 * WPvivid Backup worked better than expected. Thank you very much!
 * After some research, I decided to try WPVivid backup, and I do not regret it.
 * WPvivid Backup helped me transfer a website from one host to another. For extra
   safety, I also wanted a local file backup, so I used that rather than the built-
   in direct migration.
 * I installed WPvivid at the source host, made a backup, downloaded the backup 
   to my computer, installed WPvivid at the target host, from there uploaded the
   backup, and made a restore.
 * In my case, it appears that I after the restore needed to go to:
    _WordPress -
   > Settings -> Media -> Uploading Files -> Store uploads in this folder_ and set
   this to its default value (file path blank) for everything to work properly. 
   This may be due to the fact that my source host used a non-default media upload
   path, which seemed to confuse the Elementor plugin’s content rendering. In any
   case, after this, everything worked.
 * Thank you once more! Recommended.
