I'm ready to go live. What do I do?

Once you have your "development" site just the way you want it, it is time to launch your site.

  1. Log into your development site and export its contents according to WordPress's instructions.
  2. Log into your new production site and import the file created in Step 4 according to WordPress's instructions.
  3. Activate your site’s theme, plugins, and widgets.
  4. You may need to additionally export and import files in your Media Library from the development server to the production server. There are built-in tools available for this step.
  5. Verify all images and media files in your production site are using the production server URL. Images and files that are referenced using the development server URL will not be viewable by anyone outside of UB networks (i.e., the world).
