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

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.

I am having trouble migrating a Wordpress Multisite from my local environment to a subfolder Wordpress install on the development server.
I opted for exporting the local database using WP Migrate DB Pro, which takes care of the search and replace for the base URL, and then importing the SQL file via phpmyadmin into a blank multisite on the remote dev server (I explain the steps I took in detail below).
(Note: I cannot use the WP Migrate DB Pro plugin to push the multisite because my main site is not in the server root. Delicious Brains support wrote: I can confirm that migrating between a subdirectory multisite and a subdomain multisite is still not supported by WP Migrate. This is why I am trying this method of importing the WP database directly via phpmyadmin.)
Here is the situation in the current state of the migration.
After the migration, on the user end, some things worked, and others didn’t. The “main” site of the multisite is completely intact. All pages can be viewed with all images in place. This is the English site. On the other two sites of the multisite, the French and the Spanish, all pages fail to load and go to “THE PAGE CAN’T BE FOUND. It looks like nothing was found at this location.” error page. (note: we are using the Multisite Language Switcher plugin to create a multilingual site).
On the WP Admin side, again everything works for the English site, but not for the French and Spanish sites, nor the Network Admin. The “My Sites” admin dropdown menu shows all of the subsites of the multisite as it does in the local environment. But when clicking on the French or Spanish subsite “Dashboard” links, the main site dashboard is loaded (i.e. English) not the expected French or Spanish dashboard.
There is also a problem with the Network Admin dashboard. When “Network Admin -> Dashboard” is clicked it goes to “This page isn’t working | *****.org redirected you too many times. | Try clearing your cookies. ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS”.
Note that the database import worked well. All the tables are there for all subsites. And because I simply replaced the remote /Content folder with the one from local, all the files are in place for the multisite.
These are the URLs:
main site (English): https://inrichnetwork.org/cicada10/ ;
secondary site French: cicada10/fr/
secondary site Spanish: cicada10/es/
Here are the steps that I used to migrate the multisite from the local environment to the remote development server:
Create a new WP install on remote site in a subfolder /cicada10
Make remote site a multisite by following these instructions: https://multilingualpress.org/docs/how-to-install-wordpress-multisite/
Export DB on local using WP-Migrate DB Pro “backup option” (In the migrate tab select “REPLACE ANOTHER SITE WITH THIS SITE | Export Database”. I used: “Option: Export Entire Network”; “Option: Export all tables”; Remplace: Find //cicada.local Replace with https://inrichnetwork.org/cidada10/ | Find C:\Users\User\Local Sites\cicada\app\public Replace with /home3/centrele/public_html/cicada10.)
Extract exported database .gz file to get SQL file
Create Zip of the WP /Content folder on local
Gather database information using phpmyadmin from the local WP multisite install (Get from wp_site table: domain = inrichnetwork.org / path = /cicada10/)
Drop all tables from remote DB using phpmyadmin
Import DB backup SQL file from local into empty remote DB using phpmyadmin
Rename WP /Content folder on remote and then upload Zip of /Content from local via file manager, and unzip, delete Zip file
Verify in phpmyadmin Site URL in all language wp_options(2,3) tables is https://inrichnetwork.org/cicada10
Change wp_site on phpmyadmin to table: domain = inrichnetwork.org | path = /cicada10/
Edit wp-config.php ($table_prefix = *to the prefix of remote db | Be sure that the multisite paths are correct: define( 'DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE', 'inrichnetwork.org' ); define( 'PATH_CURRENT_SITE', '/cicada10/' ))
Sign back into remote WPAdmin and refresh the page
Any help getting the secondary sites properly connected and the Network Admin working would be greatly appreciated.
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.

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.

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.
http://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_WordPress#In_a_Subdirectory
Wordpress codex gives you the steps for doing this.
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.
