Dragon Migrate

Dragon Migrate moves WordPress databases without breaking them. Every migration runs through a resumable job engine that adapts to your server’s time and memory limits, so it finishes on cheap shared hosting instead of timing out halfway through.

The search and replace is serialization-safe: it unserializes values, replaces inside them, and reserializes, so page builder data and plugin settings survive a domain change intact.

Features

• Database Export – Streamed, gzipped SQL exports with table selection
• Database Import – Resumable imports that pick up where they left off
• Serialization-Safe Search & Replace – Handles nested serialization, Gutenberg block attributes and Elementor data correctly
• Full-Site Archive – Database plus uploads, themes and plugins in a single zip
• Backup & Restore – One-click snapshot before a risky change, and a way back
• Dry Run – See exactly what will be replaced before anything is written
• Migration Profiles – Save a configuration and re-run it as often as you need
• WP-CLI – wp dragon-migrate export and wp dragon-migrate find-replace
• Resumable Everything – Row-offset cursors resume mid-table, even on a two-million-row table

Multisite

Multisite is not supported. The plugin detects a multisite installation and disables itself rather than partially working.

What the free version includes

Everything local, with no limits: streamed exports, resumable imports, serialization-safe search-replace, dry runs, full-site archives, backups with one-click restore, migration profiles and WP-CLI commands.

Dragon Migrate Pro

Built for agencies that move sites between environments all day:

• Push or pull a database directly between two connected sites
• Sync media, themes and plugins over the same secure pairing
• Preflight checks before anything runs, and an automatic rollback point
• Scheduled pull syncs to keep staging fresh (pushes are always manual, by design)
• Remote WP-CLI and a full audit trail with CSV export

See Dragon Migrate Pro for details.
