When you started typing in the URL area I left to go download All-in-One WP Migration. Typing info you know that we do not know does not help.

I created website on WordPress without database… I used woocoomerce theme… So now how I will host my website… Live site need the details of database… Please help me.
I got lost at the database step, video gives no info on how to attain that data.
"…FTP details, that I know youé already got ready", I don´t so what the hell what do I do?
My website size 800mb will it works for free
-please help
hi, what about when the other site is full with database, but i want to replace the new site.
This is not helpful to me. This involves so many steps, and I am likely to get confused in the process or just make a mistake and end up migrating the website incorrectly to my hosting site. I will try the All-in-One WP Migration plugin being suggested below.
That's a lot more hassle than WP All In One Migration plugin.
I can't find to url to my installer
Cool Tutorial! Thank You So Much!
brilliant! I have not tried it yet but thanks for the video. You make it look easy!
saved me so much time, thank you!
Thanks Jakson, it worked! But, I made one mistake. I wanted to copy a WP site on the same server and I did it. Now when open the original WP site, 404 File not find happen. Is it possible to fix it? I wanted to create two identical WP sites on the server.
I don't understand any of this I need help!
so why do you think i know where the ftp address is and all that? how useless. if you're going to make a tutorial you make a comprehensive one with every step, not ASSUMING we know one thing or another. useless.
I can not install this duplicator ,it wrote Not Supported , Why ?
Regarding the "local host" database input, always check with your Service Provider. I left it as "local host" and could have saved a lot of time troubleshooting should I checked first. Otherwise, thanks for the video mate.
Here, an even easier plugin, only one file, not two. All In One WP Migration.
And it's easy peasy. Yours was great too, but didn't work for me.
This link here was much easier for me. I couldn't get hold of the database info. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2JtmoYQoPMQ
