[Resolved] what are the steps to move a live Woo Commerce Storefront site to GP Premium

[Nancy]

I’m brand new to GP Premium. I already have a live website using the WooCommerce Storefront theme. I want to move all the content from that site to a site using GP Premium as the theme. How can I do this without disrupting anything on the Storefront theme site until I’m ready to make the GP Premium theme site live? I’m not a developer so need a simple way to accomplish this.

Hi Nancy,

The best way to do this is to create a staging site. This is a site on your server in a sub-directory, like yoursite.com/staging

Then you can build the site in that sub-directory while leaving the live site alone.

Then when it’s ready, you can move the staging site to the live directory using a plugin like Duplicator.

Some web hosting companies have staging options that make the process much easier – might be worth asking yours if it’s possible 🙂
