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

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();
});
  1. Go to your All-in-One WP Migration > Backups page and you should be able to use the Restore button now.

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();

worked, thanks bro

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();

The solution worked like a charm! Saved so much of my time.
