Hey there! I am on the trial basis now for an employment. This is something that really freaks me out because I was asked to CLONE an existing niche profic classroom site (only one page and then an opt in form below). The employer is providing me some information details to log.in. Something like ftp:yourdomain@companyname.com and password, and also two types of ports FTP and SFTP. And it says I have to make the name domain name blah.com then replace all the necessary details on the existing site. I have to create a clone using WordPress. Please. Any clear instructions on how to do this? Where do I start? I've only got experience on creating a new site but not a clone wherein there's already some content to edit. Any advice will be appreciated. Thanks!
It looks like they are letting you use an ftp to create the site. The only issue I see is I dont think you can create a database using ftp. At least I never have. This is something you are required to have to run a wordpress site. I would first have them create a database and give you the username, password, and database name so you can install WP. Install wordpress on the new domain and then try to look online for a website theme that closely resembles the current site. Upload it via the admin panel in wordpress and then edit the template by going to appearance-editor. Here you can play with the php code and files to your liking. Its not a lot of info, but maybe it will help.
Thanks. Actually, I've got necessary information for ftp login. But I just need more details on it. Here's what she wanted me to do. Create a clone of this website using Wordpress. http://www.xyz.com/ Make the domain name domain.com ftp password XXXXX FTP Username: FTP Server: ftp.companyname.com FTP Server Port: xx SFTP Server Port: xxxx Wherever on the site there is “xyz.com†change this to “domain.com†on all pages. b) Wherever on the site there is “XYZ†change this to “XZY1†on all pages. --- There is already an existing that I have to edit as I understand the instruction. It's okay I know how to install WP them through an FTP but the problem is I don't have necessary data for WP login, the host etc etc. And also there is a site already. I think the theme is squeeze page.
Buddy, the information that you have passed on has all the answers and I am not sure what you are looking for. First of all all you uploading and installing the wordpress to a local machine and hosting it to check from there or on to a web hosting service provider. No matter where you are hosting once you have installed the wordpress it will ask you to create an admin ID and password or will generate one. Once your site is uploaded on wordpress all you have to do is login and then change the relevant information from there. Thats it.
