Is it possible ? If so, how to do it ?
Thank you
PS : I’m a noob with Wordpress
Get wordpress setup on a seperate hosting, depending where you are this is free.
easier/quicker than doing it locally
on the current site install plugin: all in one wordpress migration
run an export, and import it on the other wordpress site. (also install the plugin there ofc)


when doing the export make sure you use the change/replace function.
so lets say: current site: https://www.site1.com
temp hosting: https://www.blablabla.com

then in the replace you want to replace 5 things
https://www.site1.com -> https://www.blablabla.com
https://site1.com -> https://www.blablabla.com
http://www.site1.com -> https://www.blablabla.com
http://site1.com -> https://www.blablabla.com
site1.com -> blablabla.com

once you are done on blablabla, you run a export there, and do the replace function again (but ofc the otherway around)



goodluck

edit: set the site to noindex on the temp hosting, don't forget to remove it after you are done)
