WordPress Site Migration | Another Server in 4 Simple Steps

Thanks for that. It worked exactly as described.

wow it works :-) thank for the video

Thank you!!!! ♥

Worked a charm, thank you for this video. I failed with many other plugins and methods before discovering your video.

Two things to note.
1) make sure PHP versions on the old and new server are the same. I had to change mine before it worked.
2) if it continues to fail, try again but restore the database first.

One of the most helpful and genuine tutorials on the internet. Pretty straightfoward!!!

Rare to see a tutorial where the person not only knows what they're talking about, but also can explain it simply. Thanks. Great Plugin!!

Thanks great video, for clarity will the source website still be active or the whole will just be transferred?

Pints on me next time I visit Wales..........

This is the only one that worked the first time @WPTuts thank you for this video.

THX man! Very easy! Had a bunch of tries with other Plugins but this one is truely amazing! THX stay Save!

Excellent video, great tool, what a contrast to some how to videos.

Sir, you saved me a ton of time with this video thank you so much!!

Is there a good alternative to WPVivid? I want to migrate from Elementor hosting but that plug-in can’t be used…

my one shwing me errorr

What do you do if the website is too big to transfer? It says receiving site can't receive the oversized data chunk. Please set the value of the Chunk size to 512 KB in plugin Settings. Can't figure out how to do that. Any work arounds? Thanks!

This is way too easy and unreal. Thanks man.

I have a few websites under the same hosting account. They consider them subdomains even though I have paid domain names for them all. Do I need to do this for each one? Someone mentioned backing up the cpanel. Do I need to do that?

I saw that you are using DIVI, do you need to install that as well on the destination server or a basic WUP install. Thanks for the video!!!

Amazing
you always come up with what i was looking for

elementor doesnt work htacees file missing

Thanks for the video Paul, now going to try it with a difficult site 4gb+ 😀

what if we use a custom template theme, does it also transfer or do i have to install the theme on the reciever hosting ?

Thanks buddy, worked better than the all in one plugin...

Great video

can you use a backup to migrate to another host. Say you closed with the original host a few months back?

Your Genius!!! thanks for this video. Very helpful.

perfect, thank you

will this work from localhost using xampp?

Great job! Made migrating a fairly complex site stupid simple and in well under an hour.

Do licensed 3rd party plugins get migrated too without issue?

Great job, master class.

Great video indeed! Wondering how you pointed the original domain especially if you bought from a different registrar from where your website was being hosted.

So I transferred in a domain name that has a Wordpress site on it. Do I install Wordpress to the domain name and then do the transfer in? How does this work if you are transferring domain name as well as site?

Thank you, Paul. This is great!

Super video as always. Thank you!!!

Can we use this from local to hosting?

Just fyi - the content of this video is still relevant, but the plugin name has changed to WPvivid Backup Plugin

awesome job dude

🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 Saved me in a bind! Thank you.

Brilliant. Simply brilliant. Thank you

how about changing the name servers for the domain to point to the new hosting?

Leave comments for better reach thanks for the video

Thank you; as usual excellent video. You might what to put a sticky comment to let people know the plugin's name has changed to "Migration, Backup, Staging - Wpvivid" I couldn't find it using the name on the video, so I searched for WPvivid and the new version came up. The interface hasn't changed.

Thanks a ton! This was super easy.

Thank you -- so many other plugins make it so difficult to transfer WordPress websites from one host to another. and end up charging you for subscriptions. I'm talking Duplicator, all-in-one WP migration and many other big plugins. I've had to pay hundreds of dollars and this video simplified everything and honestly wish I found it earlier. THANK YOU! Earned yourself a sub.

Very helpful. Thank you

Hey Paul, How does one migrate a website from SG to SG manually - the problem I'm having is the website is already on SG and I have another account on SG and can only move sites I have on the other account using transfer ownership and it only allows one a day.
