FAQ

What makes Prime Mover unique to other existing migration and backup plugins?

  • The free version has no restrictions on package size, number of websites, or migration mode (single-site or multisite will work). (Note: Exporting/Restoring a multisite main site is a PRO feature)
  • The free version supports WordPress multisite migration on any number of subsites, except that exporting/restoring the multisite main site is a PRO feature.
  • It can back up WordPress multisite sub-sites or migrate multisite.
  • No need to delete your WordPress installation, create/delete the database, and all other technical stuff. It will save you a lot of time.
  • This is not hosting-dependent. Prime Mover is designed to work with any hosting company you choose.
  • The free version has full multisite migration functionality, usually missing in most migration plugins’ free versions.
  • Full versatility—migrate from your local host dev site or from a live site to another live site.
  • The entire migration will be done inside the WordPress admin. Anyone with administrator access can do it. Hiring a freelancer to do the job is unnecessary and will save you money.
  • You won’t have to mess with complicated migration settings; the free version has built-in settings. You can choose only a few options to export and migrate—that’s it.
  • You can save, download, delete, and migrate packages using the management page.
  • No need to worry about PHP configuration and server settings. Compatible with most default PHP server settings, even in limited shared hosting.
  • Prime Mover works with modern PHP versions 5.6 to 8.5+ (Google Drive feature requires at least PHP 7.4).
  • The code follows PHP-fig coding standards (standard PHP coding guidelines).
  • The free version supports backup and restoration of non-UTF8 sites. However, you need the PRO version to migrate non-UTF8 to the UTF8 (utf8mb4) database charset and vice versa.
  • After migration, you don’t need to worry about setting up users or changing passwords. It does not overwrite existing site users.

Just migrated a new website from local to server, absolutely flawless – and intuitive, no need to spend hours going over documentation or having to create an account. What a timesaver! Thank you!

It’s just awesome ! 😍 I only had a small issue when downloading my export package from a multisite subsite. Nothing happened, I just saw the message “analysing files”. After several minutes, an error message appeared and directed me to a page to resolve the problem. There, I found a solution suggesting that I upload my file directly via FTP to a specific directory. I then clicked the import button again and wow — one minute later, my subsite had become a standalone installation. Thanks, thanks, thanks — and bravo! If I had just one small recommendation, it would be to include a short sentence under Import Package like: “In case of any issue, upload your import file directly to the folder …” But this is really just a minor comment — everything is absolutely perfect.
