Take asite down without losing work

  • I have been requested to take my site down due to a conflict of interests with the domain name. I need to know how to:

    1) remove the site
    2) remove the domain name

    but without losing all the work I have done to the site. I will still be launching the site but first need to create a new domain name and edit the content. As of yet I don’t have a new domain name.

    Please could someone advise how to take my site down. Thanks!

  • before doing anything, you should do a db backup
    https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Backing_Up_Your_Database

    then go rock the yoursite.com/wp-admin/export.php page, export your blog and then go party with the yournewsite.com/wp-admin/import.php page. ideally do this while your ‘conflict of interest’ site is still live and it will pull down what content (images and such) it can for you. otherwise you’ll have a far bit more customization to do via ftp. it’s not really an all inclusive answer but it’s a start.

    if you don’t have your new site quite ready for migration, you may try something like https://bamtastic.com/ to make a mirror copy of your current site. i haven’t used that tool in quite a while, but i remember it proving quite useful some time ago.
