In this article we’ll go over how to migrate an entire Wordpress site with the Duplicator plugin. In this example, my client has a Wordpress Managed Hosting plan with Godaddy and would like to migrate his site to a AWS Lightsail Instance.

The first thing we are going to do is login to our current website via FTP (I use FileZilla for my FTP client) and download the wp-content directory.

This may take a while depending on how big your site is. Once you’ve downloaded the folder, go to your current websites WP-Admin dashboard and go to add a new plugin.
