All in One WP Migration Plugin - How to Migrate a WordPress Site to a New Domain

[@jdillon8360]

Looks pretty easy now! Before watching this I was very nervous about doing this. Thanks!

[@SDKhan-yv7bs]

Thanks for the video. Unfortunately, I missed the last step regarding permalink. Consequently, I had to enter the user name and password of the website that I was importing. What should I do now?

[@pawsland827]

what about if the process sticks on the 100% green bar and does not go to the next step that says to proceed?

[@renetus_wellness_official]

@paws same happens with me do you find a solution of it ?

[@lucindabrummitt6771]

Question: When you saved the permalinks they were saved as backup.oldwebsite/postname can they be renamed so that they are not on the subdomain (backup).oldwebsite to domainname/postname?

[@romainesmith4880]

what about the links from the copied site to the destination site. once imported on the destination site (where the new destination domain name will be), won't all the links on the website feature the copied domain name and not the destination domain name?

[@javierjj338]

Good video. I'm thinking about using this plugin to clone a word press I have but only to get the same look and use it for a new website (new hosting, new domain name, etc). The new website will be in a different niche, and I only need the structure of the other website (plugins, theme, setup...). Can this be done with the All in One WP Migration Plugin? Thank you!

[@francescoscollo2275]

Hi. The video is great. I imported the web site but it kept the old user and password of my local website. Please, could you explain me that? Thanks.

[@cognizant2010]

Thank you very much for posting. It creates trust for this plugin and it helps to make decision to buy such plugin. Thank again. You have a nice day!

[@TheWebMonkey]

Glad it helped!

[@rembrandt702]

Hello - I migrated from a Live server to a localhost after I created the database. Even, though the transfer worked, my new website doesn't exist in the Theme window. It is not there. Do you know why?

[@bwtr203]

Awesome video! I am developing a site on my sub domain for a client, which I plan to migrate to their hosting to replace their old outdated html website on Godaddy. When I transfer the site over using this method will it automatically overwrite my clients existing site or do I need to take an additional step to get rid of their current site? Please advise if you can. Thanks!

I've downloaded proper file and it's not uploading to empty wp instalation at all. It always stops around 20% and nothing happens. My file is 180MB and I made proper changes in htaccess to have possibility upload over 300mb. Tried 10 times and still nothing. Any recomendations?

[@alex-ff1mp]

Same issue here, only that it stops at 100%..

Thanks for this. I got to the 100% but the system seemed to "hang", although perhaps I should have waited longer? Are you aware of it "hanging" at the final stage?

[@VarunJaiswal]

Same situation occurs with my website also, will it work if we wait for a while. or we should try it again??

[@9797sabina]

I have the same kind of question: will it update all the urls to the new urls? and another question: I guess one would have to migrate to a different domain name... or can one do the same when moving a domain name to a new provider? i.e. keeping the same url? Thanks

[@TheWebMonkey]

Hi Sabina once you have transferred the files and database, you will need to save the permalinks on your new site twice and the urls will work properly. Yes you are basically transferring your current site over to a new website so you will need a new domain name for the new website. If you are moving to a new provider that is a different process because in that case you are not transferring your website's files to a new domain but rather to a new host. I hope this makes sense.

[@JamesMcCabe703]

Wait. What about the DNS settings. You didnt' repoint the DNS to the new site? How will the links work if you don't? They are going to reference the old site.

[@devodyutiaich]

Hey there! I am facing a problem while exporting the file from my localhost. When I click to download it fails every time and the report says there is no file. What can I do?

[@clicktomarteverythingatyou9246]

This will save on server, before downloading as a zip file? It means I don't have enough space on my previous hosting.

I am migratng 2 sites to siteground...both are over a gig (one is 15 gigs)--will this method work well at NO COST? Site ground will do each for $30 -- please advise

[@aravindmunna8463]

after migration my header is missing kindly help me , am using wp pray theme..... in that theme some options missing aftr migration.

[@tinalilith]

Thank you for sharing this! Will this method work if this is the second time you are migrating your website? Will all the links redirect correctly?

[@TheWebMonkey]

Yes the links will redirect properly once you update your permalinks twice at the end of the process.

[@tinalilith]

Web Monkey thank you!

[@prpstg]

Thanks Web Monkey! I laughed too with you when you saved permalinks twice. :D

[@fultonvrental]

whoa , careful there..

[@matthummel1279]

What do you recommend if I am trying to transfer the domain and site content to a new nameserver?

[@TheWebMonkey]

Ask the owners of the nameserver if they have any tools for doing so

[@yramhossoo8586]

Can this be used to install a premade plr type blog onto another domain?

[@JudgeSikhs]

so for me what happened is - first import was stuck at 68%. I stopped it and redid import and was at 98% but stuck again. I stopped and redid it again and is stuck at 100% with nothing happening. . Any suggestions guys??

[@fultonvrental]

same, stuck at 100%

[@adrianacarvalho9617]

it's magic! Thank you very much

[@svgbyam]

Do we need to keep this plug-in after the site is running?

[@TheWebMonkey]

No you don't.

[@garyborg2345]

Hi I'm going to use this to migrate a site from a domain to a different domain with different hosts. Will the links change and such especially for seo? I also want the ask.. The website is an ecommerce so it's a bit heavy. 235 mb to be exact. The import file is 120 mb. How do I import it?

[@TheWebMonkey]

Hi Gary, the links will change to reflect the url of the new domain. You will have to contact your web host and ask them to increase the size of the data you can import.

[@garyborg2345]

Web Monkey understandable :) thank you and keep on cranking the awesome content

[@candid0111]

My homepage isn't showing up at all. Just a default divi page.

[@clientbounty]

Excellent! Thank you!

[@chandra9441]

Hi, if export size 500mb, agin to import to website is possible? How?

[@tiffmeek]

Contact your host and ask for an increase in upload size. I'm with Bluehost and it took all of five minutes to get it sorted. Just use the online chat facility.

[@moslemayasmin8949]

Amazing Presentation, Topic On Point ... I loved it ....................

[@zenata79]

I dont see the plugin on my dashboard. eventhough it is activated?

[@markosuna-senn5816]

When it's exported and ready for download it says it's going to be 348 MB but it downloads as a file that's only 67 bytes large.... thoughts?

[@markosuna-senn5816]

It says it encountered an internal server error

[@wendybourbon123]

I basically just need a copy of the site and don't want to migrate( just duplicate) my question is: Once I export the files of the existing site - will that site still exist? I hope that makes sense

[@Agentjm1]

The answer is yes. I just like to say that if you are moving the website to a new domain, then the website will still exist under the old domain. But if you are moving the website to a new host under the same domain, there won't be any 'old website' version existing. Why? Because when you are migrating a website to a new host under the same domain, you will have to (after backing up/ exporting the entire website to your computer) add the new host's nameservers to the domain.

[@sergeyauts]

thanks a lot! Its so simple!

[@yanraychuk]

I don't have enough storage on my hosting service, therefor it wouldn't allow to export the files any ideas what should i do?

[@tiffmeek]

Just contact your host and ask for an increase in upload size. That's what I did and had it sorted about five minutes. I'm with Bluehost.

Nice video

[@cryto-alex5869]

Anyone can do this. The real question is: what if my site is more than 40Mb? The answer, you need to buy a plugin that allows you to migrate a > 40Mb site. You should start by saying this since most people will get the wrong idea the all-in-one plug is free. Not really.

[@abdilahcheddad1016]

send me a dm on ig: abdellche, you can get the "paid version" for free. I just did it and I have unlimited storage. Or you can basically just search it up. The trick is to download the old version 6.77. This one gives you unlimited storage.

[@LuisBarretoD]

NOT FREE - Your file exceeds the maximum upload size for this site: 64 MB....

[@sojhalmehtab9536]

Mine is stuck at 100%

[@gurmeetsliet]

Please tell everyone that common problem in import is that it stuck out in between and........ the next solution people will find out that they will use the FTP to upload the file and will do the backup........ and back restore is paid and will ask for $69. Further they will try to downgrade the all in one migration plugin version to 6.3 or nearby. BUt that is also not possible. overall all in one plugin is a waste.. do not use it... the upgrade version is totally not useful...... go for some other method......................
