## விளக்கம்

#### SiteGround Migrator: the easiest way to move your site to SiteGround

This plugin is designed to automate the transfer of a WordPress instance to a SiteGround
hosting account. It can’t be used to transfer a WordPress instance to another hosting
provider.

Important: This solution is not suitable for migrating localhost WordPress sites
or for Full Multisite installations (separate Multisite blogs are fine).

#### How to Use

First, you need to get a transfer token from your SiteGround account. You can do
this through the WordPress Migrator tool located in the WordPress section of your
SiteGround hosting control panel.

Once you select the domain name that you want to initiate the transfer for, our 
system will generate a transfer token for you.Paste the token in your SiteGround
Migrator plugin and press Initiate Transfer. That’s all!

## Screenshots

 * If domains are different, the plugin will inform you about the changes we will
   make

 * Downloading your site files to the SiteGround server
 * [[
 * Once data migration is completed, we will set your site on the new server, even
   change its url if necessary
 * [[
 * Migration completed! We’ve generated a temporary URL for you to verify your site
   on the new server

## Installation

#### Automatic Installation

 1. Visit Plugins -> Add New
 2. Search for “SiteGround Migrator”
 3. Activate SiteGround Migrator from your Plugins page.
 4. Go to Plugins -> Activate SiteGround Migrator.

#### Manual Installation

 1. Upload the “siteground-migrator” folder to the “/wp-content/plugins/” directory
 2. Activate the SiteGround Migrator plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
 3. Go to Plugins -> Activate SiteGround Migrator.

#### WP-CLI Support

In version 1.0.13 we’ve added WP-CLI command for migrations.

 * wp migrator start transfertoken –email=your@email.com

## அடிக்கடி கேட்கப்படும் கேள்விகள்

### Does it work with Localhost environments?

We download your site content directly on the SiteGround server, that’s why we can’t
access your content if it’s hosted on a local environment.

### Does it work with WordPress.com?

No, the plugin is designed to migrate from stand-alone WordPress installations. 
If you want to migrate from WordPress.com, please check the Guided Transfer service
they offer.

### Does it work with Multisite?

Due to the complexity of MS sites we don’t migrate full MS networks at this point.
However, separate blogs from a MS network can be migrated successfully.

### What content is migrated?

We move only your WordPress content – themes, plugins, uploads. If you have other
applications or content outside WordPress it will not be migrated

### Does it work only with cPanel hosts?

No, we strive to make our plugin work flawlessly on every hosting environment.

### Transfer is completed but I didn’t get a notification?

The plugin uses your current site admin email to notify you that the transfer is
completed. If it fails to send emails you may not receive one upon completion.

### I am getting transfer errors, now what?

Unfortunately, our plugin works on environments that we have no control over. That’s
why it can fail or some hosts. In such cases, please contact our support team via
a ticket in your Help Desk and we will assist you further!

It took almost 2 hours but finally the plugin confirmed “Data Transfer Complete.”
Unfortunately, I quickly discovered that none of the media files had been migrated.
So now I’m stuck downloading those manually to upload to SG. I wish I had know that
the plugin had a problem with images before I started as I would have just used 
Duplicator for the migration (which has never failed me). Lesson learned.

When it works, it’s great. Only works about 30% of the time, as a web dev that’s
migrated ~10 sites in ’25 and ’26

This plugin is hit or miss for me over the last year or two. It seems to work well
if I’m moving within the SiteGround environment, but if I’m migrating from a different
host, it can often get hung up. That said, it’s come in handy on more than one occasion.

Hi SG Guys! Guys, you did that migration tool really perfect. I could not believe
that. Thank you SO much for saving me a huge amount of hours of hard work and patience.

Every time I use this, and I’ve used it a dozen times or more, I have to double 
and triple check which site is the source and which site is the destination. The
documentation does not make it clear, and it’s easy to make a mistake. Getting it
wrong will wipe your existing site and replace it with the blank site you’re attempting
to migrate it to. There’s no reason why they are unable to explain their own product
in plain English, using simple words like FROM and TO.
