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:

  1. Follow our Phase 1 of our Duplicator guide and create your archive.zip file of your locally developed WordPress site.

  2. Set up a website in the Templ Panel if you haven't already, and create a staging site.

  3. 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:

  1. Follow our guide on how to Import a website with Duplicator. 

  2. Paste the link to the file and start the import.


Alternatives to Duplicator

  1. Let us migrate for you. All we need is access to a zip file with the WordPress files and database, then we can take care of the rest from there.
