Description

WP Migrate DB exports your database as a MySQL data dump (much like phpMyAdmin), does a find and replace on URLs and file paths, handles serialized data, then allows you to save it to your computer as an SQL file. To complete the migration, you need to use a database management tool (e.g. phpMyAdmin) to import the SQL file to your database, replacing your existing database. It is perfect for developers who need to migrate fresh data from the production site to their local install, or migrate their locally developed site to a staging or production server.

WP Migrate DB handles serialized data (both arrays and objects) by unserializing the data and going through it, identifying strings and running a find & replace on them. Once it has gone through all the data, it serializes it again and sticks it back in the database.

Example: s:5:"hello" becomes s:11:"hello world"

Really good
by
I never used paid version as the free version is enougth for my every days need. I mostly use this to switch database from production to localhost or to make some backup. Here are some cool things about db migrate - Keep wordpress serialized field - Search and replace always worked to me. - Work on multisite - don't need to connect to phpmyadmin to do backup You can't really break you website if you know what you are doing. But you should anyway always make some backup before manipulating database live and try if they work / import well.
So useful
by
Really useful for moving sites between dev, staging and production or to migrate hosts. Works well and almost no issues after years of use.
POWER PLUGIN - MUSThAVE
by
i used it in every project and do it in every project again. The free version is optimal but the pro version is a easy way for a easy workflow!
Easy and Powerful Plugin
by
This plugin is super easy to install and configure, the user interface is well designed. The intro video on the plugin page is perfect for learning how to use it. Great job guys. We use this plugin all the time for debugging and testing.
Great Tool
by
In a lot of cases I use a manual file and db migration strategy and this is the plugin I use for the latter. If migration settings are correctly filled in the migration script created always works like dream and make the db export/import easy. The only time this plugin has failed me is when some themes clients used for their sites base64 encodes the content it submits into the db. Overall this is an amazing plugin for any developer's toolkit and I'm eternally thankful for the powerful free version being available.
Export DB and No Import???
by
Exported the DB with accurate setting as per both the hosting and domains, first thing I discovered is there is no import. When I imported the exported-file into MySQL directly the new website went down and is unacceptable due to infinite loop of redirection. Much better plugin to do the job is "ALL IN ONE WP MIGRATION" - the only restriction is that FREE version support only less than 512MB files size import. Rest it does everything perfect and without any issues.
Messed Up Both Local Install and Live Install
by
Now, my localhost is not working and my live site is not working. Both are giving 500 Internal Server Errors. This plugin ruined a week's worth of work. Now, I have to redo the entire website. Don't use this plugin even if you are paid to use it.
Use This All The Time
by
I've used this plugin for years and it has never let me down.
