You need to be able to connect your local machine using the FTP protocol to do that. You can google it to see how to do that. Then, you can use either Simple or Advanced Migration to migrate. Don’t forget to change your domain name to localhost during the migration.
By the way I’m so sorry for the late reply, I was attending several conferences during the weekend.
In your case:
Current Server = Old Server = localhost
Remote Server = New Server = Shared Hosting ServiceForum: Plugins
In reply to: [WordPress Move] [Plugin: WordPress Move] So many files when do a Full backupAlright, I’m rephrasing it for the next version, then 🙂
Thanks!

In reply to: [WordPress Move] [Plugin: WordPress Move] So many files when do a Full backupYou can’t tell, because they are not generated in that way. Basically all your files inside your WordPress directory are listed, split into chunks and compressed. So some of your files inside the wp-content directory might be in one ZIP file, while the rest of them are in another ZIP file.
You can use the Create a Full Backup button in Backup Manager to create a full backup to use later.
As the very first explanation under Change Domain Name title suggests, that is for changing the domain name you use with that installation. (myblog.com to mynewblog.com, for instance). The line you quoted means, that action has no migration capabilities itself so it is clear.
Thanks!
Probably it’s a browser issue. When a list gets too complicated, browsers experience some issues with handling them. Google Chrome is the best one to handle such operations so far but still, on installations with so many files it is possible for even Google Chrome to crash.
You can always use JS fallback method by disabling JS on your browser.

In reply to: [WordPress Move] [Plugin: WordPress Move] Pages and postsI assume this one is resolved.

In reply to: [WordPress Move] [Plugin: WordPress Move] Backup not movedI’m glad to hear everything is fine now 🙂

In reply to: [WordPress Move] [Plugin: WordPress Move] Backup not movedYou should have written your Domain Name (http://old-domain.com) not your Site Address or WordPress Address, especially if those two are not identical. On every page it says Domain Name, how come it is not clear?

In reply to: [WordPress Move] [Plugin: WordPress Move] Backup not movedIt is possible. Just go to WordPress Move Settings page and change it?
Did you delete the plugin after opening the Backup Manager? Because deleting the plugin means deleting the whole wordpress-move directory and therefore the backup files. Since there are no backup files to delete, it throws an error.

In reply to: [WordPress Move] [Plugin: WordPress Move] Backup not movedIt is possible actually, since neither Simple nor Advanced Migration methods make any changes on the actual installation. You can retry as many times as you want.
File uploads are handled by a library called PemFTP which comes with WordPress by default. It only says it was successful when it really is. If you type a wrong path to that field, your server will either move your backup files to your home directory (or somewhere else) or it will delete it. Unfortunately there is nothing WordPress Move can do about it.

In reply to: [WordPress Move] [Plugin: WordPress Move] Backup not movedDoes your FTP account have access to the root directory? If not, you need to enter the full path to the backup directory, starting from the top directory that your FTP account has access to.
For instance, if your FTP account has only access to
/var/www/and you have WordPress installed there, then you should type/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-move/backup/to the Remote Backup Path field on WordPress Move Settings page.If you typed it wrong on the WordPress Move Settings page, it is most probably directed to the default directory of your account, depending on your server configuration.

In reply to: [WordPress Move] [Plugin: WordPress Move] Pages and postsCould you please verify that…
- There aren’t any backup files in the backup/ directory, other than the one you are using to migrate
- Your database is not full
If both of these are true but you are still experiencing problems, please create anohter database backup on your old server and try again with it. If your database backup file is somewhat big, set a chunk size for your database backups using the appropriate setting on WordPress Move Settings page on the server you are migrating from.

In reply to: [WordPress Move] [Plugin: WordPress Move] Fatal error at startYes there is: Delete all the backup files, except the one that failed, and choose Complete Migration in the Migration Assistant. It is very likely that the file is corrupted for some reason.
I’m still working on this plugin and trying to make the whole process as simple as possible. I’m happy to hear that the site is running fine and therefore the migration was successful.
By the way, thanks for the update about the transfer of files, much appreciated!

In reply to: [WordPress Move] [Plugin: WordPress Move] Fatal error at startFor the FTP part it’s using PemFTP, the library that comes with WordPress. On some servers, it fails to upload while it says it was a success. Not sure really if that problem of PemFTP will ever be fixed but it works just fine on *almost* all servers.
Nope, your database on the dev server will stay as-is if you choose to change your domain name during the migration. It replaces instances of your old domain with the new one on the fly while creating the backup of your database.
Sure, what you’re doing is essentially the same thing.

In reply to: [WordPress Move] [Plugin: WordPress Move] Fatal error at startYes, I’m revamping the UI for 1.2 to be more clear. Lots of people told me the same thing 🙂
You can both change your domain name and migrate at the same time if you use one of the Simple Migration or Advanced Migration methods. (Your new domain name should be pointing your new server)
