I hear ya!

I have an exam to take and a couple of papers to turn in, so it may take about 2 weeks. I love coding more than the school work, so probably way earlier than that ??

It’s always nice to see people using and appreciating my work ??

I initially thought it was unnecessary (hence such an option is not available currently) but I now see the unavailability of it renders the plugin useless under some circumstances.

I promise I will ship this feature with the next release ??

It should, actually. I mean there is no reason for it not to, but haven’t tested it myself. You know, it would be really nice if you did and let us know ??

To the Remote Backup Path field on the WordPress Move Settings page, you need to enter the full path to your backup directory. For example: /srv/www/singathome.org/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-move/backup/ or /var/www/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-move/backup/.

To the New Domain Name field on the Migration page, you need to enter your the URL of your new WordPress installation. If people will access your new WordPress installation using https://www.singathome.org then you should type that. If people will access your new WordPress installation using a subdirectory for instance, type it like this: https://www.singathome.org/wp.

Of course, I developed it ??

A documentation comes with the plugin (inside the docs directory). When you are ready to migrate, try those instructions and open a new topic here if something goes wrong so I can assist you ??

@ccarforo: Yes, you can.

@aragno: Yes.

@brian7997: The backup directory and its sub directories all have index.html files inside them to prevent file listing. This does not make downloading your backup files impossible for outsiders but they need to know (or try to find) the exact second you created the backup file. You can use .htaccess to prevent direct access to the backup files. Though, if you are seriously concerned about the security of your backup files, you should immediately download and delete them from your server once you are done with them.

WordPress Move never deletes a thing so relax ??

If you changed your domain name only (did not migrate), then you should have a backup of your database in Backup Manager in the Old Backup Files section. Download that database backup file, install WordPress and WordPress Move locally, put that file into /wp-content/plugins/wordpress-move/backup/, open Backup Manager, select that file and convert it. Then, download the converted backup file by clicking on its name in the Converted Backup Files section and import it using phpMyAdmin on the real server.

This will restore your database to its former state.

First of all, sorry for the late reply.

Safe Mode needs to be disabled because the plugin needs to set the time limit to zero, in order to prevent the problem you encountered. You may need to contact your host to disable Safe Mode.

The plugin replicates your entire site as is, on the target server. Apparently you filled in the fields under the Change Domain Name (Optional) section to replace all instances of kovalikmedia.com/wordpress with 127.0.0.1:70/wordpress. Just try migrating again and make sure that the fields I mentioned are empty, before hitting the Start Migration button.

I assume this one is resolved.

You can always retry as it will simply overwrite the existing files and content and not cause an issue. Unfortunately, WordPress Move is not logging the actions currently so it is not possible to see what went wrong.

First, either archive or delete all the existing backups in your Backup Manager to not deal with unnecessary backup files.

Use the Migration Assistant and fill in the Change Domain Name (Optional) section before hitting the Start Migration button. That way, all instances of your old domain name in the database will be replaced with the new one. Once you see all backup files are generated and the connection to the other server failed; open up your FTP client, navigate to /wp-content/plugins/wordpress-move/backup/, download all the backup files there and upload them to the same directory on the server you are migrating to. Then you can use Restore to complete the migration ??
