Your videos are some of the most helpful on CZcams. When I launched my blog in 2018, I knew absolutely nothing about websites. I STRUGGLED through the tech part. Now, I LOVE the tech part and build sites for others. This video came just in time. I’m considering revamping my “beginner blog.” Thank you!
Great Video Adam! Doing a migration with Updraft is so much easier, IMHO. No downloading the files. Put Updraft in the sending site and in the Receiving site and your sending site files are all pushed to your receiving site. And Updraft handles the rest. Love it. We move hundreds of sites a year.
Howdy! Most of the time, I use Manage WP for cloning sites, but sometimes I run into issues. While I am using Updraft to manual clones, it also has problems! Learning about WPVivid alone makes this video extremely helpful. While I am a professional WordPress designer and consultant, I find tons of great info in your videos regardless if their intention is for beginners. BTW, I have a VPS, and I create staging sites the same way you do it. BTW, Manage WP now has a link checker service where you can create redirects right in the dashboard. Also, RankMath gives you redirect control for free - unlike Yoast.
One key thing is to PROTECT the subdomain folder at the server level to avoid SEO issues! Thanks anyway for the video. A good start for a beginner :) PS: I know that the Reading settings might work most of the time but I did have some feedbacks about the fact it's not 100 % bulletproof.
Just what I needed. I was trying to build a new website on the same platform as the old website and I was running into so many problems. A subdomain is the solution for me. Thank you.
Love the channel - I think you should have told them about All In One Migration - super simple migrations for free & to re-direct using hctaccess instead of a plugin. It's super easy too and doesn't require a plugin...I understand you should probably have Yoast or RankMath but personally prefer Yoast after using both on so many sites.
Thanks Adam! You've done it again. Another great video. Appreciate how simply you explain things. I try all the tools you recommend and they are so helpful. Hoping wpvivid will be the answer to my migration headaches.
Thank you very much. Your videos are always on point. And yes, I'm starting to tinker with a new design for my blog, so these steps will be very handy indeed!
Perfect timing as I'm going from a theme with its own builder to the Kadence/Elementor combo you suggest. How do you test your payment gateways (ecommerce site) before going live after restoring the new version to the old domain?
Thanks so much for this, Adam! I've been looking for the essential plug-ins/process for my first website redesign project and your tutorials really helped big time! Thank yooouuu!
I had a performing website for singing. I would like to convert it to voice lessons. I’m glad I discovered your videos. I will follow to follow through when I’m at home. would it be possible for me to show you what I have now for an evaluation, and what would you charge to that?
I really love your videos...this video came at right time, I'm in middle of revamping the site and thinking of the checklist to avoid any issues.... thankyou so much 🤘👍🙂
Hi, I appreciate your work and I personally learn many things from your videos... Kindly make a video on scrolling news/posts and linking blogger to WordPress, how can we display posts from blogger on wordpress like scrolling the title of post from blogger on wordpress website.... sorry if I am unable to clear my point...
I have a question on this for when you are restoring your newly re-designed site to your production site when WooCommerce is involved. How do you avoid losing all the transactions that have occurred on the live site when you import your new site to the production domain?
Adam, this is so helpful and timely. Especially, learning about plugin with the 301 redirect. I'm redesigning my company's website with Astra (free) and Elementor Pro, and will use the tools you recommened.
Thanks Adam very concise video i am thinking about redesigning my website and researching the process. You described pretty much everything just need to clarify few more things like 301 redirect! do i need to have redirect 301 for all urls of my website or just the one i made some changes like from "contact-us" to "contact" furthermore after repeating the same process to upload files after finish redesign what happened to the old existing website files and folders? do we have to delete them or they stay there or overwrite by the new uploads? please guide me your help really appreciated.
Great video Adam. I’m about to replace my old site later today. Question, as my new site is on a sub domain all of the permalink’s start with my sub domain. Should I set up all of the redirects from my old site before migrating using the sub-domain URL? Will this automatically change domain when I replace the website?
Right on, Adam! Just what I needed right now. Question about piecing two of suggestions together: If I switch to one of the hosts you recommend, I cannot use a staging subdomin there, because the main domain still has to point to the old host during the staged oberhaul. What to do? Rebuild the site with a dummy domain at the new host? (Local is not an option because the team and client need to chime in.) How to safely throw the switch when ready?
Thanks for the video. What do you do, if you have a WordPress page, which you only want to show visitors once a year? It could be a Halloween page, a Christmas page etc. Do you create a permanent 301 and redirect to the homepage and then remove the redirect when it is Christmas or Halloween or do you use a different redirect for that, or what will be the best way?
Question about redirects. Do you have to do a redirect for each url on your website, i.e., Home page, About, Contact, etc. or is there a way to do a global redirect for the entire site? How about blog post urls? If you have a lot of blog posts do you have to do a redirect for every one of them? Thanks
Thanks for that very helpful video. One question? I see you were migrating from a wordpress site to another wordpress site. When you installed Wordpress after setting up the subdomain, this would be the latest Wordpress version available I take it. So if your live site is on a very old version, would the new version interfere with that? Ideally they would go exist and the live site could continue until you are ready to relauch with the new site. The old wordpress version may have plugins that are no longer supported on the new version
Thanks for another great video Adam! Can you make a video explaining how to duplicate a website that is not WordPress into WordPress using astra and elementor? Thanks 🙏🏼
Maybe I am confused... Suppose I have an older site that is very popular. And I just want to update the theme? Wouldnt it be better to set up a staging site, add the new theme, make any visual corrections, and then push the site live? Why even bother with redirects?
Thanks for the video. I still wonder how to work with urls. How can I tranfer the new site to the old site and keep every page's urls to be the same as the old ones... WOuld love to see you do that in a video. May be you have done one already. Thanks for all your knwledge sharing!
wonderful video Adam but how do you sort elementor pro licence not able to be activated in staging site? i back and forth asked elementor and siteground and apparently they are passing the ball to each other...
I have a question please Adam. I want to recreate my current site which was made with html onto wordpress. Would the 301 redirects in Rankmath work for html pages as well as wordpress? Thanks for all your great videos, I've really learned a lot from you. Cheers!
Love your videos! I do have a question. I have a website that has a lot of products on them but it is NOT an Ecommerce site. What is the best way to clean it up and make it easier to use but still get all my information out to customers?
Also you made the comment about whether or not to make a copy of the site and make changes, or just start over from scratch. Which is better in your opinion if I may ask?
Excellent video Adam, thank you. When migrating / replacing a website, do you have to match the WordPress & PHP versions on each url so they are the same? I know this was important in years past.
Hi Adam, your videos are helpful thanks a lot. I hope you can reach an audience not in the US. For example I need to migrate and looking for the best plan closest to China without ICP
QUESTION: could you please do a literal whiteboard version of this -- a basic flowchart ? --- Which URL or WP-install are you on during redirection in the RankMath step? Old:Temporary URL or the New Install/URL? -- If creating a site on a Cloudways Temporary URL and then migrate to actual (or new) domain, do you need to redirect? Or, can you change the domain on the Temporary URL install without migrating? Thanks for your help!
If I create the new wordpress site in a subdomain, will the image files I've uploaded to the old wordpress website be removed when I replace the old website with the new one? Or can I use the same image links?
Hi , thanks for this super easy tutorial, Does this also work as simple with my woocmmerce and connections to sending companies and marketing mailing. Or do I have to install these later, Thanks again Henk
Great video as ever Adam and timely too as a couple of other people have said the same. I'm just looking to do a rebuild/theme transplant on a site which I built a few years back. Unfortunately however it's one of those themes you don't like from Envato market (Enfold). Good theme, back then and a good all in one solution, but I'm into Elementor now and want to rebuild. Problem I face is that the site is huge, and content gets added pretty much every day. Cant really think of a way in which to change the theme on a staging area as by the time I'd staged it, changed theme and fixed all of the formatting issues that that would bring there would have been various other posts up on the site, so tracking it all would be a nightmare - realistically its going to take months as its about 80 pages and then 4-5 years of daily posts. So a rebuild looks inevitable if I want to change theme, however what I think I'd be inclined to do is to only include posts from this year on the rebuild. Not sure how that will effect its ranking on search engines though - currently we don't massivly optimise the posts anyway as there's a lot of embedding of documents and pdfs so the onpage content wouldn't really rank high for the keywords and it's an educational site so it's not something whereby we're looking to attract customers from outside of the staff, students and parents. Would you say rebuild and only doing the last year of posts would be the way forward? Great content as ever - thanks!
Thank you for this great video! I have several issues with my current website. It was developed with a bespoke theme (using code) by a developer using WordPress. I would like to create a new one but if I migrate it would the issues I have with my actual website migrate to the new one? Thanks!
Hi! Thanks for your video! I got a question: Where should I set up the redirection? After I mirgarted the new website? Or...before? Then on the existing/old website or in the new one?
what if you're replacing an old website (like really old) that wasn't created with WordPress? Do these same steps apply? Especially the bit about redirects?
Hi Adam! Thanks for this video. I'm redesigning my website and changing the name. Do you think I should follow the steps you describe above, or just put under maintenance and revamp it.?
Great presentation Adam. What I wondered was if a site has already been set up in Google Webmaster Console and without an SSL then an SSL is purchased, does the site have to be resubmitted through Rank Math with the new https?
I have a question. Do I still to do a redirect when what I will do is just migrate from Godaddy to Siteground with the same domain name? I will use wpvivid as you have suggested in the video to migrate. Great tutorial as always.
Thanks very helpful just want to know about redirect what if we have lots of pages and posts and portfolios do we have to redirect all pages one by one or is there a method to do it at Once
That's a funny but embarrassing comment about not unchecking the Search Engine Visibility box in WordPress. I've come close to doing the same thing, but now a have my own checklist to go through before making a website live. Great video, though.
Hi Adam! Great info...my question is that I have created a new wordpress website on my local server. So you mean to simply restoring the database instead of database +files! I can get all my orders and customers on the new site?
many web host only migrate the one primary website and this leaves the beginner having to restore his subdomains on his own. what does the beginner do step by step?
I just have access to my clients dashboard , ive deleted at least 7 Themes already that had been activated . What can i download to help me ensure a solid start as we download a theme she wants to use .
Thanks Adam! I have a client with this scenario. He have a few pages that are ranking well for a keyword but the slug of those pages do not exactly match the keyword. In the new site, I'm going to make the slug exact match to the keywords and I'm going to redirect the old slug to the new pages. Is this a good idea or should I keep the old slug that doesn't shouldn't rank as well?
I want to create a complete new website with new content (but for the same domain). Does Google change one day the results with the new url configuration? What about photos? Do I have to redirect every single photo? :(
How do you make websites for people on Wordpress? Do you tell them they have to update plugins after your work is finished? I'm wanting to do some freelance work.
hey i have a question regarding redirection url from old to new one u said we have to install rabk math plugin but plz tell me where should i install this plugin . should we have to install on old wordpress site or should we have to install on new wordpress site . i mean where should we have to install rank math plugin for redirection. thank you
Hi Adam. You are my goto creator for all my website needs. Can you think of a reason why the WPvivid Backup menu tab isn't showing up on the wp dashboard menu or on the horizontal menu at the top of my wp installation? I installed and activated the plugin and it is listed as activated and installed in my plugins.
I built a learndash website, following your direction, but now i want to add in buddyboss. Do I disable learndash to install buddyboss? I'm completely lost!
Thanks again Adam! Did you ever make a video on the designing? I mean the visual tricks and laws on how make a website look good when making it completely (with a pagebuilder) by hand? I find that even copying a good design form scratch doesn't give the same satisfaction..
We also have a website that we want to redesign and overhaul, it's our church website. In fact question if I may. We also want to make our website accessible to people with disabilities. Are there any accessible themes or plugins that you can suggest. You don't have to make a video About that. I just thought I'd pick your brain and see what your thoughts are.
Hi Mark,we can fufill your needs for you! I'm a manager of very good web designers who can fufill your request within a small period of time,are you interested? We would gladly love to work with you! Looking forward to a response!,thanks
Err, My home page has an error 500, and it will not fix. I had this issue before and created a new page and replaced that page - but that was when it was not published yet, so it wasn't a big deal. Now that it is published, I don't know if I should do that. I just duplicated the home page on WP, and want to replace it simply with the old one, but keep the home page ulr -- How do I not f this up?
This seems to be for migrating website to a new domain. I want to migrate same domain and website to new hosting. I want to leave hoatgator for cloudways so how do I do that? Thanks.
Thanks but still confused for my situation. I have a full website with many pages on Wordpress and duplicated the home page to redesign it there. Now I need to kill the one original home page and make the new one go live. How should I go about this?
Thank you so much Adam. Will I still need to redirect if I did not make any changes to my links? You redirected from contact-me to www.../contact, would you have redirected if the link was not changed but remained "contact me" ?
What can I do if I want to delete the entire site but reuse the domain name? Can I simply remove it from the server and start a new domain reusing the old domain name that is no longer on the server?
Your videos are some of the most helpful on CZcams. When I launched my blog in 2018, I knew absolutely nothing about websites. I STRUGGLED through the tech part.

The 80s intro music is class.. hope it makes a come back.
Finally someone who explained it! Thank you!

I just did this. I didn’t use all the tools you recommend, but it makes me want to take a second look
What tools did you use?
Just what I needed. I was trying to build a new website on the same platform as the old website and I was running into so many problems. A subdomain is the solution for me. Thank you.

Perfect timing as I'm going from a theme with its own builder to the Kadence/Elementor combo you suggest. How do you test your payment gateways (ecommerce site) before going live after restoring the new version to the old domain?
Check if your payment gateway service has a sandbox environment.
this video couldn't have come at a perfect time! thanks for posting!!
Thanks so much for this, Adam! I've been looking for the essential plug-ins/process for my first website redesign project and your tutorials really helped big time! Thank yooouuu!
does redesign complete website affects SEO ?
That's life. I love your personality. :) And thanks for the good tips!
Loved the fact you made this video, but I was so distracted by the loud backgroundmusic.
I had a performing website for singing. I would like to convert it to voice lessons. I’m glad I discovered your videos. I will follow to follow through when I’m at home. would it be possible for me to show you what I have now for an evaluation, and what would you charge to that?

Thank You for the video sir !
Sir please make a video on configuring the Wordpress HeartBeat !
Maybe I am confused...
Suppose I have an older site that is very popular. And I just want to update the theme? Wouldnt it be better to set up a staging site, add the new theme, make any visual corrections, and then push the site live?
Why even bother with redirects?
Hello just a little question here @ 9.33 are you setting the redirection from the admin panel of the old site or from the new one ?
Thanks for the video. I still wonder how to work with urls. How can I tranfer the new site to the old site and keep every page's urls to be the same as the old ones... WOuld love to see you do that in a video. May be you have done one already.
Thanks for all your knwledge sharing!
Thank you thank you thank you! 😊
wonderful video Adam
but how do you sort elementor pro licence not able to be activated in staging site?
i back and forth asked elementor and siteground and apparently they are passing the ball to each other...
Sadly if you have a 1 site license, you can't if the domain name is public vs using Local Lightning.
I have a question please Adam. I want to recreate my current site which was made with html onto wordpress. Would the 301 redirects in Rankmath work for html pages as well as wordpress? Thanks for all your great videos, I've really learned a lot from you. Cheers!
What if there are new orders on the production website? I have the staging finished but new orders came in.
Thanks - A useful video.
Love your videos! I do have a question. I have a website that has a lot of products on them but it is NOT an Ecommerce site. What is the best way to clean it up and make it easier to use but still get all my information out to customers?
Also you made the comment about whether or not to make a copy of the site and make changes, or just start over from scratch. Which is better in your opinion if I may ask?
Excellent video Adam, thank you. When migrating / replacing a website, do you have to match the WordPress & PHP versions on each url so they are the same? I know this was important in years past.
Hi Adam, your videos are helpful thanks a lot. I hope you can reach an audience not in the US. For example I need to migrate and looking for the best plan closest to China without ICP
QUESTION: could you please do a literal whiteboard version of this -- a basic flowchart ?
---
Which URL or WP-install are you on during redirection in the RankMath step?
Old:Temporary URL or the New Install/URL?
--
If creating a site on a Cloudways Temporary URL and then migrate to actual (or new) domain, do you need to redirect? Or, can you change the domain on the Temporary URL install without migrating?
Thanks for your help!
If you have WPvivid Pro you can also use WPvivid Staging. Supper easy supper quick supper easy 😉👍
Thank you so much Sir. kindly make a tutorial on theme development and plugin development. Thanks again

If I create the new wordpress site in a subdomain, will the image files I've uploaded to the old wordpress website be removed when I replace the old website with the new one? Or can I use the same image links?

Great content as ever - thanks!
How did it go. I’m at the stage now
@wpcrafter, thanks for the info. Do I still have to apply redirection, after transferring from a yet-to-launch website to a new one?
So starting with a clean installation or making a site copy? What's a better practice?
Can I use this procedure when changing my website builder from Dreamweaver to Wordpress?
Perfect timing. Audio volume of music is sometimes SLIGHTY too high for my attention span. But like the selections!
Adam you never discussed doing it from staging ?
Thank you for this great video! I have several issues with my current website. It was developed with a bespoke theme (using code) by a developer using WordPress. I would like to create a new one but if I migrate it would the issues I have with my actual website migrate to the new one? Thanks!
Hi! Thanks for your video! I got a question: Where should I set up the redirection? After I mirgarted the new website? Or...before? Then on the existing/old website or in the new one?
u da goat
13:00 - Very very important. Keep your staging WordPress invisible for the search engine robots.
how can I do that?
what if you're replacing an old website (like really old) that wasn't created with WordPress? Do these same steps apply? Especially the bit about redirects?
Hi Adam! Thanks for this video. I'm redesigning my website and changing the name. Do you think I should follow the steps you describe above, or just put under maintenance and revamp it.?

No you don't have to. The website's URLs will be the same.
Thanks very helpful just want to know about redirect what if we have lots of pages and posts and portfolios do we have to redirect all pages one by one or is there a method to do it at Once
Redirects are only needed if the link changes. If it does change, yes you need to have them there, but I think there is an import option.
@@WPCrafter thanks got it
That's a funny but embarrassing comment about not unchecking the Search Engine Visibility box in WordPress. I've come close to doing the same thing, but now a have my own checklist to go through before making a website live. Great video, though.
My webiste is to big for WP vivid to backup! Any advice out there?
Hi Adam! Great info...my question is that I have created a new wordpress website on my local server. So you mean to simply restoring the database instead of database +files! I can get all my orders and customers on the new site?
many web host only migrate the one primary website and this leaves the beginner having to restore his subdomains on his own. what does the beginner do step by step?
I just have access to my clients dashboard , ive deleted at least 7 Themes already that had been activated . What can i download to help me ensure a solid start as we download a theme she wants to use .
Thanks Adam!
I have a client with this scenario. He have a few pages that are ranking well for a keyword but the slug of those pages do not exactly match the keyword. In the new site, I'm going to make the slug exact match to the keywords and I'm going to redirect the old slug to the new pages. Is this a good idea or should I keep the old slug that doesn't shouldn't rank as well?
when do we have to do 301 redirects? After redesigning it on Local and uploading it on Live site then we have to do 301 redirect right?
Thanks again for a great tutorial question though Which one you prefer wpvivid or all in one Migration plug-in (for Migrating)? Thanks in advance
WP Vivid does have file size limits that require to buy a pro version. Rather pricy too.
I want to create a complete new website with new content (but for the same domain). Does Google change one day the results with the new url configuration? What about photos? Do I have to redirect every single photo? :(
How do you make websites for people on Wordpress? Do you tell them they have to update plugins after your work is finished? I'm wanting to do some freelance work.

Hi Adam. You are my goto creator for all my website needs. Can you think of a reason why the WPvivid Backup menu tab isn't showing up on the wp dashboard menu or on the horizontal menu at the top of my wp installation? I installed and activated the plugin and it is listed as activated and installed in my plugins.
Everything sounds great, but what do I do with all my old blog posts? How do I get them to my new website?
Please! Suggest a theme for image and blog website.
I built a learndash website, following your direction, but now i want to add in buddyboss. Do I disable learndash to install buddyboss? I'm completely lost!
How do you set up redirects if you're using yoast instead of rank math?
you are the best
Great video! Do you recommend WP Vivid over All in One WP Migration?
Ive never had an issue with wp in one migration...
Thanks again Adam! Did you ever make a video on the designing? I mean the visual tricks and laws on how make a website look good when making it completely (with a pagebuilder) by hand? I find that even copying a good design form scratch doesn't give the same satisfaction..
How don't lose the SEO ranking after I redesign the website?
We also have a website that we want to redesign and overhaul, it's our church website. In fact question if I may. We also want to make our website accessible to people with disabilities. Are there any accessible themes or plugins that you can suggest. You don't have to make a video About that. I just thought I'd pick your brain and see what your thoughts are.

Err,
My home page has an error 500, and it will not fix.
I had this issue before and created a new page and replaced that page - but that was when it was not published yet, so it wasn't a big deal. Now that it is published, I don't know if I should do that.
I just duplicated the home page on WP, and want to replace it simply with the old one, but keep the home page ulr -- How do I not f this up?
the one part i hate about using staging is that the media files are not included when i export the whole site to xml file.
This seems to be for migrating website to a new domain. I want to migrate same domain and website to new hosting. I want to leave hoatgator for cloudways so how do I do that? Thanks.
You can use this video for that. There are 2 parts to the video.
@@WPCrafter thanks
Could you please guide my how to rectify?
Does the 301 Redirect save your google ranking, or will the rank still be lost?
Thanks but still confused for my situation. I have a full website with many pages on Wordpress and duplicated the home page to redesign it there. Now I need to kill the one original home page and make the new one go live. How should I go about this?
Thank you so much Adam. Will I still need to redirect if I did not make any changes to my links? You redirected from contact-me to www.../contact, would you have redirected if the link was not changed but remained "contact me" ?
Only if the links change :-)
@@WPCrafter Thank you!
What can I do if I want to delete the entire site but reuse the domain name? Can I simply remove it from the server and start a new domain reusing the old domain name that is no longer on the server?
