By almost every regular wordpress user, While doing this is very simple and knownI decided to share the weird tips I used to move mine blog from blog to on the server using cpanel default file 10 minutes and on data plan..
Locate file manager from the initial default display screen and click on it move your wordpress site to another directory move your wordpress site to another directory 3.
By clicking select all from the menu nav, Delete the initial things that are not necessary including index html index php from the directory and navigate to blog of your site => select everything there==> click copy to start the copying process 4.
Remove from the address to be copied to allowing it be copied to the root directory 5.
By visiting your site in this format http www, Log in to your wordpress admin dashboard mysite com blog wp-admin ==> enter your log in details and hit enter => Navigate to settings general and change the site url wordpress address to point to your directory ==> hit save and proceed to the next action 6.
N b if you visit your root site at this point without editing the permalinks any post clicked on will return error 404 ==> edit the permalinks using exactly what you used before so as to reserve your backlink pagerank => hit save and proceed to the final step 7.
Regenerate Thumbnails plugin by going to plugin -> add new -> Regenerate Thumbnails in the bar and hit enter ==> install one from the search result to restore any broken image link during the migration .
Hurray, Your site is moved, now visit your directory by entering http www yoursite com and check over and over again to confirm every thing now works fine ==> if 100% confirmed, download backup copy of blog and delete all the in there leaving the folder for the very last step. 8.
