CMS2CMS Migration Plugins: Why and How MediaWiki to WordPress Plugin | Page 14

What to Do After Migration?
1. Set appearance & description
When you migrate, your WordPress website has the default theme installed
(currently, it’s Twenty Twelve). To personalize it, set up the suitable theme and
template for your website.
Don’t forget about the tagline - by default, it says “Just another WordPress blog". To
change the tagline, go to Settings -> General in WordPress dashboard.
2. Add functionality
Install the necessary plugins, like SEO, backup, security etc. You can access
WordPress plugin directory right from your dashboard. Go to Plugins ->Add New.
Use search function or browse by tag to find the needed plugin
3. Take care of SEO

monitor your site for 404 errors and fix them
