Great video. Migrate Guru does appear to be simpler than All in One. You didn’t mention if it limits site size as AIO does. Last migration I did with the AIO plugin has given me a lot of headaches.

@JJPagac Месяц назад

From the Migrate Guru Site: Built For Large Sites: Move or clone sites as large as 200 GB in a breeze. Large site migrations usually fail because of live-site server import limits.

Does this copy the site to the new host? Like if I want to test this on our production site, it won't affect the prod site correct?

@Motti_b 4 дня назад

Just used your method and it worked amazingly. Thank you for the info!! However.... EDIT: So the site looks really nice. The problem? I am locked out of the admin panel. The migration took the login credentials and migrated it too. However, even with those credentials I was not able to log in my WordPress admin. It needs to be explained what to do after the migration in order to log in.

@alexway101 Год назад

Actually, for a migration you should allow somebody to download and upload your database. When this happening behind the scenes, it will always make me nervous. So I prefer to migrate my websites without such plugins. If you don't care - sure, this solution looks good.

@steffox6362 Год назад

Thank you for the tip!!!! This sounds too good to be true! One question: how must the target server be, to which I want to move? Do I have to prepare a clean, empty wordpress installation there? I have to move a large wp installation to a customer's server soon. The problem: the customer's server is in chaos. The theme there is extremely outdated. It's teeming with error messages in the dashboard. Do i have to uninstall everything before I start the migration? Thanks for a quick note!

@TheAdminBar Год назад

No, you do not **need** to change anything. Just migrate it over. That might leave junk in the database (I'm not sure), but it will work.

But one thing it can't do - clone a live site to a local dev site (or the other way around). Their FAQ says they're working on in, but it's from 2017. I want to give them money so it can do that as easily as it moves a 5GB/50k file site from one host to another.

Thanks for the video. But isn't it a bit too simple? Hardly any website works today without the use of site passwords? This is also asked by Migration Guru. If I try without a password, there is an error. And: Isn't what you show us at the end as the "result" your source page? Of course you look exactly like that :) Isn't the landing page the second tab? but you don't show it at the end. Or have I misunderstood something?

... and migrate all the plugins with their license keys, settings and options, all the media uploads, with any membership, WooCommerce, event plugin options and uploads, custom theme options, stuff in the customizer, ACF/CPT settings, block options etc, etc. And might have to fix your imported posts in the with fix-wordpress-export-wpautop, etc. etc. Database export/import migration is easy on small sites, but not with larger sites that have lots of stuff that isn't in the database.

@@PaulMcCannWebBuilder I don't use anything that requires payment, so all I can say is that my migration went ok. But you're correct in that it will cause lots of problems.
