How Do I Manually Migrate a WordPress Site Using FTP?

If you are migrating a WordPress site from one host to another, you will likely want to use FTP to transfer files. FTP is a protocol used to transfer files between hosts.

To use FTP to migrate a WordPress site, you will first need to set up an FTP account with your new host. Once you have an FTP account set up, you can use the following steps to migrate your WordPress site using FTP:

1. Log into your new host’s FTP account and navigate to your WordPress site’s root directory (where all of the site’s files are located).

2. Download all of the files needed to migrate your WordPress site to your new host.

This includes the WordPress files, the theme files, and any plugins you need.

3. Upload the files to your new host.

Make sure to upload the files in the correct location on your new host.

4. Log out of your FTP account and log back in to your old host’s FTP account.

Rename the files that you have uploaded to your new host.

5. Delete the files that you have downloaded from your new host.

6. Test your site on your new host.

7. Done! You have successfully migrated your WordPress site using FTP.
