        I too need to migrate 6 highly customised Wordpress sites built with 6 different themes/ pagebuilders from Cloudways to Cloudron. Petrified!!!

        A guide on how to migrate themes + plugins + content + media + javascript/css customisations + settings + Google Analytics will be highly appreciated!

          This has always worked well enough for me:

          • https://wordpress.org/plugins/all-in-one-wp-migration/

          I had issues with this but comes well reviewed:

          • https://wordpress.org/plugins/duplicator/

          Search for nulled versions if you need a cheaper way to get their Pro versions and can't justify the cost. Otherwise, support developers that make your life easier.

              @oj thanks for sharing the feedback, surely helpful for others to come. Wordpress migration is always a picky topic.

                Hi guys,

                The fastest way to migrate any WordPress installation to Cloudron is very simple:

                1. Export the /wp-content/ folder on the origin server to a wp-content.zip file
                2. Export the database on the source server to a .sql file. In phpmyadmin, select all the tables, and export to bbdd.sql
                3. Create a clean install of WordPress on the target Cloudron
                4. Once created, go to the file manager of the Cloudron WordPress installation and into the /public/ folder:
                • upload the wp-content.zip file
                • delete existing /wp-content/ folder
                • unzip the file wp-content.zip
                • change ownership to www-data from /wp-content/ folder which has been unzipped
                1. Finally, upload the .sql file of the database from step 2 to the path /app/data/

                After this, all that remains is to migrate the database. To do this, go to the application console in Cloudron. Once in it, you just have to type:

                cd ..
                
                cd data
                
                wp db reset
                
                wp db import bbdd.sql
                

                With this, the migration is complete.

                  @martinkbs Yep! That's almost as easy as installing and using a plugin as "all in one ... migration", which is great as well. 🙂

                        Perhaps mention the All in One Migration plugin there too? I think for lots of people that's actually a much simpler option.

                        I use Cloudron with Gandi & Hetzner

                          @jdaviescoates Possibly.. I expanded the guide to outline both the approaches now.
