WordPress Migrate Site

Migrate WordPress Site Using WP-CLI

This set of tools is for migrating WordPress systems using WP-CLI. It's released under AGPL with no implied warranty, support, etc.

Folder Structure

The tool requires a web-root folder structure where wp-content is not in the web-root but instead under a directory called public

• $webroot
  • public (where WordPress lives under wp-content)

It creates a backup folder, where it saves an SQL dump

Troubleshooting

Currently only two plugins have caused any issues with this script

• Buckaroo payment gateway for WooCommerce
• Redirection

We advise disabling both plugins during operation of this script, then re-enabling after running

migrate.sh

#!/bin/bash

if [ "$EUID" -ne 0 ]
	then echo "Must be root"
	exit
fi

if[ $# -ne 3 ]; then
    echo "Sorry, we need both the source site, and the destination site"
    echo "Usage:"
    echo "${0} SRCSITE DESTSITE WWWDIR"
    exit
fi

SRCSITE=$1
DSTSITE=$2
WWWDIR=$3

cd WWWDIR
mkdir -p backup
cd backup

mv ../public/wp-content/plugins/woocommerce-buckaroo-gateway ../public/wp-content/plugins/wp-buckaroo

wp search-replace $SRCSITE $DSTSITE --all-tables --precise --recurse-objects --export=migrate-`date +"%Y-%m-%d-%H%M"`.sql --path=`pwd`/../public

mv ../public/wp-content/plugins/wp-buckaroo ../public/wp-content/plugins/woocommerce-buckaroo-gateway
