migration mess

  • I built a simple website in an unused domain of mine and want to migrate it to a friend’s. Something is preventing it from going through and it doesn’t appear to be a plugin issue because I’ve used both Duplicator Pro and All in One, both of which fail. Tech support at both plugin sites have no idea what the problem is. Neither does Bluehost.

    Is there a problem importing to www.ads-software.com from a bluehost domain? Is there something in the settings of the new site that needs to be checked? Does it matter if the new site is .org or .com?

    I’m on MacOSBigSur, 11.2.3

    None of those points matter in site migration, at least, not in my experience.

    What matters is what Something is preventing it from going through means.

    Once we know that we eventually will be able to pinpoint an issue and suggest a solution.

    For example, are there errors? If so, what errors? What are the steps you take and at which point do those steps produce unexpected results? What are the expected and the unexpected results?

    Usually, AIO will work “better” than Duplicator in the sense that its features are less relying on server space and limits. Duplicator is great but often can get stuck building the package due to not enough server resources or too big packages.

    I have never had such issue with AIO, however I use the PRO version of AIO, the free version has limits, so that would not work for most of the websites I work with.

    To resolve the issue you experience we definitely need more details.

    PS:
    What do you refer to with “.org or .com”? Do you simply mean your domain, or do you mean the WordPress .org (self hosted) versus WordPress .com (calypso)?
    I have done both, and no issues where found, however migrating to or from a WP ORG (self hosted) to or from a WP COM (Calypso) site can mean to do a few more steps mainly due to the Jetpack stuff installed on the .com variant. But generically speaking, migration is possible between the both.
