I’m migrating an entire website, but the menu edits don’t transfer

  • Should the menu edits transfer with the site migrations? If they should, please can you tell me where they are stored so I can investigate what has gone wrong.

    Yes, normally, menu settings should transfer over. If they don’t, chances are that the database entry that stores the settings was improperly edited during the transfer. This can happen when the site migration tool attempts to change the site URL in all database tables but it doesn’t know how to safely edit serialized PHP data.

    The menu settings are stored in the ws_menu_editor entry in the wp_options table. On Multisite they’re stored in the wp_sitemeta table instead, but the key is the same.
