Was superb, now horrible.

A couple of years ago, I used migrate guru to successfully migrate several web sites. It was one of the easiest experiences I’ve ever had.

I need to change hosting providers again, and this time, I’ve wasted hours and gotten nowhere. Migration Guru used to let you migrate the same domain between two hosts.

Now, it forces you to use a migration key scheme that requires you to log into both sites at once. Not a trivial task, since both sites need to have the same domain name. So you need to edit your hosts file and bounce back and forth between the plugin screens.

Then once I was ready to go, it told me the migration key had expired and I needed to do the whole thing again.

Then it let me enter the details by hand, but failed to connect no matter which credentials I entered — SSH, FTP, or cPanel.

In short, I don’t know what they did to this, but a once-superb plugin has gone the way of so much of high-tech and become an incompetent, buggy, broken mess.
