I literally spent 2 days to migrate my site but not able to do anything using 3/4 plugins. I found this video that helps me a lot. I just want to say thank you for this video.
Glad to be of help!
Man I wish you were my first video I watched on this topic! It would have saved me hours!
Glad I could help!
Excellent straight to the point tutorial Mr Davo! Thanks a million for creating this guide 👍💯👍💯👍
Thanks for the suggestion!
Excellent tutorial... I've been very frustrated with All in One Backup and Duplicator plugins. This tutorial on WPVivid seals the deal for me.
Thanks, Lawrence! Glad to be of help.
You are my hero 🤞🏽💪
When finally I Click on restore button in the new website, it shows me restore fails
Whats the solution for this?
Check out their help doc (#8 & #9) to look for clues. Then contact support.

Not bad. I don't think anybody can beat Migrate Guru, though. The BlogVault migration process is the smoothest I've seen to date. My unlimited license of Backup Buddy is gathering dust.
Agreed, Migrate Guru is great.
Can you use this for a localhost site on one laptop to a localhost on a different laptop?
Thank you very much!
What a fantastic and great tutorial. Thank you.
Good evening Dave, i have a couple of questions to ask if i may. Does the url on the source site when you move it over to the destination site (say youre using a local environment like local by flywheel), and two once you restore from the source site to the destination site, and you get kicked out do you have to use the credentials of your source site to log back into your destination site?
When you use WPvivid to migrate your site, it'll update the URLs from the source site to match the destination site automatically. So, if you're using a local environment like Local by Flywheel, the plugin will handle the URL changes for you.
Now, about getting logged out after the migration - it's common to be logged out of the destination site during the process. When that happens, you'll need to log back in using the same credentials from the source site. This is because WPvivid migrates the user data, including your login information. Once you're logged in, you can update the credentials if you want.
Let me know if you have any more questions or if there's anything else I can help you with!
@Dave Swift thanks Dave that makes perfect sense. Bit embarrassed I didn't figure that out on my own lol. I appreciate your help :)
No worries! Conceptualizing all this stuff is tricky. Once you do it a few times you'll figure it out. Every migration is a little different. WordPress is wonderful that way! So many different server configs, plug-in setups, themes, hosts... I'm getting anxiety just thinking about it!
@Dave Swift I know me too lol. I'm actually studying some php so that I can learn theme and plugin development as well. But then again im a nerd 🤓 so lol
i did like your step but got error message as WPvivid Backup Plugin -> Error:A key is required.
Make sure you've entered the key from the source site into the destination.
Hi, thanks for the video! I tried following your guide, but for some reason, when I tried to 'generate' key, nothing appeared in the white box. The destination site is hosted on siteground, any ideas on how to fix this issue? Thanks!
Sorry I don't! Have you asked wpvivid support?
I came across this tutorial at the right time when I was stuck trying to migrate a site from localhost to a live environment. I succeeded, by following your step-by-step instructions. Thank you.
Yes! Victory. Thanks for sharing, John.
Very straightforward except for one thing, how do you move mydomain.com at webhost A to mydomain.com to webhost B? You moved from somedomain.com to someotherdomain.com which works great. How do you keep the same domain?
Hey Justin, First migrate, then check to make sure everything works properly before changing the domain and dns records.
If you have live sales, put up a maintenance page before migrating so you don’t lose the record of any sales during the migration.
@@dave-swift I guess the part I'm confused by is how do I access the second install in order to add the WPVivid plugin? If they both have the same domain, I can't get to the admin panel on that second install (unless I'm missing something.)
too much speak
Too much comment.
hi can i ask what mean is this?
wpvivid_request: error(): an error occurred when trying to establish communication with your server. This error may be request not reaching or server not responding. Please try again later.
Hey acdeltigre, this means that WP Vivid couldn't connect to your server. So either it's being blocked by a firewall or there is some server resource issues preventing you from connected. Check with your host!
After migrating my website data, I don't seem to have access to my WP admin account!! Please help
Sorry to hear -- please contact your hosting provider, this isn't something I can help with over UA-cam comments.
thank you! Still works 2022!
Great! Glad to hear it.
thanks very clean tutoral i will be going to use this on my portfolio site
Glad it was helpful!
"Domain Change Unlimited" So my solo-manned agency with well under 100 sites would benefit from just the freelancer option I'm guessing. Backup Buddy which I just wasted my money on as migrating is 220x more complicated than this and All-in-one. I'm so upset that I can't refund but wow this video is 5 minutes long and Backup Buddy has a 1 hour webinar on migrating to a different site. I'm floored, thank you!
Sorry to hear of your struggles! I have used Migrate Guru in the past with a lot of success (from BlogVault team) but it was no wear near as easy as Auto-Migrate from wpvivid.
@@dave-swift Yes I have two web projects for June and I'll definitely pick up wpvivid through your link and Amelia while it's on sale!
Many thanks, fast and straight to the point.
Glad it was helpful!
wait a min
so bascially I have to install a fresh wordpress with same domain name and then upload the backup is it that simple?
When I tried cloning transfer, mine is stuck at 32% don't know why?
Sir your video was great, but when you will point nameserver to another hosting...
Thank you for all it's simple to follow
You are welcome!
You mentioned that you got logged out after the transfer. For some reason, I am unable to get back into my WP account after the transfer is complete. I have had to delete the transfer twice now. How did you manage to get back into your account?
No Funciona
Thx but what if you want to move the site and the domain? When I set up Wordpress in new hosting and use my same domain it kinda brings up my original site in my new site, when I go to plug ins they are there. Like I can’t get a clean copy of Wordpress, do I need to make up a temp domain for this?
Yes move the site to a temporary domain, check to make sure it is working after migration, then flip the domain name and DNS settings. You'll have almost zero downtime.
Thank you!
@@vaporwareproducts No problem!
Excellent. Now how do I start a print on demand business?
What I would like to know is how this works when you want to export a WP site but NOT import into another WP. I want to export text, images, videos and links keeping their current association by post so I know what goes with what, and then use a different platform to re-organize and develop the site. (Rapidweaver+Foundation). All WP plugins and tuts assume you will be using WP to import. So how would this work? What do the files look like? Does WPvivid only export a single file-what kind? Any ideas of what to use to just access what I need?
What you're looking for doesn't really exist. It would likely be best to just keep the site up while you do the migration on a staging site. You will have to manually rebuild on the new platform.
its show this error after some time cloning plese help to resolve this 'Transfer failed, cURL error 28: Operation timed out after 30015 milliseconds with 0 bytes received'
Yikes! Definitely reach out to WP Vivid support. They are very helpful. contact@wpvivid.com
Clean video but is there a difference between this and doing a backup? I want to work on a site locally to test some code using Local 7.0
Autonami is now called FunnelKit automations.
The team is doing a great job of adding new features and modern.
I don't love the email editor and honestly, not quite sold on having email inside of my WordPress site.
I have helped WooCommerce sites add FunnelKit, and they're sending 2M emails a month. It's definitely doable.
Comparing to Klaviyo, well I guess Klaviyo has a stranglehold on the Shopify market, but I don't really see many WordPress sites using them. They are costly and honestly not as feature rich these days -- Klayviyo was a market innovator but a lot of competition has caught up.
IMO self hosting email marketing is a great way for a business to cut an often unwieldy expense and take ownership of their data. It is also an additional burden so you have to be prepared to spend some time in that department.
incredible.
Thanks Rimon!
I have told my freelancer to work on the website and he is changing everything for instance i see all post and pages are deleted and also security plugins have been deleted and i see this plugin vivid any chance he is trying to transfer the website on another website without me knowing???
I would definitely get a hold of that freelance and find out what he’s doing. If he doesn’t have a fantastic explanation, contact your hosting company and see if they have a backup before he destroyed the site. Make sure you delete his account if they do!
Bro, what if i want to migrate my site with domain name to another host? I mean, here you have migrated the site to new website which has a different name too. Please help
Migrate to a different domain.
After migration is complete, check to make sure site is functional.
When you confirm functionality, update domain name with host and update DNS records.
Are your domains free or paid?
Do you use Gridpane for Managed cloud hosting, could you help us understand how cloudways is better than shared hosting
Yes, I do use both Cloudways and Gridpane. I have a lot of content regarding this on the way :)
Thank you so much it was very helpful for me to solve the biggest issue.
Glad it helped!
Have you tried this with multisite? Moving just one site to a single site or another multisite installation.
No i have not! It would be interesting to see how that works.
Hi. I am trying to migrate one WordPress site to another domain, to sort of park it as a "before" website. It does the first part without a hitch, but when restoring the website on the new domain, it fails. I didn't design the old site, we are redesign the site, brand new look. The old sit is huge, 1.9gig. I have a domain with 2000mb hosting. Pls, I need advice. Thanks.
Both sites are WordPress.
I'm not sure I follow, sorry @SubieChick, but there is a "Reset WordPress before the restore" on the restore screen that is unchecked by default. Try checking it and see if it helps the restore work properly.
What a legend
Haha, thanks!
I got a "cURL error 6: Could not resolve host: test.local" when trying to paste and save the key into the source website.
Are you migrating from a local installation?
@@dave-swift I'm migrating to a local instance, Local by Flywheel. If it's bot possible via this method, do you know how I could migrate from live to local?
For this it is going to be easy to export and upload. Try this page: docs.wpvivid.com/wpvivid-backup-pro-migrate-site-manually.html
I am having an issue where when I press save on the key, it gives me this super long error that ends with "This site requires Javascript to work, please enable javascript in your browser or use a browser with Javascript support." Any idea what that is about? I have no idea why that is an issue
Have you tried another browser or another device?
@@dave-swift yes. Ive tried firefox, chrome, and edge. I tried on my tablet and my laptop
Hey man! Can I delete the plug-in after site migration has been completed? I only needed it for site migration.
Yes!
@@dave-swift ok, thanks!
did not work
Try MigrateGuru, it's free. wordpress.org/plugins/migrate-guru/
Thanks sir
good video! can this be done if I am migrating from old to new host, for same domain name?
Yes, sure can. I recommend migrating to a different domain for testing then switching the domain and DNS settings after you know everything is working properly.
great video now going to purchase
Thanks WLGY! I hope you enjoy it.
Does this work from any free hosting like infinityfree to a paid hosting?
It should, but I haven't tested it. Try the free version of the plugin which lets you do the migration.
doing infinityfree to (i dont know what is the host of my friend but WPVivid is timing out, could you let me know how to troubleshoot it?) im really new into this
I'm trying to figure out how you have your domain name at BOTH hosts at the same time?
Subdomain.
@@dave-swift
So you literally have your DNS records pointing to two hosts at once?
One on the main domain at your source site and one on a staging subdomain at your destination site?
Then after migrating the site you go through the work to change the site from the subdomain to the main domain, point the DNS to the new host, etc.?
My brain is still tweaked about this...
DNS records can only point to one place at a time.
When you migrate a site, you’ll have to migrate it to a different domain (this can be a subdomain or a temporary domain provided by your host, you don’t need to buy an extra domain).
After the migration is complete, check it to make sure the site looks and functions correctly on the temporary domain before updating the site and DNS records to point to the permanent domain.
Sometimes I have trouble moving a site to a new host when both have the same domain name... ex. mysite.com to mysite.com. DNS points to the original site so accessing the new site isn't as straight forward. I would also like to see a cPanel to cPanel site transfer video. I have sites that have email accounts so just moving WP over isn't good enough. Need to move email over as well.
I would not recommend using email on the same server that's running your WordPress site, especially if it's transactionally heavy (eComm or an LMS). Leave email to the pros like Rackspace, Gsuite, Office 365 Outlook, etc.
For migrating a site and keeping the same name, I'd recommend moving with a different name on the destination initially. Once you verify that your migration looks good with the alternate domain name, update your destination site to the desired name and adjust your DNS records to point at the new server.
@@dave-swift Thanks for the reply. I agree about having mail off the server - I use Zoho. But unfortunately, many of my small business client sites that are not transactionally heavy just want a free email account. I know Zoho and others offer free accounts but cPanel email is easy and you can set up accounts for multiple employees. But moving cPanel email accounts is more difficult.
You could consider something like mxroute, which is cpanel hosting for email only.
@@dave-swift Thanks, looks interesting. The $10/mo Reseller plan may fit the bill.
Excelente video
What about url migration?
Hey Daniel, what do you want to know about it? I did a URL migration in the video.
Is this free?
There is a free version and it works really well!
Great 👍 tutorial
Thank you! Cheers!
