How can I move one of the 3 free sites to local development with shipper?

Hi,

How can I move the above listed site to local development with shipper?

I want to develop it offline and then upload/deploy it to another host.

I feel it is going a little slow on the free hosting at the moment and the header collapses and things get compressed in a weird way periodically.

So I thought local development might be a good idea.

Thanks

Mike

    Hi Mike,

    You should be able to move the site to your local server easily with Shipper Pro plugin. At first, please install a local server (e.g. XAMPP, MAMP, Flywheel Locat etc.). Then install WordPress on your local server. After that, install Shipper Pro on both your local and the hosting site. When Shipper Pro is activated on both sites, please go to your local WordPress Dashboard > Shipper > Migration > Import section and select your hosting site URL. Then click on the next button and follow the instructions.

    When you are done developing your site locally, you can then select the Export option in shipper to migrate it back to live server.

    You will get Shipper Pro usage documentation here: https://wpmudev.com/docs/wpmu-dev-plugins/shipper/

    I believe this will help. Please let us know if you have any confusion or any further query. We will be very glad to help further.

    Regards,
