 * Hey, I haven’t done this for a while, but the following manual process provide
   a simple migration:
    1. Ensure local and remote WordPress versions match.
    2. Ensure you have the same themes / plugins installed in each location. You can
       upload the contents of the `wp-content` directory from local to remote to achieve
       this.
    3. Export content from the local environment via Tools → Export.
    4. Import content to the remote environment via Tools → Import.
 * That will take care of content / themes / plugins.
 * For a more comprehensive experience that includes things like settings and users
   you’ll need to export/import the entire database using a tool like PHPMyAdmin.
   It’s probably easier to use a plugin. Did you try posting in the [All-in-One WP Migration support forum](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/all-in-one-wp-migration/)?

 * Hi, WP migration Tool should have work. But it seems that if the file size is
   big (sometime if more than 200mb) it may not work as your hosting server blocks
   the bigger file upload.
 * On this situation, what I do is, I make a backup on the new site to identify 
   where wp migration tool stores its backup file. Probably it is inside wp-content
   and a folder named to it. When the backup location is identified, as I don’t 
   need current backup, delete it and upload the old sites wp migration backup file
   there via cPanel or “File manager” plugin.
 * Now, You will find the backup on wp migration tools backup page. Now, try to 
   restore from this file, and it may work as it has skipped the file upload restrictions.

 * Hello, 
   To transfer the WordPress site from local to live first, check the version
   used on both servers and update to the same version. Then on the local site download
   the customizer export plugin and go to the customizer area to export the customizer
   data from the theme, then download the widgets exporter plugin and export widgets
   from the dashboard. Then on live site download the same plugins and import the
   wie and xml files exported then after that refresh the site should be migrated
   from local to live site.
