About this plugin
Dragon Migrate is a WordPress migration plugin that moves databases without breaking them – to a new domain, a new host, or a staging copy. Every migration runs through a resumable job engine that adapts to your server’s time and memory limits, so it finishes on cheap shared hosting instead of timing out halfway through.
The search and replace is serialization-safe: it unserializes values, replaces inside them, and reserializes, so page builder data and plugin settings survive a domain change intact.
Features
- Database Export – Streamed, gzipped SQL exports with table selection
- Database Import – Resumable imports that pick up where they left off
- Serialization-Safe Search & Replace – Handles nested serialization, Gutenberg block attributes and Elementor data correctly
- Full-Site Archive – Database plus uploads, themes and plugins in a single zip to download and keep (unpacked by hand; the database part imports from the Import tab)
- Backup & Restore – One-click snapshot before a risky change, and a way back
- Dry Run – See exactly what will be replaced before anything is written
- Migration Profiles – Save a configuration and re-run it as often as you need
- WP-CLI – wp dragon-migrate export and wp dragon-migrate find-replace
- Resumable Everything – Row-offset cursors resume mid-table, even on a two-million-row table
Multisite
Multisite is not supported. The plugin detects a multisite installation and disables itself rather than partially working.
No limits
Everything runs on your own server, with no limits: streamed exports, resumable imports, serialization-safe search-replace, dry runs, full-site archives, backups with one-click restore, migration profiles and WP-CLI commands.
