Migrating a WordPress website can be a stressful experience, especially when using plugins that sometimes fail or cause additional problems. In this article, I will show you how to migrate your website using the free Migrate Guru plugin, which offers a smooth and simple process regardless of your host.

Migrate Guru is a free WordPress plugin available in the repository that simplifies the migration process. With its easy-to-use interface and reliable performance, it's quickly becoming the go-to solution for many web developers.

Step-by-Step Migration Process

  1. Install and activate the Migrate Guru plugin on both the source (development) and destination websites.
  2. On the source website, navigate to the Migrate Guru settings and enter your email address. Agree to the terms and click “Migrate Site”.

  4. Click “Migrate” to initiate the process.
