Thank you for the informative video! For those (like me) who haven't delved into comments: DOES NOT MIGRATE FROM LOCAL HOST UNTO LIVE.
Omg! This is the most helpful video I ever found. Cured me from my headache. All in one is not a cool plugin anymore.
This is AMAZING!!!! I tried it, migrated a site 4.82 gigs approximately 30,000 files. Give or take 35 minutes, flawlessly.
Same thing here.
This process looks "magic", if compared to other migration methods. Kyle this is another pure gold content from you, thanks!
Wish I had found this GREAT tool a sooner. I manually moved a number of WP sites. What a pain that was. Thank you for a wonderful and short, to the point video.
I absolutely love you, I struggled so much with all in one plug-in and it often crashed things for me. This has been brilliant. Thanks a lot !!!!!
Thanks!!
You saved me a lot of time bro!
Thank you so much!! After hours and hours of trying with other migrate plugins and no result. This Migrate Guru did it!!!! Many thanks
Looks great, but I must retain the same domain name and redirect the nameservers from the old to the new server. How do I do that?
It was my first time building a Wordpress site and moving it. Thank you so very much! The plugin worked perfectly. It was a stressful wait, but everything just moved over like magic.
I hate to tell you - but even hundreds of migrations later, it's still stressful 😂
@@TheAdminBar i'm sorry.
I want to ask how to migrate a wordpress web from local app to a live server for free.
i have been trying to use this metode and got a message "cant migrate from the site that unreachable from internet".
i tried with all-in-one wp plugin too, but i cant import, because only have 2mb limit upload.
Thanks Bro
After completion and testing the links etc. it was successful and I was literally clapping this guy while watching. Thank you very much sir. ❤
Can't believe how simple that is. Thanks Kyle!
🙌 Glad it's helpful!
I didn't believe this would work at first, but it was an amazing method, easy, simple, and fast.
Super video, thanks! Just moved a complete wordpress site, including the plugins, pages the whole thing.
Thank you!
Thank you so much this saved me a lot of time
Wahooo!
Great stuff and video! Easiest way to migrate, and it's really works!!!! Congrats!!!!
This is better than the Migrate Guru official video!
This plugin is fantastic! I use the migration key and my site was active in less than 15 minutes and everything was in order. Thanks a lot for this video because I was stressing out about the website launch but I feel like a pro lol 😎
WHATT!! This is the best thing I've ever found!! Thank you😍
after 5 days of slamming my head against the migration wall, this saved my life. Thank you so much
Thank you for creating this video! You saved me so much stress.
Thank you! I had a site that was in bad shape and being difficult to backup or migrate. This worked exactly as you said!
just migrated my second corporate website and again hassle free, thanks again, 5 star rating
Thank you that was just what I was looking for and it was so easy also I really like that you explain so clearly. Thanks
This worked well for me. I was able to migrate a WP Multi-site install to a new WP instance. Very smooth, no issues. Thanks Kyle!
wow what a seamless process, Thank you soooo much
Great tutorial it's nice there's another option out there other than All In One Migration. I doubt any of them are 100% foolproof but if this gets more consistent results moving forward I'll definitely switch. Thanks so much!
hey! did it work for you?
@@nohaidea it worked but the old website is still showing days later. This might be a hosting issue with GoDaddy however very strange.
Amazing! This has worked like a dream, thank you!
Love it! Love it! Love it! Thank you
Glad it's helpful!
Thank you, It worked on my end. Saved me today
the best migration video ever
Just beautiful! lol Also used All-in-one-migration for years. Worked most of the time. But this is so much easier.
My site weighs 800Mb, do you think that could work too?
@@dmaxgames9025 try it out
@@dmaxgames9025 I migrated a site of over 100gb, no problems. It takes a few hours though.
migration key is so much easier! Thanks man!
Amazing. Makes work super easy.
Dude, thank you so much made my Day was searching for so long for a free tool or way to duplicate my Site. Thank you so much
Glad it helped!! 🙌
What's up with the domain.... how to migrate a site and have the same domain, that's the probblem.
this is insane
amazing plugin
Great stuff! Many thanks. Will immediately install this to my starter site and use it to transfer this site to new client installs.
Let me know how it works for you!
super easy far better than any other plugins wc take alot of time thanks for this boss
You're welcome!
THIS WAS A LIFE SAVER!!!
Worked perfectly thanks very much
you make my life so much easier
This is super helpful! Thank you Kyle being super insightful as always!!!
Glad it was helpful!
Very enlightening. Thanks
Truly good work!
best method! thank you so much
extremely useful. Thank you
Thanks for this video! You saved me $$$ when I need it :)
do we need two separate wordpress account to migrate?
Loved it.
Great video. Migrate Guru does appear to be simpler than All in One. You didn’t mention if it limits site size as AIO does. Last migration I did with the AIO plugin has given me a lot of headaches.
From the Migrate Guru Site: Built For Large Sites: Move or clone sites as large as 200 GB in a breeze. Large site migrations usually fail because of live-site server import limits.
Very grateful for your video, all other methods I tried failed. I will note that the migration did take a long time, I thought there was a timeout error, so be patient.
Another gem. Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed!
Hi, I am wondering if this plugin replaces all the urls with the target urls. I have tested a lot of migration plugins and the most do not replace the target urls in all the wp tables in the database.
I'd have to test that specifically, but I've never ran into that issue here (or didn't realize I did 😅 )
They do change the URL in wp tables
I feel like my question is very specific but I'd love some clarification before I try it out ..
I use Hostinger to host all my sites. I have one plan with multiple sites, but I want to transfer ONE of those sites to a NEW hosting plan within Hostinger.
Is this possible through the method you showcased in this video?
Hostinger has a really annoying and complicated process for internal migrations. This would be an absolute life-saver.
P.S. Would your method have any issues with transferring over active MX records? I have emails attached to the domain, but the domain is also in Hostinger. Let me know!
Thanks
Many Many Thanks
can you do it from local-host?
It says no
I keep getting "There has been a critical error on this website." message after migration. Any solution for that?
Nice, I have heard praise about it several times now. Process seems very straingt forward. Have you used this on large sites? Like, say 3 - 5 GB?
Yep, never had a problem. Some say it's slower but I don't do it enough to notice that
@@kylevandeusen sadly my first exeperience with it produced serious issues with the migrated site. I am part to blame, as I tested the migrated site slopy so missed all the issues before it went live. :( have to go back to good old wpvivid. PS it is a multisite I had issues with
thank you so much
Thank you
Works perfect!
🙌
Is there a site size limit on free version like All-in-One has?
None!
200GB!
Hi, Can I migrate even a large website with this? Let's say a website with a size of 500 Gb?
Even though I open the site and everything look fine When I open the WordPress after migration I get "Data Collection Error"
Does this copy the site to the new host? Like if I want to test this on our production site, it won't affect the prod site correct?
i want to move the same site with the same domain name to another host not to a different domain name
Can you do this with two separate word press accounts or do they have to be the same? I want to create the website, then send it over to my clients account. Is this the same process?
when i enter my email address, i get a 'sorry, we cannot complete this action' any idea how to solve this please?
looks like a great tool!
It does not work from local to live server. Unfortunatelly.
This is by far the best way to migrate a wordpress site. Bar none.
Does this work when migrating from the local dev environment (xampp, mamp, local ) to live site ?
No, Localhost migrations are not currently supported
@@riteshsoni7406 Thanks
Am having trouble please help
Actually, for a migration you should allow somebody to download and upload your database. When this happening behind the scenes, it will always make me nervous. So I prefer to migrate my websites without such plugins. If you don't care - sure, this solution looks good.
thanks a lot!
You're welcome!
jfc thank you so much
Thanks for the tutorial. I followed the same method and used the migration key method.
My client's site is broken on both source and destination site.
I don't have access to my clients wrodpress dashboard and no backups just zip file.
Please help me. It's urgent
I have the same issues. Did you fix it and How?
You are sending FTP/CPanel credentials on another site that will take care of the site transfer, is it safe? Probably, I don't know, but I prefer to use methods where I have control of the files/credentials.
Thanks, I was 10 seconds away from buying all-in-one premium
Saved ya a couple bucks!
Though, what I do like about all-in-one is being able to sore a hard copy.
Thanks, new suscriber
Glad to have you!
What kind of sorcery is this?
But what if you are migrating the same website (same URL) but only to different hosting?
Same process - it doesn't matter what the URL is. You'll just point your domain to one server or the other.
But one thing it can't do - clone a live site to a local dev site (or the other way around). Their FAQ says they're working on in, but it's from 2017.
I want to give them money so it can do that as easily as it moves a 5GB/50k file site from one host to another.
nice! how does it work with multisite?
I'm not sure... I've never used multisite.
i want to move to another host. Currently, using updraft plus, after changing the name server i restore the website using updraft plus. is there any better solution for changing hosting?
😞 my third try, 2 other optioned failed. i thought this was going to be the solution.
This didn't work for me. Had an anxious couple of hours. I THINK that this was to do with permissions(??) or a secruity plugin on the site i was migrating too.
I just tried and the migration key failed, Migrate Guru's popup said that it failed on their end and to contact support. I click on support and get a 404 page. Not impressed with Migrate Guru and will try something else.
I'm trying to use this to leave Bluehost but I get a Unable to Contact Source site error. I have no idea why
Thank you for the tip!!!! This sounds too good to be true!
One question: how must the target server be, to which I want to move? Do I have to prepare a clean, empty wordpress installation there?
I have to move a large wp installation to a customer's server soon. The problem: the customer's server is in chaos. The theme there is extremely outdated. It's teeming with error messages in the dashboard.
Do i have to uninstall everything before I start the migration? Thanks for a quick note!
No, you do not **need** to change anything. Just migrate it over. That might leave junk in the database (I'm not sure), but it will work.
@@TheAdminBar Thank you so much!
they don't migrate the localhost files🙂
Okey this doesnt work if you have you dev website running locally. you will get the error Sorry, we cannot complete this action. after typing in your email.
Question: If the original site has any licensed plugins that need to be registered. How does this work with Migration Guru? Do you just need to go into each plugin and re-register it for the new site?
yes, that's how it works no matter how you migrate

You don't need any plugins to migrate a wordpress site. All you need to do is export your database, change all the url's in that database to your new site and import the sql file into your new database. I did this in 10 minutes
Then why would you watch this video? 😂
... and migrate all the plugins with their license keys, settings and options, all the media uploads, with any membership, WooCommerce, event plugin options and uploads, custom theme options, stuff in the customizer, ACF/CPT settings, block options etc, etc. And might have to fix your imported posts in the with fix-wordpress-export-wpautop, etc. etc.
Database export/import migration is easy on small sites, but not with larger sites that have lots of stuff that isn't in the database.
@@PaulMcCannWebBuilder I don't use anything that requires payment, so all I can say is that my migration went ok. But you're correct in that it will cause lots of problems. Anyway, I've gone back to static sites, as I couldn't get WordPress to look how I wanted it and it is a very steep learning curve.
I missed the part where you had to re-sign shortcodes 🤣😉
Omg I don't miss that 😅
Thanks for the video. But isn't it a bit too simple? Hardly any website works today without the use of site passwords? This is also asked by Migration Guru. If I try without a password, there is an error.
And: Isn't what you show us at the end as the "result" your source page? Of course you look exactly like that :) Isn't the landing page the second tab? but you don't show it at the end. Or have I misunderstood something?
I'm not trying to trick you. I've used this probably nearly 100 times 🤷
Thank you very much! This plugin is amazing
