You must have to do these as everything on CloudPages depends upon the Project. If you have a project you can add a server and if you have a server you can add a website.

Setup Need to be done on CloudPages:

You have to set up a WordPress website first on CloudPages before moving your site from any other host. So please follow these steps to do so.

Deploy WordPress Website:

Deploying a WordPress site is a few-click process on CloudPages. You just have to use CloudPages WordPress Manager. Go to Deploy WordPress, provide all required information, and press the Deploy button. You can deploy WordPress using this article.

Things to do on the source of your Site (existing host):

Now this time is to do some preparation to the server from where you have to move the WordPress site. Here on this side we just need to do a little setup according to the steps and information we processed above.

Install All in one Migration Plugin:

Step 1: Log in to your current WordPress as an Administrator.

Step 2: Click on the Plugins -> Add New from the left sidebar of the admin panel.

step 3: Search All-in-one Migration and look for a plugin just like the following image and click on the Install Now button.

Step 4: After installation click on the Activate button once the plugin installation is complete.

After you install the plugin, you’ll see a message that says “Success” and a link to the plugin list.

Now, we can export data from this site and import it to any WordPress site using this plugin. So, let’s start with the export process.

Export WordPress data to file

Once the plugin is active, you will see the All-in-one WP Migration option in the left sidebar of the admin dashboard.

When you click or hover on the All-in-one WP Migration option from the left sidebar, you will see a few more sub-options. Click on the Export option in your current WordPress installation. See the following image for reference.

Now click on the EXPORT TO button, and then click on FILE.

Once you click on File the Exporting process is started and it takes some time for Exporting, Archiving Files, and exporting the database, etc.

Once the process ends you can see the following output on your screen, click on the Download button.

By clicking on the download button, you can see the download is starting in your browser or Download manager.

Once the file is properly downloaded the whole Exporting process is finished.

Import WordPress Data

After exporting now we have to import the site on the CloudPages server.

Now open access to the WP-admin dashboard (on WordPress site installed via CloudPages) and go to the All-in-One Migration-> Import option in the left menu.

You can see the import screen in your front.
