Installation

Copy the wp-migrate-toolkit folder into wp-content/plugins/, then activate it. An entry appears in Tools > WP Migrate.

Export a Package

  1. Check Files and Database.
  2. Click on Generate Package.
  3. The plugin creates wpmig_files.zip and wpmig_db.sql in uploads/wpmig/ (protected folder), with download links.

The package folder is protected, but remember to delete it after use to avoid leaving anything in production.

Import into Another Site

  1. Install the plugin on the destination site.
  2. Upload wpmig_files.zip and wpmig_db.sql into its uploads/wpmig/ (via FTP).
  3. Check Extract + Import the database, enter the search-replace (old to new domain), then confirm.

The import is destructive: it overwrites files and replaces the destination site's database. Make a backup beforehand.

Migrate a WordPress site hassle-free

WP Migrate Toolkit moves files + database over FTP, without SSH.
