Until the last step the site keeps running on its own database. After the switch the previous database is kept for 7 days and \"Undo import\" brings it back. If wp-admin cannot open right after the import, the plugin undoes it by itself; wp wowm undo<\/code> does the same from the command line. Files are covered by the backup the plugin offers to make before the import.<\/p><\/dd>\nWhere are backups stored?<\/h3><\/dt>\nIn wp-content\/wowm-backups: next to the content it backs up and outside the uploads folder, so a backup never ends up inside the next one. The folder is protected for Apache and IIS, every archive gets a random file name and nothing secret is written there, so it cannot be misused on nginx either.<\/p><\/dd>\n
Does it support multisite?<\/h3><\/dt>\nNot yet.<\/p><\/dd>\n
Does the plugin send data anywhere?<\/h3><\/dt>\nNo. Archives stay on your server unless you download them. The plugin does not contact any external service.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n
1.0.0<\/h4>\n\n\n- First stable release.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
0.4.3<\/h4>\n\n\n- New logo and colors in the plugin screen.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
0.4.2<\/h4>\n\n\n- Files unpacked from an archive are staged as numbered files without an extension or folder structure and only get their real name when moved into place, so a PHP file from an archive is never reachable under its own name while an import runs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
0.4.1<\/h4>\n\n\n- The standalone recover.php is gone. When the login page shows a critical error right after an import, the previous database is put back in the same step;
wp wowm undo<\/code> and wp wowm keep<\/code> were added for the command line, and WordPress recovery mode covers a broken plugin or theme.<\/li>\n- Nothing secret is written to disk any more: the undo state lives in the options table and job files hold only a hash of the job secret.<\/li>\n
- Plugins, must-use plugins, themes and uploads are located through WP_PLUGIN_DIR, WPMU_PLUGIN_DIR, get_theme_root() and wp_upload_dir(), so sites with a custom folder layout export and import correctly.<\/li>\n
- The site is checked before the import too: a page that already failed is not counted as something the import broke.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
0.4.0<\/h4>\n\n\n- Site check after every import: home page, login page and REST API are requested and must answer without a critical error. Result shown green\/red.<\/li>\n
- Automatic undo: if the site shows a critical error after an import, the previous database is put back after 10 minutes unless you choose to keep the import (can be switched off per import).<\/li>\n
- Emergency undo without WordPress: recover.php restores the previous database when wp-admin cannot load. The link is shown after the import and saved to wp-content\/wowm-backups\/RECOVERY.txt.<\/li>\n
- Plugins whose files did not arrive, and plugins tied to the previous host, are deactivated after the import and listed.<\/li>\n
- PHP extensions used by the source site are compared with this server before the import.<\/li>\n
- Jobs keep running on the server when the tab is closed (WP-Cron fallback) and the page reconnects to them.<\/li>\n
- An interrupted upload can be continued after a page reload by picking the same file.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
0.3.4<\/h4>\n\n\n- Upload progress moves continuously while a piece is being sent, instead of jumping once per piece.<\/li>\n
- Large files show an explanation up front (slow on shared hosting, still working, SFTP + Restore is faster for multi-GB archives).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
0.3.3<\/h4>\n\n\n- When the host limits the upload size, a sticky note under the bar explains what is happening and that it is working, with a pointer to the SFTP + Restore route for very large files.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
0.3.2<\/h4>\n\n\n- On an HTTP 413 (request too large) the upload now shrinks the piece size immediately instead of retrying, and remembers a working size for next time.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
0.3.1<\/h4>\n\n\n- Uploads no longer hang on hosts that hold or reject large requests: each piece times out, retries are shown, and the piece size shrinks automatically.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
0.3.0<\/h4>\n\n\n- All database access goes through $wpdb.<\/li>\n
- Stricter input sanitizing and output escaping.<\/li>\n
- Translator comments for every string with placeholders.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
0.2.1<\/h4>\n\n\n- Help tab with a migration guide, FAQ and WP-CLI reference.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
0.2.0<\/h4>\n\n\n- Import All-in-One (.wpress) and Duplicator (.zip) archives.<\/li>\n
- Undo import.<\/li>\n
- Server check and archive integrity check before import.<\/li>\n
- Leftover link finder with replace.<\/li>\n
- Changes-only backups, manual and scheduled.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
0.1.1<\/h4>\n\n\n- The safety backup before an import only covers what the import replaces.<\/li>\n
- Size estimate measured across requests; backups and leftover copies are skipped.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
