Transferring/Migrating site with All in One WP Migration plugin

Hi I’m pretty new in working with wordpress.

I rebuilt my Wix website on a wordpress ‘staging’ site on a random domain name.

Now i am almost finished with rebuilding it on wordpress I wonder about the migration process.

If i use All-in-One WP migration to download into a file and then import it when i have my wix domain name transfered to my host, will all my plugins also work? (I am only using a few: Elementor, Amelia, Rankmath, Trustindex.io)

Also i was told i need to check that all my URL’s from old Wix website need to be the same on the wordpress for SEO purposes, but i figure i have to readjust this after the transfer is completed or can i do this in advance on my staging website?

Would really appreciate any tips from people with more experience than me, trying to prepare and understand more about this before i do it 🙂

  1. You should not need to migrate your new WordPress site anywhere, as long as you’ve set it up on a decent hosting service just leave it where it is. All you’ll need to do is point your domain name to the new server and update the domain in your WordPress settings.

    You can set up your permalink structure ahead of time to make sure that it’ll match up with your old site. Just make sure everything after the .com is the same on both sites for each page before switching.

    If your Wix site uses a simple permalink structure, like /articles/title-slug then you can easily set WordPress to follow the same pattern automatically.

    That should be done when you’re building the site, but it’s simple to update your URLs at any time – you just change the permalinks. Do it before you switch the DNS.
