Evening All

Ok so I have my Wordpress site locally hosted on MAMP (as advised by you clever lot) but now need to get this transferred to my host on my domain that I have purchased with Easyspace. I have tried a you tube search but keep getting poor tutorials on how to do this. Can anyone please advise me on the best way to achieve this, or point me in the direction of a good tutorial? I contacted Easyspace about one click installation but was told that this only works with new blogs and I wouldn't be able to transfer my work over. I don't want to have to start again from scratch.

Thanks in advance for your help. Oh, I'm in North Devon if anyone fancies a cuppa and walking me through it.

Easyspace, as per usual are talking out of their ass... (The amount of hassle our transferred customers have had from them is a joke)
Wordpress has 2 ways to do this...

Either export your stuff via the admin panel, as it states clearly:

Quote

All content: This will contain all of your posts, pages, comments, custom fields, terms, navigation menus and custom posts.

Then import into your hosted wordpress install...

Or, simply take your database and files, and upload / import them via your website control panel... Its really a 10 minute job...

Good luck with easyspace... From what we have seen / heard, your going to need it..

Simple way: back up your database in phpmyadmin - save it as localdb.sql (for a backup).

In your WP admin, in settings > general, change both URLs to your live domain. Export from phpmyadmin, save as livedb.sql

Create a live database on your hosting. Open it in phpmyadmin, import livedb.sql. Upload all of your WP files to your host. Finally, open wp-config.php and change the database details (DB name, username and password) to your live DB details.

I do it the same way as Renaissance as sometimes using the export/import method through Wordpress when the site is on a local host it won't actually upload the images in the media library.
