Description

The Migrate to Liquid Web & Nexcess plugin makes it easy to migrate your site(s) to the Nexcess Managed WordPress Hosting platform. The plugin takes care of everything, from copying all the data to transforming config files and importing this to the Nexcess server. Start the migration, and the plugin will do all the heavy work!

There are two ways to install the plugin:

  1. Download the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in your WordPress admin panel.
  2. Upload the migrate-to-liquidweb folder to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory through sFTP.

After installing you need to activate the plugin.

1) How do I migrate a website?

For detailed instructions on how to migrate your site over, please visit How to Migrate your Site to Nexcess

2) Why do you need my email?

We require an email address to send you updates on the migration process, notify you of any errors that occur during the migration.

3) How long does it take to migrate a website?

This can range anywhere from 30 minutes to several hours depending on the size of the website. On average, migrations to Liquid Web take about 1 hour.

4) Can I migrate a site from WordPress.com?

Currently you can only migrate a self hosted WordPress installation, the plugin does not support migrating from WordPress.com.

5) What happens if I run into an error after the migration is complete?

We are always wanting to assist and help out in any way that we can. If you encounter any type of issue please use the support section of our plugin.

6) Do I need to leave the window open while the migration is processing?

No, that’s the beauty of this plugin. It runs on a SAAS-based technology and a secure web address that runs everything in the background. Once you start the migration you can close the window at any time and come back to it later while it’s still running, no need to wait for hours. You will also receive an email once the migration has completed.

7) Can this plugin be used to migrate to Liquid Web VPS plans?

BlogVault is designed to be used to migrate to Managed WordPress and Managed WooCommerce plans on Nexcess and does not support WordPress sites running on VPS plans on Liquid Web.

Did not work even in their own managed WP environment

By Skip Shean (skipshean) on July 21, 2025

Tried copying a production site at Nexcess to a dev server also at Nexcess. Verified all data entered correctly. Would not work. I've had problems with this thing every time they recommend I use it. Drives me crazy that they don't ever fix it.

Crashed Server!

Crashed my liquid web cloud VPS server. Rebooting didn't fix it. Had to restore the server from a backup. Unreal

Worked perfectly and flawlessly on my 3 sites

By Dale Reardon (dalereardonmdm) on April 10, 2020

Hi, I had 3 sites: A simple Divi theme based site; A Divi theme based site with WooCommerce basic setup; An advanced Avada powered site using WooCommerce, membership plugin, blog and much more. The plugin worked perfectly to transfer my 3 sites and then once I followed the rest of the going live checklist my sites went live on LiquidWeb instantly. It really was a perfect stress free experience. I highly recommend this plugin and also note that it works on Nexcess managed WordPress hosting which is what I used - Nexcess hosting is a sub brand that is now part of LiquidWeb. Dale.

Easy - even for non technical folks

A great plugin. LiquidWeb provides lots of videos and documentation for moving sites over to their managed WordPress environment. I was able to move my site, update DNS, and push everything live within 30 minutes. Super easy.

Simplest way to migrate or clone a site

By Francis Smith (fs1995) on March 13, 2018

Very useful plugin for migrating to Managed WordPress, and also for cloning existing sites on the platform.

quick and painless

By walilkoa on March 1, 2018

the integration with the managed wordpress platform is perfect; set up your target site at liquidweb, and the dashboard feeds you all the information you need for the plugin. install and be free from your old host 🙂

Easy!
