Pressable Automated Migration

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. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Modeled within the band wp.org reports; tightens as we track daily.

At the current install trend, crossing 5K+ in roughly 350 days.

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. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

   I have to say, I’ve always been more of a DIY person, and I prefer normally to migrate sites manually so I can control each piece. But when I was forced to leave my old hosting company and move to Pressable, I was a bit worried because I knew how intense that was going to be. I was told about the built in migration process at Pressable and the plugin here, and while I was a bit wary, I tried it. The user experience was super clear from start to finish and if I did have any questions (which I did on a couple), I was able to get my question answered from Pressable support within only a couple minutes and was able to quickly complete the migration. I’m literally migrating sites as I type and just got the notification that it is ready to finalize at Pressable, but I was seeing that this only had 9 reviews and I thought that was ridiculous because it’s an amazing plugin. I know people mostly leave reviews when they’re frustrated, so that’s likely why there aren’t more reviews, but seriously, I’ve been working with WordPress for over 10 years and have tried pretty much every hosting company and tried and used hundreds of plugins. I was a little worried about managed wordpress hosting, but after seeing the perks and boosts, and redundancies, protections, addons, etc that are just built into Pressable sites, I was willing to walk away from my normal workflow (which included root access to WHM/cPanel). After 8 years at my previous host, I’m moving to Pressable, not because of how good they are, but because of how awesome their support and team is. The amazing performance and hardware is just a perk. Anyway, getting side tracked, but seriously…great plugin, and thanks for making my life easier!FEEDBACK: My only feedback would be that the screen where you enter the Destination Site URL and SFTP details show the Site URL you are migrating from. The reason is because if I’m migrating multiple sites at once, I hvae to have multiple migration tabs open, and when entering these details, it’s going to be very important to enter them correctly, so having the origin domain displayed somewhere near the top would make it easier to make sure we’re entering the data from pressable onto the correct SFTP migration page. Of course this is only an issue when migrating multiple sites at once. It’s not an issue if you’re just migrating 1. But I had to migrate 200, so I had to get creative with my tab organization in chrome. But having the site origin URL/name showing in that page would be a huge help! Not a deal breaker, but a nice-to-have. Ben J | Wodobo This topic was modified 1 year, 2 months ago by wodobo.

   I moved across to Pressable (WordPress A++++ Hosting) about a year ago and have never looked back. Outstanding service value and now with this little gem of plugin migrations are as simple as Copy-Paste x 3 + CLICK! Grab a coffee and by the time you’re finished, so is your site migration. Kudos to team Pressable.

   The Plugin offers an easy way to migrate a WordPress site to Pressable. Notice that all existing users will get overwritten. Means after migrating the Pressable Contributors have no Site User anymore. Means you have to recreate them in the WordPress admin page or remove and re invite them over the Pressable Panel.

   I have used migration/staging plugins before which broke most of the features of my websites during the transfer process. I thought that this was just a given and expected to experience the same utilizing this plugin. To my delight, the website transferred over with no issues whatsoever. I was able to transfer from a DigitalOcean server to Pressable in less than 24 hours.

   The Pressable migration plugin worked like a charm. One thing to remember is that you will need to credentials from your pressable account site settings page and the migration tab for it to work properly. I wish they can add the information somewhere on the plugin page. Other than that, it works like a charm, updates the URLs by itself and makes life much easier.
