What if someone wants to move their WordPress installation, then re-install it elsewhere in such a way that a browser doesn&#8217;t notice? In an emergency situation, such action could be necessary.<\/p>\n<p>\nOne can execute such a feat using one or more plugins, perhaps, but I wouldn&#8217;t. I&#8217;m sure most plugins work, most of the time. However, my experience is that when a plugin fails, it may do so in a spectacular way. Therefore, I don&#8217;t typically use them to solve technical challenges, although I admit that it seems a lot of people do.<\/p>\n<p>\nI found, on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=zz7Av22c5cg\">YouTube: Saad Jee Tabassam<\/a>, this how-to video for WordPress migration without a plugin, and it seems solid to me. I followed his instructions to rebuild a WordPress installation at a test site, which was a success. I had to adjust some of the instructions a bit because my installation seems to be different from the one in the video. Overall, the instructions were very helpful and enabled me to fill in the rest.<\/p>\n<p>\nSource:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\" https:\/\/www.wpzoom.com\/blog\/wordpress-statistics\/#:~:text=WordPress%20powers%2043.4%25%20of%20all,over%2030%2C000%20WordPress%20themes%20available.\">wpzoom.com<\/a><\/p>\nJack of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oracletutoring.ca\">Oracle Tutoring by Jack and Diane,<\/a> Campbell River, BC.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Self-tutoring about WordPress maintenance: the tutor mentions a resource.
