We’ve written at length about our love for All-in-One WP Migration, a beautifully simple and easy-to-use tool for WordPress site migration. The plugin is under active development by ServMask, which recently became an official Friend of WPShout (you can see them in our sidebar!), and we stay in touch with them as they develop new products.
ServMask recently launched something really cool: a premium extension for All-in-One WP Migration that makes migrating WordPress Multisite installs as easy as migrating regular installs.
On WordPress Multisite
Multisite is a WordPress core feature that allows you to create multiple WordPress sites from a single WordPress instance; this collection of sites is called a “Multisite Network.”
The most famous Multisite Network, with many millions of individual sites, is WordPress.com. Multisite can also be great in, for example, educational settings: with it, you can set up a centrally administered network of many similar sites, for individual academic departments or student blogs. It has similar uses in business and elsewhere—Multisite immediately suggests itself anywhere there’s a need for an individually maintained but centrally administered network of sites.
Most of what I know about Multisite I learned from a brilliant presentation by Taylor McCaslin at this year’s WordCamp Boston. I urge you to check that out if you want to know when, why, and how to use Multisite.
This product is VERY slow and does not transfer all the data correctly. Save your time and your money and do a manual WordPress migration.
