This migrator plugin does what it’s supposed to do and fairly quickly as well.I used it to migrate websites from TransIP to Cloudways.There are a couple of details to be mindful of though:- Add the domain via Domain Management (and make it the primary)- In the migrated wordpress site – search and replace the temporary domain to the real domain using WP-CLI- After migration the Migrator plugin has a built-in preference for the Breeze cache plugin (maintained by CloudWays). The Migrator plugin apparently deactivates other caching plugings like WP-Rocket without explicitely letting you know. This kinda freaked me out as I wasn’t sure the clone was a 100% accurate.- Remember to clear the cache- Remember to restart Redis service- Remember to purge Varnish service

I could migrate a WP Multisite with this plugin. Database, files and most configurations went on perfectly but at the end you may have to do some hacking on files like wp-config.php to fix URL direction problems. The whole Multisite was 9GB and it took a couple of hours so don’t despair. As long as the progress bars move eventually the process finishes. Of course this was my experience and I’ve only tested it once.

Just used this plugin to migrate 2 sites, and it worked well. Main thing I needed to do after was a « find and replace » on the database for cloudways URLs, to replace them with the domain URL. Would happily use again.

I honestly created an account just to post this.This migration tool is dumb and not working at all! We are trying to migrate our site using this for 4 TIMES using this and all failed. Support is no help at all. Im so DISAPPOINTED! If you need to migrate a critical site, do not use CLOUDWAYS!
