My basic intention is to export a Theme from another site and then import it to my site.
Is this possible from this plugin?

]]>I’m attempting to use WordPress Move, to migrate a site that is running as an Azure Web App. However, the FTP process does not seem to work, due to the fact that Azure uses a \ in the username.
]]>i am developing my wordpress site on my Laptop Computer (Localhost).
it is NOT ‘live’ and not hosted anywhere yet.
i gave it a default name.
Lets say my Local Dev url is: https://www.xyz.dev/
i have now made a company name: eg: “ABC”
so, how would I change my ‘Dev’ url to: https://www.abc.dev/
i am not uploading anything to any sites yet.
this is PURELY on my local host laptop computer at home.
Hi,
During export (from localhost MAMP Pro) to import (livesite), I was changing the new site address, then accidently I guess I clicked and it’s saved and I cannot even view wp admin interface at https://”mysite”:8888/. It displays only hyperlinks to my pages. Links are broken like: htt/home , htt/contact etc…
Cannot access anything accept local files and local phpMyAdmin thru MAMP Pro
How to correct/edit all this? Which file to edit?
Note: This all happened during transferring the site from MAMP to live server…
In last 4 days I tried over 5 plug ins, all gave errors. Open to any suggestions for easy import/export plug in!
Thanks a lot in advance!

]]>Hi, Everything was working so smoothly, It backed everything up from the old site, I went to the new site to complete the migration, everything came in fine except for the .sql database that failed. I tried the whole process a second time. Still failed. Not sure what to do?
]]>Hi:
Does anyone know if this plugin works on windows and IIS?
Thanks.

When I enter the old and new domain names and press Change, the screen loads for a minute, then goes blank — I still see the dashboard on the left but the main screen is now empty/gray. It is not continuing to load.
I believe I have all the FTP settings correctly configured. I’m never being asked for my FTP password.
Any tips?

]]>Hello,
I have been using this plugin very successfully to migrate several new sites’ dev databases to their productions sites, when they are ready to launch.
I copy all the files to the new server root, mysqldump the dev database, import that dump file into an empty fresh production database, and then put a temporary override on the sitename and home url in the wp-config.php file in the production directory. (https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Changing_The_Site_URL).
Then, I also go to Tools->Migration Assistant (the plugin is already activated before the transfer), and just run the Change Domain Name function, change dev.example.com to https://www.example.com (for instance).
This has worked for dozens of sites, but now a new site that needs to launch later this week, when I try to test this, I get this error message:
Failure!
An error occured while changing instances of your domain name. Rolling back to the previous state also failed. Please try importing the database backup stored under the backup folder manually.
The only two things I can think are different are these:
I have WordPress debug.log turned on but there’s nothing in it about this, and no other PHP error_log files are being generated.

]]>Did I installed WordPress move to move a WP isntallation from a server to another. How I didn’t found no-one user manal or step-by-step, I dod what seems at www.ads-software.com page, and at dashboard WP.
I coundn’t migrate my WP installation, althought the backup files aparently has been created amd copied between servers.
There is a User Manual for WP Move?
Hi, I’m getting this error:
There are no backup files to use to complete the migration. Please start the migration using WordPress Move on the server you want to migrate from.
I don’t know why this is happening, these files are in the destination server root:
Backup-14129083161.zip
Backup-14129083162.zip
DBBackup-14129083131.sqlHello. I originally installed wordpress on https://www.mydomain.com/WordPress/ (WordPress Address) and then followed https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory these instructions to change the (Site Address). (As able to do in WordPress/Settings/General) So homepage looks like it is installed in the Root. https://www.mydomain.com
5 years later and someone told me this is the incorrect way to do it on a premium theme and I should ‘move’ the entire core install to the Root.
Any input on that?
Can you advise if it’s ok to have all core files in subdirectory /WordPress/ , and if its not, can I use your plugin to “Migrate/Change Domain Name” to move everything from subdirectory to root on same server with same domain name?
I hope you can follow that. Thanks for your time and advice.

So I used this and it worked fine for a simple migrate. I’m creating anew site and migrated from the test site to the new full domain and hosting, all worked well, thanks!
My question is can I use this plugin to merge two sites without compromising the layout/design of the second site.
I had to create a new site because the original that I ran is shutting down, I didn’t own the site, but they want me to fully take it over and move it and all contents to the new domain/hosting that I own and manage.
I need to move the old site to the new site, just the posts, categories and images and those parts of the database but I can’t disturb the new database, just merge into it.
Will this work for that?
The other issue is, will or can it handle a large site?
The original site has been up since September 2008 so there’s a lot of content.
Thanks
]]>Hello,
I want to move 3 network installed websites to a new server. And leave 2 network installed sites where they are. Is this possible with WordPress Move?
Kind Regards

None of the plugins carry over and the homepage of the website is blank. It’s odd because the files and the database all carry over, so there must just be a configuration issue somewhere.
]]>I’ve found on a lot of installs, particularly with GoDaddy shared hosting that it does not always zip up and send the entire file contents. It is very selective of what files get zipped. I’ve made it a habit to manually transfer the wp-content directory before running wordpress move to deal with all the DB hard work.
I use this plugin for moves maybe twice a week, it’s great, but often I come across this issue.
It would also be useful to by default select only the wp-contents directory, as typically wordpress is already installed on the destination side.
]]>It seems that when the destination wordpress install has a database prefix of something other than wp_ then it does not work. This should be a simple fix to check the wp-config.php file for the prefix on the destination.

]]>Hi,
I’ve just tranfered successfully it looks like all my files and DB to my new host.
On my host I have a brandnew wordpress installation.
I have also FTP’d wordpress move to the plugin folder.
When I connect to my new remote site I get the basic wordpress screen (no admin).
What I need to do is get into some sort of admin to run wordpress move so that I can extract my zip files and load my DB.
The rest I know about, wp-config etc.
I must be missing something.
appreciate any help
Hello,
After a day of trying everything to upload my local site to my remote server, I decided to try this plugin. But I can’t find any instructions, anywhere, so I’m just kinda guessing. There’s a brief mention in the FAQs that it needs to be installed on both the local and remote servers. I’ve done this. OK. Then what? Do I put the same settings in both the local and remote plugins? Do I initiate the transfer process from the remote WordPress or the local one? What’s a Remote Backup Path? It fails to connect to my ftp server anyway, even though the login details are the same as I’ve been using with Filezilla all day. So some kind of 1, 2, 3 instructions would be absolutely fantastic. God, I hate, hate, hate wordpress. What evil being invented this unintuitive, hideous foul thing?!
Sorry to sound ranty, but as someone who has obviously used wordpress, you can no doubt understand my absolute loathing of the product. I am hoping your plugin’s fabulous abilities will save me from going insane!
