Manually copying or moving a WordPress site seems so easy, but it has some pitfalls. Abby’s presentation and discussion will include the high-level concepts of why we need staging/testing sites, how to complete a migration, helpful (and unhelpful) plugins, various gotchas, and a short discussion of managed hosting services that include staging/migration features. All types of WP enthusiasts (developer, designer, webmaster, biz owner, etc) are welcome, and hopefully there’s a little something here for all levels of expertise from the beginners who don’t even have a WordPress site yet to the experts who have done many migrations already.
