Shiftora

Shiftora helps administrators migrate WordPress sites between trusted environments with a guided workflow.

Features include:

• Unlimited site-to-site connections with bearer-token authentication
• Pull database migrations from a connected site with a chunked, resumable pipeline
• Whole-folder transfer of the media library, with every file verified on arrival
• Pick which database tables move, or move them all
• Custom find and replace rules that run after the automatic site address rewrite
• A site-wide switch for whether other sites may pull from this one
• Manual database backups with one-click restore
• Live progress, migration history, and per-migration logs
• Export and import tools
• Help screen with diagnostics, plugin details, and a support report

The free plugin migrates your database and media library, with no Shiftora-imposed cap on migration size and no limit on how many migrations you run, and it keeps your last 3 manual backups (a number you can change in Settings) plus a restore point saved before every pull. The only ceilings you can meet are the ones your own hosting sets; the SQL import tool, which uploads a dump in a single request, is bounded by your server’s upload limit. An optional separate add-on, Shiftora Pro, is described on the Add-ons screen.

Shiftora is intended for trusted administrator-managed environments only.

External services

Shiftora does not contact any external service during a migration. A migration sends your site’s data only to the site you connect, and nothing goes to Shiftora’s own servers.

Optional failure reports. The Help screen has an “Email a report to Shiftora support when a migration fails critically” switch, off by default. When it is on and a migration fails critically, or when you send a report yourself from the Help screen, Shiftora emails a diagnostics report to shiftora@devsync-agency.com through your site’s own mail setup (wp_mail). The report contains: this site’s host name, the Shiftora, WordPress and PHP versions, the active theme and active plugins, PHP memory, execution time and upload limits, the migration’s current operation, recent Shiftora errors, the latest PHP fatal error, the address of the admin page you send it from and your last few actions in Shiftora. No database rows or files are included, and values that look like passwords, tokens or keys are redacted before sending. The report is used only to diagnose the problem.

Documentation links. The Help and Migrate screens link to pages on https://shiftora.devsync-agency.com. Following a link opens the page in your browser; nothing is sent automatically.

Third-party libraries

Shiftora bundles two open-source libraries. Their full, unminified source is public:

• Alpine.js 3.17.4 (MIT), the admin screens’ UI framework, shipped minified as resources/js/alpine.min.js. Source: https://github.com/alpinejs/alpine
• Action Scheduler (GPLv3), which runs migrations in the background, installed through Composer under vendor/woocommerce/action-scheduler. Source: https://github.com/woocommerce/action-scheduler

All of Shiftora’s own code ships unminified in this plugin.
