My Joomla-based site lives on SiteGround, but I can no longer reach the Joomla back-end. I still have full access to the SiteGround file manager and databases, so all content is safe; I simply need someone to stand up a fresh WordPress install, migrate everything over, and make the new site look and feel exactly like the old one. Here is what I need: • Deploy WordPress in the existing SiteGround account, using the version that supports SiteGround’s built-in AI tools. • Extract all pages, posts, images, menus, modules, and any custom code from the current Joomla files/database. • Re-create the existing design, layout, navigation, and styling in WordPress so visitors experience no visual change. • Preserve all current URLs or set up 301 redirects to avoid SEO losses. • Hand over a fully working WordPress dashboard I can log into, along with brief notes on how to activate and use the SiteGround AI agents. When you’re done, I want to be able to sign into WordPress, see my familiar site exactly as before, and immediately start experimenting with the AI features.

Hi — Elias here from Miami. I understand you need to convert your Joomla site to WordPress, especially since you can’t access the Joomla back-end. This transition aims to restore control while enhancing your site's maintainability. The real challenge often lies in ensuring a smooth migration without losing data or SEO rankings. A common issue is managing the database migration and preserving all links and content. Adapting your existing site’s structure to fit WordPress can introduce complexities, particularly with custom features. My approach would involve assessing your current Joomla setup and crafting a migration plan that prioritizes data integrity and SEO. I focus on modular design, ensuring that custom functionality is easily maintainable and expandable. I have experience with similar migrations, having successfully transitioned various sites from Joomla to WordPress while maintaining performance and search rankings. A few questions to better understand the scope: Q1 – Are there specific features on your Joomla site that are critical to retain in WordPress? Q2 – What are your expectations regarding SEO during and after the migration? Q3 – Do you have a preferred timeline for the project? Happy to discuss the details and suggest the best technical approach. Looking forward to hearing from you.

Hello, I will migrate your Joomla site to WordPress on your SiteGround account, keeping the design, layout, and navigation identical so visitors notice zero difference. Every page, post, image, menu, and module will come over from your existing Joomla database and files, and I will set up 301 redirects for any URLs that change so your SEO stays intact. On a similar Joomla to WordPress migration last year, I built the new site on a staging subdomain first and only pointed the domain after the client confirmed everything matched. I will do the same here, so your live site stays up the entire time. Questions: 1) Do you know which Joomla version and template the site is running, or should I pull that from SiteGround? 2) Are there any forms, membership areas, or third-party extensions beyond the standard pages and posts? Ready to start whenever you are. Kamran

Hi there, Keeping the same look, navigation, and URLs while moving a Joomla site on SiteGround to a fresh WordPress install is very doable, especially since you still have file manager and database access. I’d handle this by first extracting the Joomla content and structure, then rebuilding the site in WordPress so the front-end matches closely, with redirects only where exact URL preservation isn’t possible. I’ve done a lot of WordPress migrations and rebuilds across 500+ projects, including work where the real job was not just moving content but recreating the site cleanly without losing SEO value. I’m comfortable working directly in hosting environments like SiteGround, and with PHP, databases, and WordPress setup, so I can take this from backup/content extraction through to launch and dashboard handover. I’d also make sure the new install is easy for you to manage, with brief notes on using SiteGround’s AI tools once the migration is complete. Based on the scope, I’d expect this to take around 1–2 weeks depending on how much Joomla-specific module/custom code needs to be replicated. One quick question: does the current Joomla site use any custom extensions or dynamic features beyond standard pages, posts, menus, and contact forms? Thanks, Srijidh

I've done Joomla-to-WordPress migrations like this before -- the key is matching the visual experience exactly so visitors notice nothing changed. My approach: pull all pages, posts, images, menus and modules from the Joomla files/database via SiteGround's file manager, rebuild the templates as a WordPress theme matching the current design pixel-for-pixel (or via a page builder if you'd prefer easier future edits), and map every existing URL with 301 redirects so your SEO rankings carry over cleanly. I'll deploy on a WordPress version compatible with SiteGround's AI tools as requested and hand over full dashboard access plus brief notes on activating the AI agents. Could you share the live Joomla URL and let me know if there are any custom extensions/functionality beyond standard pages and blog posts that need to be replicated?
