Page content migration

CaptainDoo · May 2020

I am trying to migrate a wordpress site from one host to a different one. So far most of the migration has worked fine, but the thing missing is the content stored in "page options". I have migrated the entire database as well as the the content of the Apache served Wordpress directory. Still, the content in page options, where the majority of the landing page is configured, is not being copied. I have also used the Importer/Exporter plugin provided by Wordpress to no avail. I can confirm the content of the pages is stored correctly as meta data in the file, but it is not restored when importing the .XML file.

Hello,

Please use this plugin to migrate the website from hosting to hosting.

thanks

Thank you for the swift reply. Unfortunately the Duplicator plugin is not an option in this case as I am altering the hostname as well as using a different database backend. Are there any other options to migrate the page content? Thanks a lot.

You can use the Import/Export tool for copying whole websites, it's at the bottom of the builder, see screen: http://prntscr.com/h1emu4

But, this is the last option for copying the builder content.

thanks

Hi Pablo, thanks for the reply. I have tried using that tool, but it endlessly says "processing data" and yields no result. Does it have to be setup in any way beforehand?

Please try to disable all of the plugins before doing that process.

Also, if you have some caching software enabled on your hosting, it should be disabled too.

Thanks

Thank you so much, disabling the plugins helped. Have a great day.
