To start, you'll need the .zip export file that we've emailed you. Once you have it, you can upload the site files to your server environment.
- Open the zip file and import the database found in wp-content/mysql.sql to your new environment.
- You will also want to retain a copy of this file on your local computer until you are confident all content was imported correctly. After this is completed, remove this file from your server.
- Be sure to include your new site’s database credentials. These can be found in MySQL on your new host, or local environment.
- Run a search and replace on your database to update any remaining instances of (businessname).wpengine.com to your new or local host domain. You can use a search and replace plugin for this if needed.
- Lastly, it is necessary to update the Home URL & Site URL with your live domain by using this option in the Wordpress backend : https://goo.gl/5EW1Hy
