I have built a wordpress site locally. Now I want to host the site globally .
I already have bought a wordpress blog domain (i.e. It changed the site name from xyz.wordpress.com to xyz.org )
Now how I can transfer my local plugins and themes to xyz.org ??

    1. Move all files with wp-admin, wp-content, wp-includes into your host.
    2. Delete wp-config.php file.
    3. Go to site URL EX: example.com and go through typical installation procedure.
    4. Go to your database in your host and delete those 11 tables which have made.
    5. Now you should export the local database and you should open it in any text editor and search and replace your local URL with new one.

    Ex: localhost with example.com, then import it to your database of real server.

    Now It should work.

  2. To do this you have to go through these steps

    1) Make a zip of your wordpress folder and upload to your domain.

    2) Export your local database..Open it in any editor which has find and replace.now search for your local server name and replace it with your domain..For eg find this xyz.wordpress.com and replace with xyz.org in entire database

    3) upload your database to live make changes in config file your db name ,username,pass

    and you are live now

  3. WordPress.org provides the open source code for WordPress that you can run on your own website, with whatever plugins you choose.

    WordPress.com provides (free) WordPress hosting, but you are limited as to what plugins and configurations you can make to your site.
