How to Install a Readymade WordPress Website (.wpress File Explained)
This step-by-step guide explains how to install a SiteCrafted readymade WordPress website using a .wpress file. Even if you’re a beginner, you can set up your full website in minutes with zero technical knowledge.
1
What Is a .wpress File?
Your entire website packed into one file.
A .wpress file is a complete website backup created using the All-in-One WP Migration plugin. It contains everything your website needs:
- All pages & designs
- Themes & child theme
- Plugins & settings
- Images & media
- Menus & widgets
- Custom CSS & CodeSnippets
Installing a SiteCrafted readymade WordPress website means importing this .wpress file into a fresh WordPress installation.

Step-by-Step: How to Install a .wpress Readymade Website
Follow these simple steps to import your complete site.
Step 1: Login to WordPress Dashboard
Visit yourwebsite.com/wp-admin and log in using your admin credentials.
Step 2: Install “All-in-One WP Migration” Plugin
- Go to Plugins → Add New
- Search for All-in-One WP Migration
- Install and Activate it
Step 3: Upload the Unlimited Extension (If Required)
If your .wpress file is larger than the hosting upload limit (commonly 128MB–512MB), install the Unlimited Extension.
Step 4: Start Import
- Go to All-in-One WP Migration → Import
- Click Import From → File
- Select your .wpress file
The system will process the file and restore:
- Theme & child theme
- Plugins
- Pages

Step 5: Click “Proceed” When Prompted
The import will overwrite your current website. Since we require a fresh installation, this is safe.
Step 6: Save Permalinks
After installation:
- Go to Settings → Permalinks
- Here, it will ask you to re login into the admin panel in order to save permalinks. And here are the new admin login credentials for sitecrafted readymade websites:
username: admin
password: Scws@123;Login into the admin panel with new admin credentials and then you can see the Permalinks page.
- Click Save (no need to change anything)
This ensures all pages open correctly.
