Bluehost Site Migrator

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 100% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

   Tried this with two really simple websites (one only has a single page!) and both failed

   My website is WordPress basic website with blog and very few uploads. I checked Migration Plugin upload directory where all ZIP packages are: for DB, for Pluggins and for UPLOADS. All of them were closed 1 hour ago but plugin progress is still stuck at the last task and it wont finish. How long should I wait?? It says : Packaging Uploads…

   All I get from this plugin in a message saying “Something went wrong. Try again later.”

   Thanks for the buggy ride. I tried it on three sites and I can’t get it to work on any of them. So much for an easy way to move a site to Bluehost. I love their hosting. This plug in – not so much. Don’t waste your time and effort.

   This is simply terrible. Tried this plugin with a simple website, with a couple of plain html pages and it simply doesn’t work. The biggest surprise to me is how come Bluehost is listed on the recommended hosting services for wordpress. This comment is not only about the plugin. Many small details while dealing with the admin settings on Bluehost page are also non-intuitive or frustrating by the lack of options. This plugin is just a small example of the experience the user will have with Bluehost… Stay away from Bluehost! This topic was modified 2 years, 7 months ago by zecarlos2000.

   Don’t bother, it doesn’t work. I followed the instructions exactly. Three hours after starting the process, I was still staring at the “Cloning your website” screen, wondering if it would ever finish packaging the uploads and start transferring my website. I can’t tell you if it did or not because I have to leave for work. What a waste of time.
