I needed to migrate a site from one host to another.. after cleaning it up updating everything (including older PHP hosting to newer). I achieved a fully working local site using DesktopServer – new wordpress, new PHP, getting rid of deprecated plugins for new ones – updated theme etc.)
I find using mpmudev hosting that I can’t seem to get migration from this local host site to work.
I normally have cpanel access etc. to upload an export.zip and add a transfer php file from DesktopServer to my destination site.
This is the normal way to migrate my local host DesktopServer (XAMMP) working site to a host.
I can’t do it like this with mpmudev nor can I follow the migrator plugin route as I can’t seem to get my local site linked via the hub.
I can’t migrate from my friends original site as that was hosted on an older version of php and the newer plugins and theme etc.
I now need to migrate this to mpmudev to show the guy it working and then eventually export it again to my son’s hosting site – as I did this as a favour.
I’d like to keep on using development locally using DesktopServer and keep on using mpmudev host as test bed etc. as part of my process…
Any suggestions besides continue to use my other hosting provider :wink:
