Documentation of necessary steps for uploading a WordPress site.

Workflow

  • Upload the WordPress files
    • The optimal way is to put the WordPress directory in a tarball, upload, and extract. This requires SSH on the remote server.
    • Take care to include media uploads ([WP_ROOT]/wp-content/uploads/)
  • Export the staging WordPress database.
    • PhpMyAdmin on local machine.
    • My_WP_Database > Export > Default settings > save as .SQL file
  • Import the staging WordPress database.
