Marchnote Site Migration

Disgrifiad

Marchnote Site Migration packs your database and everything in wp-content into a single .mwp file, and restores it on any other WordPress site — rewriting URLs and server paths for you.

Features

  • One-click export of the database, media, plugins and themes. Optionally leave out media, plugins, themes, inactive plugins or themes, must-use plugins, spam comments, post revisions, transients, or any folder you name.
  • No import size limit. The browser uploads the archive in small chunks, so upload_max_filesize and post_max_size do not limit you, and an interrupted upload resumes where it stopped.
  • Automatic find & replace of the old site URL and server paths — including inside serialized PHP data, JSON-escaped URLs used by page builders, and URL-encoded values. Add your own replacements too.
  • Safe database restore. Tables are imported under a temporary prefix and swapped in with one atomic RENAME TABLE at the end. If anything fails before that, your live database is untouched.
  • Different table prefix? Role and capability keys are rewritten automatically.
  • Backups tab to download, restore or delete archives. Very large files can also be copied by FTP into wp-content/marchnote-backups/ and restored from there.
  • Resumable. Work runs in short steps, so it copes with low max_execution_time limits and retries automatically after a timeout.
  • WP-CLI: wp marchnote export, wp marchnote import <file>, wp marchnote list.
  • Visitors see a short “maintenance” page while an import is running.

Privacy

Marchnote Site Migration does not contact any external server, does not track you, and does not collect any data. Archives stay on your own server until you download them.

Cwestiynau Cyffredin

Is there a file size limit?

No. Uploads are chunked, so PHP’s upload limits do not apply. For very large archives you can also copy the file by FTP or SFTP into wp-content/marchnote-backups/ and restore it from the Backups tab.

Why do I have to log in again after importing?

The import replaces the users table with the one from the archive, so you log in with an account from the site you exported.

Does it move WordPress core or wp-config.php?

No. Only the database and the contents of wp-content are moved, so the destination keeps its own WordPress install and database credentials.

Does it support multisite?

Not yet. Single sites only.

Can it import archives from other migration plugins?

No. It imports .mwp archives created by Marchnote Site Migration.

Are my backups protected?

The storage folder is blocked for Apache, LiteSpeed and IIS, and every archive name has a random suffix. On nginx you can also add a deny all rule for /wp-content/marchnote-backups/. Archives contain your whole database, so delete the ones you no longer need.

Can I change where archives are stored?

Yes. Define MARCHNOTE_STORAGE_DIR in wp-config.php, or use the marchnote_backups_dir filter. The marchnote_step_seconds filter controls how long each step runs.
