Questions
- What do I need to use Migrate Guru?
You’ll need:
* An account on the new web hosting service.
* A domain on the new host, with WordPress installed.
* The destination’s FTP/cPanel details(optional).- Why do you need my email?
Migrate Guru requires an email address to send you updates on the migration process, notify you of any errors that occur during the migration.
- How long does Migrate Guru take to move a site?
Migrate Guru can move a 1 GB (files & database) site in <30 Mins*
(*Approximate & depends on a number of factors).- Are there any limitations on the number of migrations?
Yes. We’ve enforced a limit of 5 site migrations/user/month (developers can request to have this limit extended). This cap ensures that our servers aren’t overburdened. Each of the 5 sites can be moved unlimited times.
- Does Migrate Guru backup my site?
No.
- Do I need to have WordPress installed in the destination?
Yes.
- Do I need to have Migrate Guru installed in the destination to transfer my site?
Yes.
- Why do you need FTP/cPanel details?
Migrate Guru requires FTP/cPanel details primarily as a fallback. The plugin generally doesn’t need these details, relying instead on Migration-key based migration. However, in cases where this primary method encounters issues, the plugin uses FTP/cPanel details as an alternative to ensure a seamless migration.
