Replace Existing Site

    I would like to take an existing wordpress site and replace it with a new wordpress site. Will this plugin overwrite all content upon migration? Meaning, I do not need a fresh wordpress install? Also, the domains are different and I want the old domain to remain and not be replaced by the site’s domain I am uploading.

    Hi amawebcreations,

    Only the database will be overwritten upon migration.
    We recommend you to import into a fresh WordPress installation.

    Your domains will remain as they are.

    Best,

    Doesn’t that contradict what Yani said to my previous post:

    “@chill87336

    It will replace the content on the site you are importing. All the posts, pages, users etc on beaufortchamber.org will be replaced with the ones from sksignsanddesigns.info/blog”

    Hi

    There is no contradiction – the subtlety lies in the fact that the plugin will not delete old content from your site, so you will have media files etc from the old website still stored on your hosting. They won’t display on the new site as they are not present on the new pages, posts etc.

    A clean install will mean that you won’t have any old, unused content still stored on your server.

    Kind regards
    Lesley
