Bom dia a todos Fiz um site wordpress - elementor usando o **Local WP.** Fiz um backuo pelo LocalWP mas fica enorme. Eu pergunto…. Tem como saber exatamente as pastas que devo copiar(ou compactar) para colocar no gerenciador de arquivos da HOSTGATOR? para meu site não ficar tão grande em MB? Desde ja agradeço ---

Generally speaking, the biggest contributor to bloat and size on your site is going to be your media library (/uploads). Do you have a lot of images, video files, audio files, PDFs, etc in there? Also, are you asking about just migrating part of your site to Hostgator? As in, just migrating updates, or are you talking about moving your entire Local site up to Hostgator? ---
