Connection Bridge
Choosing this way of migration means the connection bridge installation. Thus,
download the connection bridge file to your local computer. The bridge file will be
saved as “cms2cms.zip”. Take the following steps:
1. Extract the files to the corresponding folder on your computer.
2. Connect to your New WordPress website via FTP. You can do it with any
type of FTP client software, one of them is FileZilla. To connect to your
website, you will need to specify your hostname, which you can find out
from your hosting provider. Then provide your FTP access login and
password.
3.
After that, right within your FTP client dashboard, open the root directory
of your New WP site. It is the top folder with the index.php file. Then, copy
the “cms2cms” folder that you’ve extracted from your bridge file previously
and paste it to the root folder.
Now when the connection bridge is already installed on your New WordPress
website, press “Verify Connection” button in the migration wizard.
Once the whole process of your website migration is complete, you can remove
the connection bridge.
