What it does
Moving a WordPress site by hand usually means exporting the database with a separate tool, running find and replace on a SQL file and copying media over FTP. Each step is a chance to break something, especially serialized data, which can corrupt when URLs change length. This plugin replaces that routine with push and pull migrations that run directly between WordPress installations, and it detects and updates serialized PHP data so stored settings and options stay intact.
It fits the common local, staging and production workflow. You can pull a live site down to your local machine to work on a matching copy, then push tested changes from staging to production. Find and replace supports case-sensitive and regex searches for URLs and file paths. The plugin can back up the database automatically before a migration, and you can take manual backups and restore the database whenever you need to.
Best for
- Developers working across local, staging and production sites
- Agencies moving client sites between hosts or environments
- Site owners who test changes on staging before going live
Features
Push and pull migrations
Transfer the database, media, themes and plugins between WordPress sites in either direction, sending changes out or bringing a remote site's content in.
Serialized data handling
Serialized PHP data is detected and updated automatically during a migration, which avoids the corruption that plain text replacement on a SQL file can cause.
Find and replace with regex
Update URLs and file paths across the database using find and replace, with support for case-sensitive matching and regular expression searches.
Backups before migrating
Create a database backup automatically before any migration runs, so you have a copy to revert to if something needs undoing.
Manual backup and restore
Take database backups at any time on your own schedule and restore the database from them when you need to roll back.
Staging to production pushes
Test updates or new features on a staging site first, then push those changes to the live production site once you are satisfied.
Production to local pulls
Pull your live site down to a local environment to get a matching copy for development and testing work.

Questions about WP Migrate Pro
Does it move files as well as the database?
Yes. Along with the database, it migrates media files, themes and plugins, so you can replicate a full WordPress site from one installation to another instead of copying files over FTP separately.
Will changing the domain break my serialized data?
The plugin detects serialized PHP data and updates it correctly during find and replace. That keeps stored options and settings readable after URLs or file paths change, which is a frequent source of errors in manual migrations.
Can I undo a migration if something goes wrong?
You can have it create a database backup automatically before a migration runs, and you can also take manual backups at any time. Those backups can be restored to bring the database back to its earlier state.
Can I copy my live site to my computer for development?
Yes. A pull migration brings the production site's database and files into your local WordPress install, giving you a matching copy to develop and test against before pushing changes back.
Is WP Migrate Pro free?
The code of WP Migrate Pro is licensed under the GPL, so anyone may use, change and share it. GPL Feast is a paid service: a plan or a single purchase gives you the download and automatic updates. The developer's own support, licence key and online services are not included.
