Comment déplacer facilement WordPress vers un nouveau domaine (sans perdre le référencement)

   When we migrate our blog to the new domain name and all the files and database gets into its new domain , how long does it take for Google to know that it has to rank this new domain?
   Also old domain names have domain authority and new domain names will take time to build a domain authority, how does seo remain unaffected if we switch to new domain?

     The 301 redirects are what tell Google to take note of the new domain. There is no specific timeline for when Google will update but as Google crawls the 301 redirects it will redirect and update your listing in search results. While your old links rank they will also redirect to the new location.

       Thanks for the reply and clarification about the query.
       I think after some time of the full setup to the new domain, isn’t it prudent to completely close the old domain and focus on new domain.
       or is it better to let 301 redirect continuously redirects to the posts and page and in the meantime when we fully satisfy that all old domain requests are redirects to new one, only then we take decision to stop old domain.

         You would want to check the analytics for the old domain, if you are still getting a good amount of traffic to that domain that is being redirected then you would keep the old domain active, if you are not getting visits to your old domain you would then look to close it.

   If you reach out to your host they can sometimes help and temporarily override their upload limits to get your files into your hosting.

   What if my file size to be uploaded is over the max 500MB, and I am using Bluehost to upload the files?

   Répondre

4. Moinuddin Waheed

   for redirecting to new domain, it is better to use the plugin itself that you have suggested i.e all in one seo which is easy to do for all with no coding knowledge people.
   And as for accessing the .htaccess file and manually changing it to redirect is somewhat only technical expertise people will look forward to.

   Hi, thank you so much for your guide. We our doing a rebranding resulting in a name change and new url. Our WP administrator will be doing the migration and 301 redirect. Aside from notifying our database and social media followers in our newsletter, I am wondering if we can create a landing page on the new site for the redirects that announces the rebranding, and then segues into the new site after a preset interval.

   • WPBeginner Support

     If you wanted to instead of redirect 1 to 1 the articles, you could certainly redirect the entire site to a landing page.

     It would depend on if anything changed on the front-end of your site but it can have a negative effect on your site’s SEO.

   How do I use FTP client to connect my domain?

   Répondre

   • WPBeginner Support

     You would not use FTP for your domain, you would want to use the tools in either your domain registrar or hosting provider.

    for how many days I need to keep the old site running. For 301 redirection

    Répondre

    • WPBeginner Support

      There is no universal answer for every site, it would depend on your site and audience but if you wanted to be safe a year is normally long enough for users who would revisit your site to see the change especially if they check your site for seasonal content.

    Hello, I hope you are doing good. How about migrating a subdomain to a completely new domain name ? For example, migrating « example.blog.com » to « example.com ».

    we still are using our existing site for some things, but not for blogs. these were migrated. we set up 301 redirects and all working smoothly but curious… after migration, with 301 redirects all set up on old server, should we unpublish the posts on old server so they no longer are on old sitemap?

    Répondre

    • WPBeginner Support

      If you plan to continue to use your old site for other uses then it would normally be best to remove the content you’ve set up redirects for.

    Hello, this article was of great help. Thanks a ton!

    But I’d to ask – since I’ve one SSL certificate, I thought I’d move the SSL from my old site to my new site. If I do move it, should it cause any errors while I redirect from my old site to new site?

    Thanks in advance!
    Manas

    Répondre

    • WPBeginner Support

      You would want to check with your hosting provider as some have methods to help prevent any errors when changing domains on the same host if they only have one SSL certificate. In general, it should not cause any issues if set up properly.

        Thanks a ton! I managed to move my site completely. Towards the end of the Search Console part, is it necessary to submit the sitemap again – because I don’t see my previous sitemap submissions on my new domain property.

        Répondre

        • WPBeginner Support

          If you haven’t submitted a sitemap for the new domain you would want to do so to help Google crawl your URLs

      Your hosting provider would not affect how your site looks, as long as there are no issues with the duplication process the site should look the same.

    I’m having a little trouble with Step 5. Notifying Google About the Change.

    When I filed the change of address (the Search Console seems to have changed since you wrote this post, but I figured out the new procedure OK), the validation failed because Google couldn’t fetch the home page for my old site.

    Répondre

    • WPBeginner Support

      Thank you for letting us know, for this situation, you would want to point Google to your new site for it to test the redirects.

    Thanks for a great tutorial!

    I’ve ran into a quirk after following all the steps.

    My site redirects everything EXCEPT the content of the home page.

    I updated the name servers about two days ago.

    I did the redirection via .htaccess.

    I’m not sure where to look to troubleshoot the issue. Any direction is appreciated. Thanks again!

    Répondre

      We would recommend checking for any caching plugins as well as reaching out to your hosting provider for the most common reasons for that issue and your hosting provider can normally take a look from their end as well.

        Following up.

        I was/am using W3 Total Cache.

        Before I migrated, I forgot to disable caching. And that caused issues.

        After the migration, I had to manually remove W3 Total Cache in order to get the new site working again.

        There was a section of caching code left over in the new .htaccess file.

        All has been good since then!

    Hi,

    Great tutorial. I have to ask about the SSL redirects since it may cause issues for domains that use cloudflare for instant.

    So while adding the code on the .htaccess file in the old website how do I add a newwebsite.com/1$ to that command ?

    Répondre

    • WPBeginner Support

      If you mean how to update your site to a new domain using a CDN like Cloudflare, we would recommend reaching out to the CDN you are using for their current methods for that kind of change.

    In the last step you mentioned « notify google about the change ».

    But what if don’t notify Google about the change, just move the website to new domain, and remove all the pages from old domain (as my website is new and doesn’t have any organic traffic)?

    Is it valid?

      You can do that if you want but you would likely take a negative hit in your search engine rankings.

    I earlier had my domain in a Wordpress site that I do not own. I developed my website there. Now, I have moved my domain to a new WordPress site that I own and also used the Export/Import option to transfer my content to the new site. However, I am having to re-design my website again.
