Seamless WordPress Backend Migration

Job ID: 40028635

Budget: $30 – $250 USD

I’m moving my WordPress installation to a new server under the same hosting provider and need someone to handle the full backend migration for me. The task covers every file and setting that keeps the site running—database tables, plugin folders, media uploads, theme files, wp-config, .htaccess—everything.

The domain will not change, so once the copy lands on the new machine all internal links and permalinks should continue to work exactly as they do now. Whether the site stays live or briefly goes offline isn’t critical; what matters is that the transition is smooth and the final environment is stable.

You’ll have access to the current and destination servers (both cPanel with SSH and phpMyAdmin available). After copying and importing the MySQL database, migrating the wp-content directory, and updating any path references, I’d like you to run a quick round of validation: visit a few pages, open the admin dashboard, and confirm that all plugins load without errors.

Deliverables
• Complete copy of site running on the new server
• Verification that database connections, plugins, and media assets function normally
• Brief hand-off note describing the steps taken and any settings changed

If you have experience moving WordPress sites via cPanel, WP-CLI, or similar tools and can wrap this up efficiently, let’s get started.
