Readme

The Exporter

Verification-first WordPress migration for very large sites.

Export and import chunked, SHA-256 verified packages — built for 50GB+ sites where a single zip file is not an option.

Features

  • Separate packages for database, uploads, themes, plugins, mu-plugins, and config
  • Chunked segments (500MB–2GB), never one huge archive
  • Checksums and manifest validation before import
  • Resumable jobs with restore points
  • Manual transfer (SFTP / cPanel), connected site push, or browser transfer for small sites
  • WP-CLI for production workflows

Requirements

  • WordPress 6.0+
  • PHP 7.4+
