When you've finished developing a WordPress site on your local computer, you'll need to migrate it to its live server. This can be a frustrating experience for many developers—there's a lot that can go wrong along the way, and if you're not careful, you can even lose data or break another site on the server.
In this course, you'll learn all about how to migrate a WordPress site from development to live. You'll see how to migrate a site from your local computer to a remote server, from one remote server to another, and into and out of a Multisite network.
