|  Wordpress local development question
Hi guys, I had a question about developing wordpress blogs locally on my computer. If someone wants to buy one of my sites and I want to transfer it to one of their domains, what would be the steps to take as far as the database and everything else go? Thanks. |

Wordpress can export an xml file, which saves all your posts, pages, etc. You can also just download the database and give it to the buyer. You also need to give them the theme files.

Just downloading the database is not going to work on its own. Wordpress hardcodes path locations, especially the domain name, and where the site is installed, into every Wordpress installation, and does so in a huge number of locations. You need someone who knows how to move a blog, though there might be a plugin available to do this.

It's pretty simple. Just transfer the database and WordPress installation (including theme and plugin files) to the buyer's server, and run SQL queries to fix the paths. WordPress provides step-by-step instructions: Moving WordPress « WordPress Codex |

There's actually a Wordpress plugin that does this: "Duplicator" is its name. Just search the wordpress plugin site. Its quite straightforward with Duplicator; install the plugin and follow the documentation steps. I've found it v.useful. Post back if you have questions. I might be able to help, as I've used it myself. PS: I'm not the developer, or an affiliate. Just my 2p.

Thumbs up for Duplicator here too. I use it to clone my blog onto my Mac's xampp host for testing and development. Though I do have to run a few SQL queries because my blog is installed in subfolder.
