Transferring an old site to new wordpress
-
Hi there,
I am very new to WordPress and am helping my boss transfer a website that was created some time ago. I would love to get some help migrating the site onto the most up to date WordPress platform. I have struggled to find the answer so am asking through here!
Thanks!

Hi there,
Can you tell us the URL of the site you’re working on?
When you say migrate, do you mean migrate it from one hosting provider to another, or do you mean update the WordPress version currently running on the site?
If the former, are you specifically trying to migrate the site to us on WordPress.com?

Hello!
http://www.victimsofcrimelawyers.com.au – this is the URL.
It was built on WordPress but many years ago and I am just trying to get to the most recent WordPress update!
