Export and import a complete WordPress website with one migration package. No artificial size limit; hosting upload limits still apply.

Dave Gerrits Site Migrator

<p>Dave Gerrits Site Migrator helps you move a complete WordPress website from one WordPress installation to another using a single <code>.dgmigrate</code> migration package.</p>
<p>Create an export on the source website, download the migration package, install a clean WordPress installation on the destination, and import the package there. Dave Gerrits Site Migrator restores the database, plugins, themes, uploads and other WordPress content and performs final checks before reporting that the migration is complete.</p>
<p>Dave Gerrits Site Migrator does not impose an artificial export or import size limit. The standard version uses the WordPress/PHP upload mechanism for importing a package, so the effective maximum upload size is determined by the destination hosting environment.</p>

<h4>How to migrate a website</h4>
<ol>
<li>Install and activate Dave Gerrits Site Migrator on the source website.</li>

<li>Install and activate Dave Gerrits Site Migrator on the destination website.</li>
<li>Open <strong>Dave Gerrits Site Migrator &gt; Import</strong> and select the migration package.</li>

</ol>
<h4>Hosting upload limits</h4>
<p>Dave Gerrits Site Migrator itself does not add an artificial import size restriction. The standard version uploads the migration package through WordPress/PHP. Hosting settings such as <code>upload_max_filesize</code> and <code>post_max_size</code> therefore determine the maximum package that can be uploaded on the destination website.</p>
<p>If the selected package is larger than the detected hosting upload limit, Dave Gerrits Site Migrator reports this before the import starts.</p>
<h4>Website Migrator Pro</h4>
<p>Website Migrator Pro is a separate product for larger WordPress websites and more advanced migration workflows.</p>
<p>Pro also supports the normal manual export-and-import workflow, but adds more robust processing for large migration packages, controlled chunked uploads, resumable exports and imports, adaptive processing for slower hosting environments and extended integrity checks.</p>
<p>Website Migrator Pro also includes <strong>Direct Migration</strong>. This connects the source and destination website with a secure temporary site key and transfers the website directly from server to server, without manually downloading and uploading the migration package.</p>
