# Notes on exporting/importing wordpress
Wordpress is an extremely tricky CMS to move. The local configuration assumes
the root url being at `http://localhost:8080`, but we want to publish the site
on a public, TLS protected address.
In order to do so, many steps have to be taken.
### Export the db
The database has to be exported, and all occurrences of `http://localhost:8080`
have to be replaced with the public url, including the protocol.
### Ensure that the wordpress installation knows its public url
Using wordpress provided by docker, we need to set in the production container
environment the variable
```
WORDPRESS_CONFIG_EXTRA="define( 'WP_SITEURL', '<PUBLIC_URL>' );"
```
### Configure the reverse proxy
The reverse proxy where the TLS termination happens must pass the following
header to the wordpress container
```
X-Forwarded-Proto: https
```
otherwise all the assets are served through an unencrypted connection and the
browser (rightly so), refuses to load them.
