In reply to: [Prime Mover - Migrate WordPress Website & Backups] Incomplete backup/restoreHello JJ,
Thank you for the follow-up reply! Yes regarding your question – Prime Mover does require child theme having complete headers in it’s
style.csssuch as version number, etc. This is used to compare the theme versions between the source and target site.So as a suggestion, make sure to have a complete child theme
style.cssheader. It’s usually the best practice to have complete header information. It’s because you will know (or other plugins know) that you are using a different child theme version – so it can decide whether it’s outdated or a more recent one.You can update your child theme
style.cssin the source site as follows (with complete info):Theme Name: Your Child Theme Name Theme URI: https://yourchildtheme.test/ Description: Your child theme description. Author: YourChildTHemeAuthor Author URI: https://yourchildtheme.test/ Template: yourparentthemeslug Version: 1.0Regarding the third party plugins license issues – maybe it requires activation again after the migration on target site (consult other plugins docs) – it is why you see a warning. But this should not cause any fatal error or missing data.
However take note that if you are migrating from multisite to single-site, there are some plugins that are not meant to be used on single-sites. Remember to exclude these multisite only plugins (you can deactivate them first in the source site before exporting). It is because sometimes these plugins return fatal error when activated on the single-site- thus causing incomplete migration.
Once you have all the info updated (e.g. your child theme
style.cssheaders) – try creating an export again using Prime Mover latest version. And check if it resolves the issue.In addition – the migrate by parts approach is also useful, you can try that as well if the above suggestions still does not work. It allows you migrate the database only via Prime Mover thus removing any possible incompatibility issues with your plugins / themes or even media files since these are moved manually to your target site.
As always – we are willing to assist further if you want to share some logs and troubleshooting information (please refer to my first reply) so we can reproduce this issue in our end. Thank you again!
Cheers,
Emerson

In reply to: [Prime Mover - Migrate WordPress Website & Backups] Incomplete backup/restoreThank you for using Prime Mover plugin! Sorry to hear you have issues in backup and restore. We tried to reproduce the issues using both WordPress 6.3.4 and WordPress 6.4.4 using Prime Mover 1.9.8. In all testing instances – we are not able to reproduce the issue.
To ensure that the tested package includes media, plugins, database – the complete export mode is used to create the package. The detailed steps we tested are as follows:
- Setup a complete working test site in WordPress 6.3.4.
- Install Prime Mover 1.9.8 (FREE).
- Install and activate Prime Mover 1.9.8.
- Create a backup of the site in WordPress 6.3.4.
- Reset site back to fresh WordPress install.
- Delete plugins/themes media files in uploads directory.
- Re-activate Prime Mover 1.9.8
- Restore the package in WordPress 6.3.4 – Result: The site restored completely including full database, media and plugins/themes.
- Upgrade WordPress version to 6.4.4
- Backup a complete export using Prime Mover 1.9.8.
- Setup another site in WordPress 6.4.4.
- Restore the package. Result: The package restored to another site in WordPress 6.4.4 was completed including database, media and plugins/themes.
We tested using PHP 7.4 (which is the most common PHP version used by users in these WP versions). We are closing this ticket here since it’s not reproducible.
If you still need technical assistance – please provide us a complete migration logs as well as the
WPRIMEpackage by following the steps here. Please take note that these logs or WPRIME packages are not meant to be shared publicly here in this forum – so please share it only to the developers. Thank you!Forum: Reviews

In reply to: [Prime Mover - Migrate WordPress Website & Backups] www converted to WP PathThanks again for the details – we are able to reproduce this issue in our test server. This is now fixed with the latest Prime Mover 1.9.6-beta3.
You can download it here and you can use this beta version to restore the original WPRIME package to your target site. This should fix the issue. We suggest to start with the fresh WordPress install mode if possible before restoring the package.
We will release a new update (version 1.9.6) once we are done with all the remaining tests. It will be around a week from now. Cheers!

In reply to: [Prime Mover - Migrate WordPress Website & Backups] www converted to WP PathThank you for using Prime Mover plugin! Sorry to hear you have issues with incorrect search and replacements of URLs. This is a bit strange issue and this is the first time we have seen issues like this.
To fix this in your restored site having this issue – the following workarounds can be implemented:
- In your target site options table e.g.
wp_options, make sure to set the following options:siteurlandhometo your correct domain name URL. For example:
siteurl=https://www.domainname.testhome=https://www.domainname.testIf you target site does not use https, change the above values from
https://tohttp://so it will be:siteurl=http://www.domainname.testhome=http://www.domainname.test- Once this is corrected, your WordPress admin will be accessible (but your front end and some parts are broken) but you should be able to login.
- Make sure to have working backups in place before you proceed below.
- Install and activate Better Search Replace plugin.
- Go to Tools -> Better Search Replace.
- In “Search for” field, enter:
home/wplive/web/wp-live - In “Replace with” field, enter:
www - In “Select tables“, select all affected database tables belonging only to the target site.
- Proceed to search and replace by clicking “Run Search/Replace“.
- It will output the dry run results. If all looks good, unchecked “Run as dry run” and click again “Run Search/Replace” to finally implement the search and replace inside your database.
This should fix the incorrect replacements back to expected results so it will change the following:
FROM:
src="https://home/wplive/web/wp-live.youtube.com/embed/sil6VPXn1Cc?feature=oembed" frameborder="0"TO:
src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/sil6VPXn1Cc?feature=oembed" frameborder="0"And all other affected instances.
==================================
Now we are interested to reproduce this specific issue in our test servers . If you can send the
WPRIMEpackage that you have used to restore to your target site – that would be great.You can temporarily share the
WPRIMEpackage via G Drive / Dropbox or other cloud platforms and send us the link to download the package.This way – we will exactly know how those
wwwgets replaced incorrectly and hopefully we could fix this in future release. Thanks again!Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [Prime Mover - Migrate WordPress Website & Backups] Open *.wprime fileHello Patrick,
Thank you for using Prime Mover plugin! Regarding your question – yes it’s possible to open and extract the
WPRIMEfile. This is the complete tutorial.However, please note that all information from the extraction is meant to be read only and should not be usable for complete manual restoration. It because the SQL file is not a raw SQL file but it’s designed for Prime Mover only processing. However – the plugins / themes/ media files inside the package can be manually extracted and copied if needed.
But for correct site package restoration – you should only use the Prime Mover plugin to restore the
WPRIMEpackage it to your site. If you cannot restore the package because it’s corrupt – you can refer to this guide on handling corrupted packages.That’s it, I hope this answers this question. I’m marking this one as closed. Feel free to open a new ticket if you still need technical assistance. Thanks!
Hello Paul,
We support any database migration as long as it’s also commonly supported by WordPress. So this means that most WordPress based hosting now supports MySQL and MariaDB – so this is supported by default when you migrate database.
Regarding database versions – it would be best to stick to the database version that also supported by latest WordPress versions for best compatibility. So currently this is MySQL version 5.7 or greater and MariaDB 10.4 or greater . For details on minimum technical requirements with Prime Mover – we have this documentation that shows the complete minimum supported requirements including the database specifications.
Regarding your question on binary logs – currently the database migration/ backup export only contains the
.sqlfile of the site. It does not use any binary logs or positions in the backup. This is the same as when running simplemysqldumpcommand when backing up the database. In addition – incremental backups using binary log is also not currently supported.That’s it, thanks again for your question. Cheers!
