How to Migrate a WordPress Website to a New Host Using WPvivid Backup Plugin?

So, without further ado, let's get started:

• Step 1- Install the WPvivid Backup Plugin.

To switch your WordPress website from one hosting company to another, you must install the plugin .So First you should install it on your current website. Here's a short guide to installing the plugin:

To install the plugin, First navigate to your WordPress dashboard > Plugins > Add New. In the search bar, type in WPvivid Backup Plugin then Install the highlighted plugin and then press the Activate button, as seen in the picture below.

WPvivid has now been installed on the website.

• Step 2- Configuring the Migration Destination Website:

Once done, you can now head on over to the migration destination website. Now, head on over to the Key tab in WPvivid. And here you need to generate a key to continue.

• Step 3- Begin the WPvivid Migration:

Return to the initial WordPress page and then to the Auto-Migration portion of WPvivid. You will find a space here where you must paste the newly created migration Key. Once done, press saves and then scroll down to the bottom of the page.

The next step is to decide what material you want to send. If you want to move the entire WordPress website to the new location, choose Database + Files. Now, select Clone, then Transfer, and the process will begin.

This will initiate the transfer procedure. The conversion will now take several minutes to complete, depending on the scale of your page, the server speed, your internet access, and other factors.

• Step 4- WPvivid will help you complete the migration.

If the transition is complete, navigate to your destination website and select WPvivid>Backup & Restore from the menu. Scroll down to see the latest backup file that was submitted from the originating website.

You can now choose to download, rebuild, or uninstall the backup file. To continue the migration process on your destination website, click on restore.

However, you must first decide if you want to –

1. Restore and rebuild the original domain. or

2. Restore the original territory and leave it alone.

You must pick the first choice if you are transitioning to a new domain. If you intend to move your old domain to the new host as well, choose the second choice.

After you've decided on an alternative, click Restore. Again, this will only take a few minutes to finish. After that, open your website and see if anything has been successfully migrated.

How to optimize The WPvivid Plugin?

WPvivid has a comprehensive configuration panel that allows you to fine-tune how backups and migrations are done. If you have a lot of scripts, it's a good idea to come here and customize the plugin to work for you.

There are two tabs for settings: General and Advanced. Here you can be tinkering with the settings for the migration needs.

1. Enable web hosting/shared hosting optimization mode: This feature allows you to simplify the backup process for shared hosting environments with minimal server capacity.
2. Compress Files: Some web hosting services can prevent you from downloading big zip files, which can be a concern when migrating your WordPress website. However, you can effectively get around this by dividing your backup into several smaller bits.
3.  Exclude larger files: This feature allows you to delete files that are larger than the defined file size.
4. PHP script execution timeout: This will terminate the backup phase as it reaches the required timeout. If your website contains big to medium-sized files, try entering a higher value.
5. PHP Memory Limit for Backup: Increase this value if you get a memory-depleted error when backing up.
6. PHP Memory Limit for Restoration: Increase this value if memory exhaustion occurs during restorations.
