All-in-One WP Migration Multisite Extension

Migrations and Backups for WordPress Multisite Networks

Managing a multisite installation with the standard All in One WP Migration plugin has one clear limitation: it only lets you work with the entire network as a single block, with no control over individual subsites. All-in-One WP Migration Multisite Extension removes that restriction and adds the operations a real network needs: exporting a specific subsite, importing it into another network, cloning it within the same installation, or moving an entire network from one server to another.

What It Actually Lets You Do

The extension expands the export and import options of the base plugin so that each subsite can be handled independently. You can export a single site from the network, select several sites at once, or dump the entire network with all its subsites in a single operation. On the import side, it lets you import a standalone site into an existing multisite network, import several sites at once, or restore an entire network from a backup.

• Selective export: choose which subsites to export or which ones to exclude, instead of moving the whole network every time.
• Subsite-to-standalone conversion: pull a subsite out of the network and turn it into a standalone WordPress install.
• Cloning within the network: duplicate an existing subsite within the same multisite installation, useful for creating templates or test environments.
• Support for multi-network setups: works in environments where more than one network of sites is managed from the same server.
• WP-CLI commands: multisite export and import operations can be run from the command line, which matters if you automate maintenance tasks.

Who This Extension Is For

It's built for agencies and administrators managing WordPress networks with several active subsites: corporate portals with microsites per department or brand, educational networks with a subsite per course or faculty, or providers offering WordPress multisite as a service to their clients. It's also useful for one-off tasks such as splitting a subsite off from the network to sell it or hand it over as a standalone site, or replicating a subsite setup as a base for new projects within the same network.

Things to Consider Before Installing All-in-One WP Migration Multisite Extension

Since this extension depends directly on the internal logic of All in One WP Migration, its behavior can vary between versions of the base plugin. This means that updating either component without checking compatibility between the two can cause failures in operations that previously worked fine. Before running migrations on a production network, it's advisable to test the full process in a staging environment and back up each subsite involved beforehand.
