Install All-in-One WP Migration on your current site and click Export. The plugin creates a single .wpress file containing your entire WordPress site – database, media, themes, and plugins. Then install a fresh copy of WordPress on your new host, install the plugin there as well, and use the Import feature to upload the .wpress file. The plugin will migrate everything automatically, including updating all URL references and handling serialized data safely. You can migrate between any hosting providers – from shared hosting to dedicated servers.
Before you migrate, we recommend lowering your DNS TTL to 300 seconds at least 48 hours in advance, and keeping your old host active for 7–14 days as a safety net in case you need to roll back.
To create a backup, go to All-in-One WP Migration > Export and choose your backup destination – local download or cloud storage. The plugin creates a complete backup of your entire WordPress site in a single .wpress file. To restore a backup, go to All-in-One WP Migration > Import and upload or select your .wpress backup file. The plugin will restore your database, themes, plugins, and media files automatically. After restoring a backup, clear all caches and re-save your permalink settings under Settings > Permalinks.
For best results, use a hybrid backup strategy: cloud storage for automated daily backups and local copies for fast recovery. Follow the 3-2-1 rule – maintain three copies of your data across two different storage types, with one stored off-site.
Yes. The Multisite Extension allows you to migrate an entire WordPress multisite network as a single .wpress file. You can also extract a single subsite – when you migrate a subsite, the plugin automatically converts table prefixes and reorganizes media file paths. Multisite migrations require special handling because the network uses shared database tables for users and per-site tables with unique prefixes. We recommend at least 512 MB of PHP memory for large multisite migrations.
If your server rejects a backup file as too large during import, you have several options. You can increase the PHP upload limit by adding php_value upload_max_filesize 512M and php_value post_max_size 512M to your .htaccess file, or set client_max_body_size 512m for Nginx servers. For sites that require unlimited upload size, the Unlimited Extension removes all file size restrictions set by your host.
You can migrate a WooCommerce store the same way you migrate any WordPress site – export on your current host and import on the new one. However, after you migrate a WooCommerce store, you should immediately verify that payment gateway API keys are configured correctly, update any webhook URLs to reference your new domain, and run a small real transaction to confirm checkout works end-to-end. We recommend enabling maintenance mode on your old server after DNS propagation to prevent split orders during the transition. See our full WooCommerce migration guide for detailed steps.
If you migrate to the same domain on a new host, your SEO rankings should remain intact because All-in-One WP Migration preserves all your content, URLs, and metadata exactly as they were. If you migrate to a new domain, set up proper 301 redirects mapping every old URL to its new equivalent and use Google Search Console’s “Change of Address” tool. A temporary ranking fluctuation of 10–20% in the first 1–2 weeks after a domain migration is normal. Keep your redirects active for at least one year. See our SEO migration checklist for a complete guide to preserving your rankings when you migrate.
The most common issues after you migrate and their solutions:
- White screen: Enable
WP_DEBUGinwp-config.phpto see the actual error. Verify PHP version compatibility between your old and new servers. - Database connection error: Check that
DB_NAME,DB_USER,DB_PASSWORD, andDB_HOSTinwp-config.phpmatch your new server’s settings. - 404 errors on all pages: Re-save permalinks under Settings > Permalinks to regenerate rewrite rules.
- Broken images: Verify the
wp-content/uploads/directory transferred completely with correct permissions (755 for directories, 644 for files). - Import stuck or frozen: Increase PHP
max_execution_timeandmemory_limit, or use WP-CLI to migrate from the command line:wp ai1wm restore backup.wpress.

Yes, All-in-One WP Migration supports cross-database migration between MySQL, MariaDB, and SQLite. This is especially useful when you migrate sites to or from WordPress Playground, which uses SQLite. The plugin handles all database schema differences automatically – you simply export from one environment and import into the other.
Yes. All-in-One WP Migration includes full WP-CLI support for command-line automation. Use wp ai1wm backup to create a backup and wp ai1wm restore backup.wpress to restore or migrate from a backup file. This is ideal for developers who need to migrate sites in automated workflows, CI/CD pipelines, or scheduled backup scripts. Combined with cron jobs, WP-CLI lets you automate your entire backup strategy without touching the WordPress dashboard.
