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.

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 am new to wordpress and have bought udesign theme from themeforest. from my Plesk I have installed WP and then from the dashboard of WP tried to upload the theme, but failed. hence went directly to dedicated server and hosted on the root folder.
Theme started reflecting on the dashboard and I have started customization. Once site completes I need to move the site to production server. When I check PhpMyAdmin from the plesk, it shows there is no DB table. how do I copy/move the site without DB?
Can i manage site without PhpMyAdmin? like copying the entire assets to new server and it starts working automatically?
Please help me to find DB or Let me know how to work with the themes to make sure everything in right place.
Many Thanks,
Gururaj
If you’ve ever had the need to find the name of your WordPress database, then there’s an easy way to do that – simply look for it in your wp-config.php file located in the root folder of your WordPress install.
Accessing Your WP-Config.php File
If you are doing something where you need the name of your database, then I’m assuming you have access to your server.
Simply go to the main folder of your WordPress install and locate the file called wp-config.php.
Edit file and find name in:
define('db_name','your database here');
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
OR
check these tutorials for reference
1) http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-move-wordpress-from-local-server-to-live-site/
WordPress.org provides the open source code for WordPress that you can run on your own website, with whatever plugins you choose.
WordPress.com provides (free) WordPress hosting, but you are limited as to what plugins and configurations you can make to your site.

At the moment I have a WordPress installation in a subfolder of my current site (example.com/wordpress). How do I make it so that wordpress is accessible from a subdomain?
I.e. I would like wordpress to be accessible from this address: wordpress.example.com, and that all the links, posts and pages will still work flawlessly, e.g. wordpress.example.com/my-wp-post/
If it makes a difference which host one is with, I am asking specifically about 1&1.
Thank you
I am not a big fan of video tutorials, but I used this one to successfully set up a new subdomain and install wordpress.
Here is an overview of the process
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 SQL 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 I use WP clone to create and install a backup of my live site into the new subdomain. The clone site allows me to verify updates before deploying them my public site.
Hopefully the OP has resolved this issue, but maybe this will be of use to others.
I think you have 2 options.
1) Manually:
Copy your wordpress install from the subfolder of your main domain to the subdomain's folder. Using a database editing tool (of your choice) go into the wp_options table and change the option_value of the option_name 'siteurl' and 'home'.
You might have a few other options that will need editing, but they are more often than not plugin specific.
2) A little better:
Create a new wordpress install in your subdomain. Copy your plugins, themes and uploads into it. Then, install the plugin wp-migrate-db-pro from https://deliciousbrains.com/wp-migrate-db-pro/ Use this plugin to copy the database from the subfolder install to the subdomain install. This plugin will globally search and replace the URLs and Folders for you.
I've been using this plugin for a while...and it saves me hours and hours of work.
Purchase your unique URL or subdomain or wherever you want the wordpress to live from your host provider.
wordpress.example.com
coolurl.cooltimes.com
upload Wordpress to that root. /
Or define a custom folder for it;
wordpress.example.com/partywp/
NOTE: If your looking for the free (no hosting required - though less custom website friendly) wordpress with similar URL, please use wordpress.com version and you don't need to do anything.
http://wordpress.com/ is different from http://wordpress.org/
Wordpress.com is like google blogger and you simply create an account and they give you a URL - and free blogging area with small templates. You can transfer your free wordpress.com to custom wordpress.org -- if you would like to use wordpress hosting naming convention, consult wordpress.
Added:
If you are changing the location from your original install; to a different path or location. You should then uninstall the Wordpress that is elsewhere or previous, and reinstall at where you want it to currently live to avoid any wholes or errors, etc.
So, if now it must be at: wordpress.example.com -- work with your host provider (hopefully not godaddy) locate the root to this domain, and reinstall with a fresh latest version and you should be OK. If you have further DNS issues, please try to describe your question more clearly.
I've just transfered a wordpress website to another domain.
For the transfer I've made the following steps:
Copied db and changed domainnames (http://olddomain.com to http://newdomain.com)
Imported db on new host (via phpMyadmin)
Changed wp-config to match new db settings
uploaded all wp files
So the homepage works, but I can't visit the other pages. However, they are showing up in my admin page.
The way I've done this in the past and have worked for me:
1- Export db from phpMyAdmin, then replace in the .sql file all references to old domain.
2- Imported db on new host (via phpMyadmin)
3- Changed wp-config to match new db settings
4- Uploaded all wp files
5- Regenerate .htaccess file, if you are using permalinks.
(you can do this the way #Riboflavin suggests)
Also, here you can find some additional information that could help:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_The_Site_URL
If you are using permalinks you will need to regenrate them after the transfer. Go to Settings → Permalinks in your admin panel and choose the permalink option you would like to use and click Save Changes. This will regenerate the permalink portion of your .htaccess file for your new domain.
Are the links to those other pages still pointing to the old domain?
If so, you could try the Velvet Blues Update URLs plugin to update all the links in your site.
I've used this successfully in the past, but recommend that you back up your data fully before trying it yourself.
The fastest transfer from my experience is through cpanel using fantastico or something that installs wordpress quickly. The process is as following:
Install wordpress on new hosting through fantastico or similar app
Delete everything in installed directory except for wp-config
Copy everything from old wordpress data, except for wp-config
Paste/transfer all that data to the new host
Now export old database and delete tables on the new one then import from old db
Change site URL within database to new one
Using fantastico helps in setting up databases quickly and wp-config. No need to do it manually and waste time. Just make sure to leave the installed one and not transfer the old one.
The whole process takes me like 2-3 minutes, I think its the fastest once you get it.
You need just to adjust your new .htaccess by regenerating it
go to WordPress dashboard
Settings > permalinks
then save modifications
if it's work then well done else you need to manually change it :
you will find the .htaccess content after saving modification in permalinks page copy the contents and create the .htaccess file in the root directory
