WinOnWeb Migrate

WinOnWeb Migrate packs a site into a single .wowm file and unpacks it on any other WordPress install: local to staging, staging to live, or from one host to another. There is no upload limit and nothing to buy.

Features

• No size limits. Archives are built, uploaded and unpacked in small steps that resume after timeouts and dropped connections.
• Imports All-in-One WP Migration (.wpress) and Duplicator (.zip) archives.
• Safe import. The database is loaded into temporary tables and switched over in one step, so a failed import leaves the site as it was.
• Undo import. The previous database is kept for 7 days and can be restored with one click from the plugin, with wp wowm undo from the command line, or through WordPress recovery mode if a plugin or theme breaks the site.
• Site check before and after import: the plugin requests the home page, login and REST API and shows green/red. If wp-admin shows a critical error right after the import, the previous database is put back at once; other errors trigger an automatic undo after 10 minutes unless you keep the import.
• Server check before import: write access, disk space, database server, max_allowed_packet, utf8mb4, PHP memory, plus an integrity check of the archive.
• Site URLs and paths are rewritten automatically, including serialized data (widgets, page builders, ACF) and JSON-escaped values.
• Leftover link finder: shows where an old address is still stored and replaces it everywhere.
• The host’s object-cache.php, advanced-cache.php and db.php are not moved or overwritten by default.
• Caches, logs, other plugins’ backups and leftover copies such as plugins-old are left out of archives.
• Choose what to export: database, media, themes, plugins, must-use plugins, other files, and your own exclusions.
• Scheduled backups with changes-only runs between full backups.
• Caches are cleared after an import (WP Rocket, W3 Total Cache, LiteSpeed Cache, WP Super Cache, Autoptimize, SiteGround Optimizer, object cache).
• WP-CLI: wp wowm export, wp wowm import <file>, wp wowm list, wp wowm undo, wp wowm keep.
