Migrating single plugins

  • Hi community,
    I have a website that has a technical problem that I cannot locate. It is run on a server with rather restricting settings, it is big, it uses many plugins… Not even the support of one of the PRO-plugins that are used by the site, could localize the problem. But nevertheless, he had a suggestion. He proposed to install a fresh wordpress in a testing-area and to migrate the website piece by piece until the problem is located. (first the theme, then plugin after plugin…)

    OK, so I will do like this. ?? There are tow basic possibillites of doing it: Manually or by using a plugin. I would prefer to use a plugin, but I do not know which one I could use. Especially the possibility of only migrating single plugins is something I could not find.

    If necessairy, migrating only the database tables with the plugin and migrating the plugins themselves by FTP is also an option.

    Which plugins you would recommend?

    Thank you!

    1-maybe try health check plugin troubleshootng mode to help narrow down the problem plugin by plugin

    2-blogvault.net (not free) is a plugin that you can use to create a staging site. after creating a staging site you can activate/deactivate/delete/install plugins as desired. there are other staging site options, but blogvault is the one i have used most reently

    Thank you for the answer, but it did not help. There is no other way then transferring the whole site – plugin after plugin – on a new wordpress and testing after each plugin is installed.

    I could do that manually OR (and that is my question) by using a plugin which accepts migrating only single plugins. I would really prefere the plugin-solution, but I do not know any plugin that accepts migrating only parts of the installation. (One theme, one plugin…)

    Manually it would be like this:
    1) export from phpmyadmin the tables of a certain plugin
    2) change the URLs
    3) import it to the databank of the testingarea
    4) transferring the plugin itself
    That is a lot of work, since the site uses many plugins and big ones. Additionally each manual activity that is repeatet often includes the possibility of mistakes. Therefore I prefere the plugin. But I do not know a migratin plugin that allows the migration of single parts of the website.
