Move site to different URL (duplicate it)

    grandrapidstech started the conversation

    My goal is to use unified.tech as a separate site and then copy it to my current URL as well and then edit a few things(logos, a bit of content, etc,) and have two separate but similar sites, one being more of a national brand, and the other being a local brand. My current URL is grandrapids.tech (the install is on grandrapids.tech/grtechwp). I want to have two different versions of similar content.

    I first tried to install wordpress, install the theme, then child theme, export the XML file from unified.tech and import it to grandrapids.tech, but that didn't work.

    I then backed up unified.tech completely and uploaded it via FTP, but that is just causing it to connect to unified.tech because of all of the links that obviously go there.

    How would I best accomplish this?

    I haven't tried this yet, but wouldn't this give me the same problem with links all going to the copied sites urls?

    OK. So, please send us your account admin of both website, we will help check it.

    Thanks.

    So,

    How can we log in to  grandrapids.tech's to import data?

    Thanks.

    Should I replace grandrapids.tech or should I put it into grandrapids.tech/grandrapidswp and move it later? I gave you my FTP info as well so you can reinstall the theme if needed into grandrapids.tech/grandrapidswp or if we need to put it into the root of grandrapids.tech we can do that too, but it would need to be done around 8PM eastern time so I could make changes that night.

    Hi,

    We need to FTP because we only need  account admin of 2 websites. A website will export data and a website will import data. So, you only need to send us account admin of both websites.

    Thanks.

    But when log in http://www.grandrapids.tech/grtechwp/wp-admin/ , it will redirect to http://www.unified.tech/.

    How will we do?

    Right, you can reinstall via FTP... Or not? I can reinstall wordpress, but I need to know if we can move it from grandrapids.tech/grandrapidswp to grandrapids.tech after everything is edited and ready to go. Will that effect links? How does that work? I can install wordpress on grandrapids.tech if we absolutely have to, but I really dont want my site to be down for very long. Does that make sense?

    Hi,

    We will don't install it, to better you will should do it. You want to import data content from unified.tech to grandrapids.tech, so now we need to access unified.tech to export XML. And access grandrapids.tech to import XML, grandrapids.tech should be empty. 

    Did we understand right?

    Hello,

    Maybe you didn't understand our idea. You send us admin account of both the website. 

    1. unified.tech : Ok This is website need to export

    2. grandrapids.tech: Not Ok: This is website need to import. But when log in website, it will redirect to unified.tech. So they are the same.

    Now if you want to grandrapids.tech have content like unified.tech, you need to give us the website need to import should be empty and not redirect any website. 

    Do you understand?

    I did understand. I think the language barrier is the main issue here. 


    I tried to export the XML file from UNIFIED.TECH and import it to GRANDRAPIDS.TECH but the import failed. It did not import anything. It is possibly the export that is causing the issue, but my point is that it did not work. 


    I can delete my grandrapids.tech site, but I need to set up a time in which you will be importing to it so my site is not down for more than an hour. 


    I can do 10PM tonight or tomorrow Eastern Time Zone (UTC−04:00). I will have it cleared out with a fresh installation of wordpress by that time. Just let me know when. If it doesnt work, I will copy my site back over so it is not down for days.

    Hello,

    Is this necessary? Because it is dangerous. We are not sure, we will do 10PM.

    Do you have other ways?

    What are you referring to as necessary? What are you referring to as dangerous? You can do 10pm, or you are not sure you can? Do I have other ways to do what?

    Hello,

    Today, we checked your site and still redirect to unified.tech . So, we can't do it. Let us know when you are ready.

    Thanks.
