About WP Migrate DB Pro
Moving a WordPress database without breaking the site
Copying a WordPress database from one server to another looks like an export-and-import job. It is not, and anyone who has tried it by hand knows why: the database is full of absolute URLs written into the content, and many of them live inside PHP serialized strings. Run a find-and-replace on the SQL file and those strings end up with the wrong declared length, and what you get is empty widgets, lost theme options and custom fields that simply stop existing.
WP Migrate deals with exactly that. It exports the database while substituting URLs and paths, understanding the serialization, so what arrives on the other side works the same as it did at the source.
Push and pull, instead of export
The part that changes how you work is that files stop being involved. With the plugin installed at both ends you can:
- Push your local database to a staging or production server.
- Pull the production database down to your local environment to reproduce a problem against real data.
Before any change it backs up the destination database, which is the detail that saves you the day you push towards the wrong site.
Not just the database
It also syncs the media library, and only the files that are new or changed since last time, rather than everything on every run. And it transfers theme and plugin files without needing FTP, which on managed hosting is usually precisely what is missing.
Multisite
This is where it separates from the alternatives. It can migrate whole multisite networks, export a subsite as a standalone SQL file, push a subsite into a single-site installation, and pull a single-site installation in as a subsite. Reorganising a network without that is long manual work and easy to get wrong.
For people who automate
It integrates with WP-CLI, so migrations can be triggered from the command line, dropped into a deployment script or left on a cron. Saved migration profiles run without touching the interface.
It also supports regular expressions in find-and-replace, for the cases where a literal substitution is not enough.
Frequently asked questions
Why can I not just do a normal find-and-replace?
Because WordPress stores many settings in PHP serialized strings, which carry the text length written into them. Changing the URL changes the length, and if it is not recalculated the data is corrupted and disappears.
Do I need it installed on both sites?
For direct push and pull, yes. You can also export an already-processed SQL file and import it by hand.
Does it move images too?
Yes, it syncs the media library, copying only what has changed since the last sync.
Can it be automated?
Yes, through WP-CLI, which lets you put it in a deployment script or a scheduled task.
