Your videos are some of the most helpful on YouTube. When I launched my blog in 2018, I knew absolutely nothing about websites. I STRUGGLED through the tech part. Now, I LOVE the tech part and build sites for others. This video came just in time. I’m considering revamping my “beginner blog.” Thank you!

Great Video Adam!
Doing a migration with Updraft is so much easier, IMHO. No downloading the files. Put Updraft in the sending site and in the Receiving site and your sending site files are all pushed to your receiving site. And Updraft handles the rest. Love it. We move hundreds of sites a year.

Finally someone who explained it! Thank you!

Howdy! Most of the time, I use Manage WP for cloning sites, but sometimes I run into issues. While I am using Updraft to manual clones, it also has problems! Learning about WPVivid alone makes this video extremely helpful. While I am a professional WordPress designer and consultant, I find tons of great info in your videos regardless if their intention is for beginners. BTW, I have a VPS, and I create staging sites the same way you do it. BTW, Manage WP now has a link checker service where you can create redirects right in the dashboard. Also, RankMath gives you redirect control for free - unlike Yoast.

this video couldn't have come at a perfect time! thanks for posting!!

[RobCLynch]

Just what I needed. I was trying to build a new website on the same platform as the old website and I was running into so many problems. A subdomain is the solution for me. Thank you.

[baguapalm]

One key thing is to PROTECT the subdomain folder at the server level to avoid SEO issues! Thanks anyway for the video. A good start for a beginner :) PS: I know that the Reading settings might work most of the time but I did have some feedbacks about the fact it's not 100 % bulletproof.

[LarryPachecoJr]

Thanks Adam! You've done it again. Another great video. Appreciate how simply you explain things. I try all the tools you recommend and they are so helpful. Hoping wpvivid will be the answer to my migration headaches.

[TrentKennelly]

I just did this. I didn’t use all the tools you recommend, but it makes me want to take a second look

[LawnCrack]

Love the channel - I think you should have told them about All In One Migration - super simple migrations for free & to re-direct using hctaccess instead of a plugin. It's super easy too and doesn't require a plugin...I understand you should probably have Yoast or RankMath but personally prefer Yoast after using both on so many sites.

[sunnyjang]

That's life. I love your personality. :) And thanks for the good tips!

[riccardo]

I had a performing website for singing. I would like to convert it to voice lessons. I’m glad I discovered your videos. I will follow to follow through when I’m at home. would it be possible for me to show you what I have now for an evaluation, and what would you charge to that?

[bethw]

Perfect timing as I'm going from a theme with its own builder to the Kadence/Elementor combo you suggest. How do you test your payment gateways (ecommerce site) before going live after restoring the new version to the old domain?

[TiffinboxTV]

Thank you very much. Your videos are always on point. And yes, I'm starting to tinker with a new design for my blog, so these steps will be very handy indeed!

[alinaseri]

well detailed. energetic performance. thank you so much.

[triciamaebantog]

Thanks so much for this, Adam! I've been looking for the essential plug-ins/process for my first website redesign project and your tutorials really helped big time! Thank yooouuu!

[ciarakavanagh]

[ankursingh]
