Poorly Worded Interface – Completely Destroyed Website

    I’ve been a WordPress Professional for 20 years with about 25 websites, this plugin has a critical flaw – it has an interface that does not explain which direction it will migrate.

    It says “Install Migrate Guru plugin on the destination and use the key.”

    But instead, you need to use the key from your destination site on the origin website. – It will tell you the direction of the migration AFTER YOU BEGIN THE MIGRATION.

    As someone else mentioned, it’s not clear at all which site is being migrated to which site, horribly unclear information which will destroy your website in seconds.

    It appears to fail often as well and it requires an email, which they will then spam.

    I was able to roll-back instantly with my server, but it would still be devastating for any without a backup.

    I opened a ticket about this but they just overlook it. There were many support requests in the past for the same thing. Others lost their sites as well and opened a ticket about it all because of the bad wording, but they don’t seem to bother.

    I would agree completely confusing wording.

    At the very least there should be a prompt before the migration.
    Luckily I was able to cancel the migration.

    When I figured out the destination key goes on the source site it still didnt work
    Unfortunately the migration failed twice. Themes and plugins transfered, But no pages or media files were transferred.
