On this page we will list different methods on how to migrate from local to Templ.
Migrate with Duplicator
There are a few more steps to migrating a site with Duplicator from a local environment than from a live environment.
The trick here is to upload the Duplicator archive where a direct download is possible. In other words, Dropbox and Google Drive and similar services require the user to click "Download now"-button or similar which will not work with our Import feature.
Export Phase:
Follow our Phase 1 of our Duplicator guide and create your archive.zip file of your locally developed WordPress site.
Set up a website in the Templ Panel if you haven't already, and create a staging site.
Upload the Duplicator archive.zip file to the STAGING SITE with SFTP.
You should now have a file that you can import to the main website from your staging website. The link should look similar to this:
https://yourdomain.templweb.com/20200221_website-name_12345678_archive.zip
Import Phase:
Follow our guide on how to Import a website with Duplicator.
Paste the link to the file and start the import.
