I have reasons to believe that the two sites are on different web servers, one managed by the WordPress guys and another managed by Starhost. I need to know if you have access to ftp on the WordPress subdomain. If you have that, the "herculean task" will be garbage collected, for sure. |

no vex oo No time to day blow big big grammer.. Na only fine babes me day follow blow grammer ![]() go to ur ftp (Public_html) zip everytin go to you mysql database export the db now go to the new host (wait u get host self?) upload the zip file to ur public_html and unzip go to my sql database wizard create a databese and import i fink thats all if u cant do it meet my oga Above Other way u can do this #Copied Step 1: Get a domain name and rent some server space To move your blog from to your own domain, you first need to have a web domain name and some server space where you’ll host that blog. Step 2: Transfer posts from to site.com Now that you have the basic infrastructure in place, let’s setup a WordPress blog. All web hosting companies offer 1-click WordPress installation so this shouldn’t be a tricky thing but make sure that you install WordPress software in a sub-directory – see instructions. Next go to your old admin dashboard, click Tools – > Export, and save the XML file to your local computer (fig. A). Now, in your new site’s WordPress admin panel, click Tools – > Import and then choose WordPress. Select the file you previously downloaded. On the next page, choose the authors, and check the box that says “Import Attachments.” Everything from your old blog, including images and other attachments, will now be automatically imported into your new WordPress.org blog. Step 3: Redirect visitors and search engines to your new blog Your new WordPress.org blog is a copy of your old site but search engines and human visitors will still land on your old site as they know nothing about the new one. Therefore we need a mechanism to redirect traffic coming to the old addresses to your new blog. This is not that difficult either. First, login to your domain registrar (the company with whom you registered the domain). Then change your domain’s DNS settings so that your domain points to servers. Important: Make sure that you write down the existing nameserver addresses, as you will need them later on. Once you have noted that information, change the DNS name servers to ns1., ns2. and ns3.. The domain registrar, in some cases, may request you confirm the change in name-servers. From your blog’s dashboard, select Upgrades -> Domains. Enter the URL of your new domain, and click “Add Domain to blog.” Then click “Map Domain” when asked to confirm that you wish to add this address to the blog. You cannot have www in the URLs and also don’t put the trailing slash. Domain mapping is a premium service and will cost you $10 per year. You can pay with either PayPal or a credit card of your choice. Once this is completed, you need to set your personal domain (abc.com) as the primary address for the blog. In your admin panel, go back to Upgrades and select Domains. Select the checkbox for the domain you just added and click Update Primary Domain. Step 4: Reverse the DNS Nameserver changes Change your web domain’s DNS servers back to the original nameserver settings. Save the changes, wait for a while and now both your personal web domain (abc.com) and the old WordPress blog (abc.) will take you to the new site. That’s it. Incoming links, search engine traffic, RSS readers, and everything else will get redirected to your new site. You will however have to renew the domain mapping upgrade from every year if you wish to keep your address redirecting* to your new site. |

@adewasco2k Try and understand what I was trying to say, Okay! Don't be foolish! "www.travellingnaija." is a subdomain hosted on a server! |
Re: Help Me Nairalanders by adewasco2k(m): 1:22am On Mar 27, 2015 |
bowofolu: Hahahaha....he is even still proud of being foolish .... Okay....its hosted on a server.... I thought it was hosted on a tree. If you don't know what you saying just STFU |
Re: Help Me Nairalanders by adewasco2k(m): 1:28am On Mar 27, 2015 |
I don't know if you guys have used hosted WordPress before ....its just like blogger....you get a free sub domain like yourname. all you can do on this type of a site/blog is front end designs on admin panel.... You don't get ftp login or what so ever except on a self hosted WordPress where you buy a host and then install WordPress on it. The op has a hosted WordPress and now what to move it to a personal host Its as simple as installing WordPress exporter plugin on the hosted and save up the site as XML file...then import that file on your new hosted WordPress site |
