How to migrate or transfer a WordPress website hosted by an external developer to our own Wordpress instance in Azure

Hi @EricRaz9

Thank you for asking this question on the **Microsoft Q&A Platform. **

The migration of WordPress is not part of Azure Scope.

However, I can recommend yo use this plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-migrate-db/. I used this plugin in the past.

Hope this helps,

To migrate a WordPress website hosted by an external developer to your own WordPress instance in Azure, you'll need to follow a few key steps. First, set up a new WordPress instance in Azure using a virtual machine or an Azure Web App. Once the Azure environment is ready, you'll want to create a database for your WordPress site and import your existing site's database into it. Next, copy your website files, including themes, plugins, and uploads, to your Azure server using an FTP client or Azure's built-in tools. Update the wp-config.php file to point to the new database in Azure. After that, you may need to make adjustments to the site's URL settings and permalinks in the WordPress dashboard to match the new Azure environment. Finally, thoroughly test your site to ensure everything is working as expected before updating your DNS records to point to your Azure instance, effectively redirecting your domain to the new hosting environment.
