What it does
Moving a WordPress site by hand usually means exporting a database, copying media folders, fixing paths and hoping nothing breaks along the way. This plugin packages that work into a guided process. You can export a site or a multisite subsite, then import it on a different domain or hosting environment. The same tools let you clone a site, which is handy when you want a staging copy for testing or a starting point for a new project.
Backup and restore sit alongside the migration features, so you can save your database and media files before any move and recover the site if something goes wrong. Media content is included automatically in migrations and backups. The dashboard walks you through each process, while configurable settings give developers more control for complex setups. Data is protected with encryption during transfer and storage, which matters when you are moving client sites between servers.
Best for
- Developers moving client sites between servers or domains
- Agencies managing WordPress multisite networks
- Site owners who want backups before major changes
Features
Single site and subsite migration
Move a standalone WordPress site or an individual multisite subsite to a new location without handling the database and files manually.
Built-in backup and restore
Back up your database and media files before a migration, then restore the site from that backup if you run into problems.
Cross-domain and server moves
Export a site from one domain or hosting environment and import it on another, which suits host changes and domain switches.
Selective multisite handling
Pick individual subsites from a multisite network and migrate only the ones you need, leaving the rest of the network untouched.
Site cloning
Duplicate a site to create a staging copy, a testing environment or the base for a new project.
Automatic media inclusion
Media content is included in migrations and backups automatically, so images and other uploads travel with the rest of the site.
Encrypted transfers and storage
Sensitive data is protected with encryption and secure protocols while it is being transferred and while backups are stored.
Configurable developer options
Advanced settings let developers adjust how migrations and backups run to fit professional workflows and more complex site structures.

Questions about Prime Mover Pro
Can I move just one subsite out of a multisite network?
Yes. The plugin supports selective multisite migration, so you can export an individual subsite and move it on its own. You do not need to migrate the whole network to relocate a single subsite.
Will my images and uploads come along during a migration?
Yes. Media content is included automatically in both migrations and backups, so your images and other uploaded files are packaged with the database and moved together with the rest of the site.
Can I use it to make a staging copy of my site?
Yes. The cloning feature duplicates a site, which works well for building a staging or testing copy. You can also use a clone as the starting point for a new project.
Is my data protected while a site is being moved?
The plugin uses encryption and secure protocols to protect sensitive data during transfer and while backups are stored. You can also take a backup before migrating so you have a restore point if something goes wrong.
