Overview
Moving a WordPress site by hand usually means exporting a database, copying files and fixing paths, and each step can introduce errors. Prime Mover Pro replaces those manual steps with a guided process in a clean dashboard. You can export a site, import it on another host or domain, or clone it for staging and testing.
Backup and restore sit alongside the migration tools. Before a move, you can preserve your database and media files, then recover the site from that backup if something goes wrong. Multisite networks are covered too, since you can migrate individual subsites selectively. Developers, agencies and site owners who handle regular moves will find it fits those jobs.
Features
- Single site migration: Move a standard WordPress site from one server or domain to another without working through complicated manual steps, which helps reduce errors during the transfer.
- Multisite subsite support: Migrate individual subsites from a multisite network as needed, so you can handle the particular demands of a network without moving everything at once.
- Built-in backup and restore: Back up your database and media files before a migration, then restore the site from that backup when you need to recover it.
- Cross-domain and cross-server moves: Export and import sites between different domains and hosting environments, which suits developers and agencies who move projects between servers.
- Site cloning: Duplicate a website for staging, testing or a new project, so you can work on a copy and leave the live site untouched.
- Media included automatically: Media content is included in migrations and backups, so your site's images and other visual assets travel with the rest of the data.
- Encryption and secure transfer: Encryption and secure protocols built into the plugin help protect sensitive data while it is transferred and stored.
- Advanced developer settings: Configurable options are available for professional workflows and more complex site setups, alongside a dashboard that guides you through each migration and backup.
