All-in-One WP Migration Restore From Server (without pro version)

If you don't want to pay for the PRO version of this plugin, and you want to use the "Restore from Server" functionally that was present in the version 6.77, open your browser’s dev tools and run the code below in the console:

Last confirmed working: March 2025 on version 7.91

Thanks @xxxdepy, and @tanveeratlogicx for confirming this still works in version 7.91!

var modelimport = new Ai1wm.Import();

var storage = Ai1wm.Util.random(12);
var options = Ai1wm.Util.form('#ai1wm-backups-form')
  .concat({ name: 'storage', value: storage })
  .concat({ name: 'archive', value: 'REPLACE-WITH-ARCHIVE-NAME' });

// Set global params
modelimport.setParams(options);

// Start import
modelimport.start();

Note: Replace 'REPLACE-WITH-ARCHIVE-NAME' with the string from the data-archive attribute of the restore button next to the file.

To make this change survive a page reload, you must edit the plugin files (warning: plugin updates will remove your edits):

1. Open the js file: wp-content/plugins/all-in-one-wp-migration/lib/view/assets/javascript/backups.min.js
2. On line 1208, replace the code below:

$('.ai1wm-backup-restore').click(function (e) {
  e.preventDefault();

  if (!!Ai1wm.MultisiteExtensionRestore) {
    var restore = new Ai1wm.MultisiteExtensionRestore($(this).data('archive'));
  } else if (!!Ai1wm.UnlimitedExtensionRestore) {
    var restore = new Ai1wm.UnlimitedExtensionRestore($(this).data('archive'));
  } else if (!!Ai1wm.FreeExtensionRestore) {
    var restore = new Ai1wm.FreeExtensionRestore($(this).data('archive'));
  } else {
    var restore = new Ai1wm.Restore($(this).data('archive'));
  }
});

with the following code:

$('#ai1wm-backups-list').on('click', '.ai1wm-backup-restore', function (e) {
  e.preventDefault();
  var modelimport = new Import();

  var storage = Ai1wm.Util.random(12);
  var options = Ai1wm.Util.form('#ai1wm-backups-form')
    .concat({ name: 'storage', value: storage })
    .concat({ name: 'archive', value: $(this).data('archive') });

  // Set global params
  modelimport.setParams(options);

  // Start import
  modelimport.start();
});

3. Go to your All-in-One WP Migration > Backups page and you should be able to use the Restore button now.

Thank you Very much @xxxdepy @giovanni-d

in my case i found the code in 1725 not , 1208, than you

Worked like a charm thank you

Looks like @xxxdepy's solution still works in February 2023.

Not working on 7.7.1 version....

@alvindex - xxxdepy's solution worked for me on 7.7.1 yesterday. Were you using that or the original one by giovanni-d?

@alvindex - xxxdepy's solution worked for me on 7.7.1 yesterday. Were you using that or the original one by giovanni-d?

My mistake...sorry
I made the modification and uploaded the modified file by FTP.
Important condition, empty the "ai1wm-backups" folder EXCEPT the backup file before activating the plugin.
to finish, empty the browser cache AND reconnect to the site.

• block plugin update.
  Now is working !!!
  thank you @Pikamander2

Can't get this to work for me, sadly. Working on All-in-One WP Migration 7.72

Tried @alvindex 's solution, although there are some steps I don't understand:

What do you mean by "modified file"? In which way does it have to be modified?
What do you mean by "reconnect to the site"?
This is what I tried:

Install All-in-One WP Migration (leave deactivated)
Upload backup file to "ai1wm-backups" folder
Empty folder except for backup file (some files always reappear, e.g. robots.txt, index.html, and a few more)
Activate plugin
Empty browser cache
Not sure what is meant by "reconnect to the site", I tried closing the tab and re-opening it
Open "Import" screen of AIO WP Migration
Paste @xxxdepy code snippet into console whilst replacing "REPLACE-WITH-ARCHIVE-NAME" with the name of the backup file
Hit Enter
A popup "Preparing for import" opens and I see a loading animation - after a few minutes, the popup closes and nothing happened.

What did I miss?

Thanks in advance!

This is working for 7.74 as well

There's no need to edit the plugin files. xxxderpy's simple JavaScript console solution still works in the latest version.

var filename = 'FILENAME.wpress';
var importer = new Ai1wm.Import();
var storage = Ai1wm.Util.random(12);
var options = Ai1wm.Util.form('#ai1wm-backups-form').concat({name: 'storage', value: storage}).concat({name: 'archive', value: filename});
importer.setParams(options);
importer.start();

** UPDATE OCTOER 2022 **

If you want to quickly start the Restore process and don't care about having that option always enabled, then just fire up the Developer console on the browser and run this while on the Restore page

        var modelimport = new Ai1wm.Import();
	
	var storage = Ai1wm.Util.random(12);
	var options = Ai1wm.Util.form('#ai1wm-backups-form').concat({ name: 'storage', value: storage }).concat({ name: 'archive', value: 'REPLACE-WITH-ARCHIVE-NAME'});

	// Set global params
	modelimport.setParams(options);

	// Start import
	modelimport.start();

REPLACE-WITH-ARCHIVE-NAME - you will find this in the data-archive attribute of the restore button next to the file. It's just a string.

29.05.2023 Still works with latest version. 👍

Thanks for the solutions 👍

$('#ai1wm-backups-list').on('click', '.ai1wm-backup-restore', function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
var modelimport = new Import();

var storage = Ai1wm.Util.random(12);
var options = Ai1wm.Util.form('#ai1wm-backups-form').concat({ name: 'storage', value: storage }).concat({ name: 'archive', value: $(this).data('archive') });

// Set global params
modelimport.setParams(options);

// Start import
modelimport.start();
}); // List file content

This works :) just make sure to clear cache or login from incognito after the change

perfect!

@xxxdepy your code still works. Also guys, don't forget to put full file name with .wpress at the end :)

OMG，thanks and love you guys so much. The following still works in January 26th, 2024. (YES 2024!!)

To reiterate, there's no need to edit any plugin files. A simple console command on the Backups page is all you need.

var filename = 'FILENAME.wpress';
var importer = new Ai1wm.Import();
var storage = Ai1wm.Util.random(12);
var options = Ai1wm.Util.form('#ai1wm-backups-form').concat({name: 'storage', value: storage}).concat({name: 'archive', value: filename});
importer.setParams(options);
importer.start();

var filename = 'FILENAME.wpress';
var importer = new Ai1wm.Import();
var storage = Ai1wm.Util.random(12);
var options = Ai1wm.Util.form('#ai1wm-backups-form').concat({name: 'storage', value: storage}).concat({name: 'archive', value: filename});
importer.setParams(options);
importer.start();

This restored my site successfully, but the site is not reachable again. While it was in the first place. So I reset the website and restored again, but it still doesn't work. I cleared cache and cookies in the browser but to no avail. The error says :
"The page isn’t redirecting properly
An error occurred during a connection to hitechpharma.net.
This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept cookies.". Help!!!

OMG，thanks and love you guys so much. The following still works in January 26th, 2024. (YES 2024!!)

Thanks a lot! It still works at version 7.8.1, April 2024!

There's no need to edit the plugin files. xxxderpy's simple JavaScript console solution still works in the latest version.

importer.setParams(options);
importer.start();

*tried this on 3.82
just put on console, refresh and the apply the restoration, wait and done..
thank you

Tried and working in version 7.46
Executed this on console as others suggested

Still working on 7.83. Thanks for saving the day, just need to use this tool once as client only have this backup file done previously.

I just tried it on Version 7.91 and to my Surprise this still worked! Great Job.

Tanks! @xxxdepy !! still working in 03/04/2025

Sadly I'm keep having the 500 internal server error at restoring database step. No matter what method I do, edit backup file or console code. I even tried old version of the plugin which used to work really well for me :(

@vinhdatgn - The plugin version is unrelated. You would need to check your error logs to see what's causing the 500 error.

90% of the time, it's due to a PHP version issue, like an old plugin not being updated to support PHP 8.

Change your new site's PHP version to match the old site, or disable whichever plugin is throwing the error.
