7,980 PointsMoving non-Wordpress site to Wordpress
I would like to move my non-WP site to a WP site. Are there any recommendations for how I go about doing this? The site is currently live, obviously domain has been purchased and it's being hosted.
I have never created a WP site before, but I've been watching the beginner videos, and I'm hopeful I don't have to purchase a new domain and hosting capability to make the transfer.
Can I use all of the login information I received from Web Hosting For Students when I originally purchased the ability to host?
Thanks in advance!

Courses Plus Student 1,403 PointsOk the thing is you cant directly migrate a site from html/css to wordpress. Wordpress is a content management system. the solution is you have to create a wordpress template like yours current one. then you can use the same design on wordpress. If you already an expert on html css php mysql then move on to develop custom template for wordpress. If you are not then you can use thousands of wordpress template on the web and edit them.

7,980 PointsI appreciate the information Sahriar Rahman supto! Do I have to pull down the site while I move everything over to a Wordpress template?
Sahriar Rahman supto
Courses Plus Student 1,403 Pointsyes if you want to move to WordPress then the current sites content will not migrated. After you create a template on wordpress you can publish the content via WordPress admin panel..
