  • 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.

Does this work on multi-site?

Currently, MigrateQuill is optimized for single WordPress installations.

Where are my backups stored?

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.
