to any name you want.
I have a site with about 15 pages of content, and some 50 pages of php scripts. They are all hosted on my existing hosting which I had for a long time.
What I want to do is use a wordpress template. What will happen to the files on my current hosting? Can they stay as they are? And is the wordpress template essentially just css and some images?
Thanks!
Best is to convert the existing site to a working Wordpress theme.
Existing pages can be made into Page Templates.
If you are using custom functions, etc, you can include them into Functions.php.
Once you have a working theme, install Wordpress on the site's root directory and activate the theme.
