I'm so confused. I downloaded the file but I'm not sure what to do now. I want to migrate my hosting, but I want to keep the same domain. Do I delete the old Wordpress site after I download the file?
Works perfectly online. For offline use, you may run into some errors. Check upload size of your local host.(set it to above average of your common files) Check php version of your local host.(wamp let's you change between some versions) Check execution time of your localhost.(Set it to max) All of this is in the php settings.
Hi can you only import to a refresh install or can you import over the top of the old website? I have done this recently and all old files are still there, 500 error, critical error and have had to roll back. I tried importing twice, didn't remember UN and P either and some of the images are missing. Any suggestions?
The move took me less than 5 minutes. AND I needed to contact support, expecting them to get back to me in a week or two if ever... I got an answer to my question in literally MINUTES. That was pretty awesome.
Quick and to the point how a tutorial vid should be. Liked that you skipped the 2 minutes unnecessary explanation on how to download and install the plugin!
after I clicked custom structure twice I now get this are on the website. Fatal error: Call to undefined function dslc_hf_get_header() in /nfs/c08/h03/mnt/126856/domains/greenituptreeandlawncare.ca/html/wp-content/themes/lc-blank/header.php on line 113. The difference that I didn't notice is that my custom structure only had the /%postname%/ and was missing the /index.php in front of it.
So ive bought my domain and hosting with 123 reg. I dont understand the bit about a new wordpress website? how do i do this? i created my website i just want it to go live on my hosting company
I have a problem when importing my post. Everytime I import, it just displays plain content WITHOUT FEATURED IMAGES.Kindly help me.I s there a way I can import everything including the featured images?
exactly what i was looking for. tried duplicator and wp clone and they weren't working or were too complicated! This plugin worked really great without a problem. Thank you for the great explanation!
Tons of issues, "Unable open file for reading", finally find a possible workaround via uploading the wpress file into FTP backups folder, and using the "Restore" button but wait! You have to buy the whole plugin that doesn't work to restore a backup!
Great plugin. 2 Questions. #1. How do you change the URL of the site you are importing to ? #2, is there not an option to just append the users files vs destroying the old?
great tutorial but i just have a question: After i've imported my files and clicked continue when it told me it was imported (just before updating permalinks) but its says "done activating mu-plugins" and it stays here for an hour and nothing else happens? is it due to my server or my internet? just to know if any of you guys has an answer and good luck on your projects!
Good tutorial. Seems like your plugin is missing a crucial configuration option.... different domain. As you know, WP is bound to a domain in the database. If you are migrating to a different domain, your plugin would fail would it not? Once imported, the DB would try to launch the site on the old domain. Also, on the new server, the database name, host, user & pass may be different. How does your plugin handle this?
Good point, one of my biggest concerns was that this potential issue would not be addressed. I dev. on a live server so obviously, it has a different domain from the sites that I deploy on. I've done every kind of migration imaginable, and this plugin takes the cake for quickest, easiest, cleanest and overall most efficient transfer. Needless to say, this plugin handles that aspect of the migration flawlessly.
@Ducott The plugin will replace the domains on import. It will also update the wp-content path stored in the database. Your entire database will be replaced with the website that is being imported so users will not be affected. The plugin will transfer everything under wp-content folder. wp-config.php contains your database configuration and the plugin will reuse the existing configuration without changing it.
It's pretty amazing. I built something at firstdomain.com/test-site and once the test site was ready to go live on its one domain I installed WP on new-site.com and installed the plugin and imported the test site info. It all worked fine with the new domain and everything.
When the upload part to the new website takes forever and actually just doesnt doesnt work does that mean the plugin is corrupted, the webhost has an extremely slow upload speed or what suggestion do you have?
I exported the original site (no problem). Then imported the files to the new site (seemed to work). Then I logged into my new site using the old site's credentials and saved the permalinks twice (as instructed). All the files are there on the new site. Everything seemed to work. But when I go online to the new url, the site is not there. It shows a Wordpress install; that's it. Anybody have any suggestions? Many thanks.
Does it migrate to a new domain name. I mean I have developed a wordpress website using test.mysite.com on my local VM; Now I want to host it with godaddy.com with new domain www.mysite.com; So How can I use "All in One WP Migration" plugin to fulfill my requirement. Also Does the exported files includes all my data files like pdfs, jpg etc.? Does it have a limit of 512MB only ?
All you have to do is export your site and then import it. The plugin will replace the domain name on import. The plugin will also transfer all your data file - pdfs, jpegs etc
dumb question - I am copying the new site to copy over the old site - and want the new site's username to be used, not the old site username - if I use the find and replace to do that will it work or would it go int he other direction?
Thanks for the video, a clear demonstration. Problem: Everything else looks okay, but my new site can't find the images after importing wpress backup file. They are in the library though. Any idea what I can do, not to connect each image once again? Thank you, Ellen
Trying to import a site I have on a localhost in one Mac to a diff mac's locahost. keep getting stuck at "restoring 7756... 0%" could somebody explain what is going wrong???
I have 4600 files on my existing site, and the rate it is archiving (It hasn't got to download the file yet) is going to take about 150 hours! I am not moving the theme, and there are about 50 images, the rest is all pages of text. Is this normal? I hope the internet doesn't crash during these 150 hours. any advice?
When I try to import the progress bar stays at 0.01%, it stayed that way for half an hour and never advanced. It also never asked me permission to overwrite everything. What could be wrong?
Nice video. I have one question. Is there any file size limit? I have a website was built on sub-domain, and now I want to transfer the whole website contents (all the contents: around 250 products, descriptions plus pictures). Thank you.
+Echte Meneer - Webmaker Sorry to hear that! You may want to watch another video of ours ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-mRp7qTFYKgs.html to resolve the issue.
I cannot download large backup file! The session might get expire. I was downloaded 287 MB and download was stuck. What is a solution for this issue? Is there any way to make this session unlimited? What is pre-solution for upload time? Thanks
You can use a download manager to download a backup OR you can login to your site via FTP and download the backup from wp-content/ai1wm-backups folder.
There is a something missing: how can import the exported file to the new domain if i cannot install WP on the new domain? 99 % of these plugins are unusable, confusing crap!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
