    Hi @EnterpriseArchitect ,

    You can clone your Wordpress app to the new region. Remember that if you're not using a custom domain, you won't be able clone your app to the same name. If you want to keep the same yourwordpress.azurewebsites.net, then you will need take a back up of your app, delete the existing app, recreate it, and then restore your app. Another option would be to clone your app to yourwordpress-clone.azurewebsites.net, delete yourwordpress app service, and then clone yourwordpress-clone.azurewebsites.net back to yourwordpress.azurewebsites.net.
