I have a wordpress site with database. I need to migrate that site to windows azure. How to proceed with that. I don't want to create a new wordpress site. I need to migrate the existing site to azure
I have migrated the wordpress website from different server to Azure Web App using the plugin and it is easy and working for me.
Download the plugin WP Clone on your existing Wordpress site and, activate it and create a backup. You will get a url which you need to copy.
Second, you need to Create a new Wordpress site in an Azure Web App. Again, download the plugin WP Clone on your Azure Wordpress site and activate the plugin. Select restore the and paste the url link which you copied from your another Wordpress website.
Here are the general steps:
Create a new Wordpress site in an Azure Web App from the marketplace.
Transfer your content from the existing Wordpress site. This will involve using both FTP to transfer files and also doing a database backup and restore.
Setup your custom domain name in Azure when you're ready.

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
Im using corcel in my laravel local api, I can fetch wordpress data on my local wordpress site. When I try to change the settings to connect to a live wordpress site its not working. My question is, Is it possible? or do I need to make it both live in the same server since the wordpress site it on the shared hosting.
Yes, You have to put on a public server both wordpress and laravel, and connect them.
Currently we have a WooCommerce webshop hosted on wordpress.com. This webshop was setup as a prototype and because of its succes we want to start developing the webshop further. We don't want to change the production website directly, but we want to develop inside a closed development environment (e.g. locally using docker).
I have tried to run the webshop locally by exporting all its data using the All-in-One WP Migration plugin. Afterwards I have created a docker environment with a wordpress and a mysql container. On the wordpress container I've also installed the All-in-One WP Migration plugin and I've imported all the data. It looked like this worked fine, but after a few clicks I saw that I could not navigate to any other URL besides the homepage. I have read online that the Wordpress codebase being used on wordpress.com differs from the default codebase which can be download on wordpress.org. So I think this means the wordpress.com export file can't be imported into a default wordpress container.
Because of this I've tried to download all the files on wordpress.com using FTP and run the website myself using a php container. This also didn't work, because I can't download all the files using FTP because of the permissions. I also contacted the support of wordpress.com, and they told me they couldn't sent me the contents of these files. But without these files, I don't know how I can run the wordpress.com website locally.
I hope someone can help me with getting the wordpress.com website to run locally in a development environment. A suggestion how we can implement a workflow where we can change the webshop in a development environment and deploy the changes to our production website is also very welcome.
Edit: For now I've chosen to run my site in a docker environment and write down all the changes I make locally. When I'm satisfied with the site locally, I will repeat the changes I made earlier on the production website. I've chosen this workflow because I don't really know the structures inside Wordpress. I don't know how I can migrate the files and database tables I need to switch theme, without overwriting the database tables I want to keep (e.g. WooCommerce orders table).
Have you tried running it on a localhost? MAMP is a good option for this.

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 have created an application on Openshift adding a Wordpress cartridge which I have also installed my plugins and themes.
That is all right, but now I would like to add some custom application to my domain. I have already uploaded my custom application with "git push" to my Openshift application.
Now I realised that my default Wordpress cartridge is located in app-root/repo/php/ and my custom application is in app-deployments/current/repo/php/.
When I access my website through my browser I access my Wordpress website which is located in app-root/repo/php/ but I would to know how to also access my custom application which is in app-deployments/current/repo/php.
So when user access http://app-name-domain.rhcloud.com/ the server brings the wordpress website and when user access http://app-name-domain.rhcloud.com/my-custom-application, the server should bring him my custom application.
If you want to add another application to the same gear as your wordpress blog, then you should do a custom wordpress installation instead of using the wordpress openshift quickstart. That quickstart does some trickery in the background to download wordpress, install it, and do some symlinks to run it. You would be best off setting everything up custom in your php directory in your git repo and running it yourself the way you are describing how you want it to run.
