In this blog I will talk about the process of migrating my localhost Wordpress site online! I decided to go by the plugin route as it made more sense to me and would be the faster and easier way to upload the site online. The plugin that I chose to use was
All-in-One WP Migration where it works by exporting my wordpress files and then imports them when I'm on the host online.
At first I had some major problems with this as the website wasn't showing up, my posts and pages weren't showing anywhere either. It seems like just my plugins transfered successfully. I managed to solve a part of the problem by ecporting and importing using the wordpress tool available by default.
I still have a problem at the moment that I couldn't find the solution to with regard to my images and gallery. They are not showing up after checking the folders to make sure the images are there. I do not know what solution I could use to fix this...
The hosting company that I decided to use is Infinity Free because as the name suggests, it is a hosting company that provides free services! Also a lot of other classmates are using it and it was highly suggested alongside a few others. I am happy with what it provides and how it is to use.
The following is the link to my final hosted site:
