MigrateQuill: Backup & Migration

by WPcodeQuill

Description

MigrateQuill is a best securing for your WordPress site data Migrate and moving it to new Website or Hosting. It allows you to create full site backups, export your database, and migrate your WordPress installation to a new host.

Designed to work within standard hosting limits, MigrateQuill uses a chunking process to export and import data. This bypasses common server limits (like upload_max_filesize), allowing you to back up and restore large sites on shared hosting website.

Features

Site Backups: Back up your database, themes, plugins, and media.
Migration Tools: Clone your site and move it to a new domain.
Chunking Uploads: Handles large WordPress installations by splitting files into 2MB pieces during transfer.
Archive Protection: Backup files are stored in the uploads directory and protected by Apache .htaccess rules and randomized filenames.
Database Search & Replace: Updates URLs when migrating to a new domain.
Server Diagnostics: Built-in dashboard checks your server’s PHP memory, upload limits, and folder permissions.

Installation

Upload the migratequill-backup-migration folder to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory, or install directly through the WordPress plugins screen.
Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ screen in WordPress.
Navigate to the new ‘MigrateQuill’ menu in your admin dashboard to manage your backups.

Faq

Does this work on multi-site?

Currently, MigrateQuill is optimized for single WordPress installations.

Where are my backups stored?

Backups are securely stored in a protected folder inside your wp-content/uploads/migratequill-backups/ directory.

Why does my import show a “Server Error”?

If your import fails, check the “Help & Server Requirements” tab in the plugin. Make sure your server’s upload_max_filesize, post_max_size, and memory_limit are set higher than the size of your backup .zip file.
