About this plugin
Reprint Server connects your WordPress site to the open-source Reprint command-line client. The client can download the site’s database and files, build a local copy, and synchronize files with the source site.
Transfers stream in chunks and can resume after interruption. You do not need to create one large backup archive on your hosting account.
The plugin provides the server API and its settings page. You need the separate command-line client to run transfers. org, or use the GitHub release mirror.
There is no hosted Reprint account or subscription requirement.
Authentication
On hosts with OpenSSL, enroll the client’s Migration Token under Tools > Reprint Server. The client keeps the private key and signs its requests. Hosts without OpenSSL use a connection token instead.
org build provides downloads only and does not include file-push or database-push implementations. The GitHub build also supports push.
New keys and connection tokens authorize downloads only. In the GitHub build, file push requires a separate administrator grant. While enabled, an authorized client can upload, replace, and delete files in the site’s document root, except excluded paths.
Hosting providers can manage this permission centrally.
2 or newer and is not supported on multisite networks.
2 or newer. 20 or newer. Use a maintained PHP version when your host allows it.
Site data and privacy
The plugin sends site data to the Reprint client you authorize. Exported databases and files may contain personal data, password hashes, and configuration secrets. Treat client credentials and downloaded site copies as private.
Use HTTPS for remote transfers, and remove client access when it is no longer needed.
On multisite, network administrators manage access. Enrolled keys or the network connection token can authorize downloads from sites in that network. See the multisite documentation before transferring a network or an individual site.
