Whether it&#8217;s due to selling the site, handing off project management duties, or team member exits, transferring ownership is a pivot process best approached with caution.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_1_Prepare_for_the_Transfer\"><\/span>Step 1: Prepare for the Transfer<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Before starting the transfer, it&#8217;s best to prepare for the changeover: notify relevant parties (clients, customers, vendors, or team members), review user roles and permissions, and backup the site.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_2_Change_User_Roles_and_Permissions\"><\/span>Step 2: Change User Roles and Permissions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Adjust user roles and permissions to grant the new owner access to what they need. Typically, they&#8217;ll require administrator access or editor access.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_3_Transfer_Site_Ownership\"><\/span>Step 3: Transfer Site Ownership<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There are several methods: manually transferring the site files and database, exporting and importing using WordPress Export\/Import tool, or using migration plugins like Duplicator and WP Migrate DB. The latter is the most automated and reliable.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_4_Test_the_Site_in_the_New_Owner%E2%80%99s_Environment\"><\/span>Step 4: Test the Site in the New Owner&#8217;s Environment<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Test the site&#8217;s functionality, layout, and custom features to ensure they&#8217;re working correctly on the new owner&#8217;s end. Verify domain name settings and routing changes.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_5_Hand_over_the_Site\"><\/span>Step 5: Hand over the Site<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Once everything checks out, hand over the login credentials and any necessary information. Have a conversation with the new owner about expectations and responsibilities.<\/p>\n<p>Transferring ownership may be complex, but following these steps will make it smoother and efficient, with little to no disruption to the business or team.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Transferring Ownership of a WordPress Site: A Comprehensive Guide Creating a WordPress site is simple enough, but eventually, the need to transfer ownership may arise.&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":7209,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[3287],"tags":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/WORDPRESS-ULTIMATE-GUIDE-How-To-step-by-step-Tutorial.png","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9483"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9483"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9483\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7209"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9483"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9483"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9483"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
