Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Open Migration - Unlimited Site Transfer & Backup

The archive is sliced into small pieces in the browser and reassembled on the server, so your host's upload_max_filesize and post_max_size limits do not apply. The chunk size is chosen automatically from your server's own limits.
There is no fixed ceiling. Both the export and the import run in small batches, and each batch stops before the server's time limit and picks up where it left off. Multi-gigabyte sites work on ordinary shared hosting. The practical limit is disk space: the server needs room for the archive alongside the site itself, and the Export tab checks this before it starts.
Yes, and that is what it is designed for. It does not need shell access, WP-CLI, cron, or any raised PHP limit. If your host can run WordPress and has the ZipArchive extension, it works.
Most small sites finish in a few minutes. Time scales with the number of files and the size of the database rather than with disk size alone, so a site with tens of thousands of small media files takes longer than a single large video. Progress is reported throughout, and closing the tab does not corrupt anything - the export or import resumes.
No. The conversion runs automatically as part of the import and reports how many database rows it changed.
Yes. Media files are copied as they are, and the URL conversion rewrites references inside serialised option values and JSON-escaped block markup, which is where page builders such as Elementor, Divi and WPBakery keep their data. A plain database search and replace corrupts serialised values; this does not.
Yes. The prefix is recorded in the archive and converted during the restore, including the prefixed keys inside options and usermeta.
Yes, in both directions. Local addresses like http://localhost/mysite are handled the same as any other, including the port number if you use one.
Yes. Export the live site and import it onto a second install at a different address. The URL conversion means the copy works immediately at its own address without any manual editing.
Restoring the database replaces the destination's user accounts with the ones from the archive, which invalidates your current session. Log back in with the username and password from the original site. If your account exists on both sites with administrator rights, the plugin signs you back in automatically.
