FAQ
Does it work with Localhost environments?
We download your site content directly on the SiteGround server, that’s why we can’t access your content if it’s hosted on a local environment.
Does it work with WordPress.com?
No, the plugin is designed to migrate from stand-alone WordPress installations. If you want to migrate from WordPress.com, please check the Guided Transfer service they offer.
Does it work with Multisite?
Due to the complexity of MS sites we don’t migrate full MS networks at this point. However, separate blogs from a MS network can be migrated successfully.
What content is migrated?
We move only your WordPress content – themes, plugins, uploads. If you have other applications or content outside WordPress it will not be migrated
Does it work only with cPanel hosts?
No, we strive to make our plugin work flawlessly on every hosting environment.
Siteground Migrator Fails
Transfer is completed but I didn’t get a notification?
The plugin uses your current site admin email to notify you that the transfer is completed. If it fails to send emails you may not receive one upon completion.
I am getting transfer errors, now what?
Unfortunately, our plugin works on environments that we have no control over. That’s why it can fail or some hosts. In such cases, please contact our support team via a ticket in your Help Desk and we will assist you further!
