12 years ago today, ServMask shipped its first line of code.
5M+ active installs. 60M+ sites moved. Every migration, every backup, every restore still runs because a small team sweats the details no one else sees.
Happy 12th birthday to All-in-One WP Migration. 🎂
MariaDB introduced column types that MySQL does not have: INET4, INET6, UUID, VECTOR. If your site uses any of these and you migrate to a host running standard MySQL, the import fails at the database level with no obvious fix.
All-in-One WP Migration v7.103 shipped a refactored database engine that handles this automatically. Storage engine conversion, collation mismatches, and MariaDB-specific types are all resolved on import.
WordPress stores serialized data in the database. If you run a plain SQL find-and-replace to update URLs after migration, you will corrupt every serialized string that contains the old URL.
The fix is to use a serialization-aware tool. WP-CLI’s wp search-replace handles this. So does All-in-One WP Migration, automatically on import.
All-in-One WP Migration v7.103 is live on https://t.co/mh1APtsf6R.
A completely refactored database engine built to handle every migration you throw at it. MariaDB support for modern column types, security hardening, and improved handling across hosting environments.
We think you are going to love this one.

After migrating WordPress, always re-save your permalinks. Go to Settings > Permalinks and click Save Changes without changing anything.
This regenerates the .htaccess rewrite rules for the new server. Skipping this is why most people get 404 errors on every page except the homepage after migration.
All-in-One WP Migration has been used on over 60 million WordPress sites since 2013.
One plugin. One-click export. One-click import. Works with any hosting provider.

The number one cause of failed WordPress migrations is not the transfer itself. It is forgetting to test afterward.
Permalinks, SSL, email delivery, cron jobs, payment gateways. Any of these can silently break. Always run through a post-migration checklist before calling it done
Worried about losing search rankings during a WordPress migration?
The SEO risk depends entirely on the type of migration. A host change is low risk. A domain change is high risk. A full redesign is the highest.
We ranked all 6 scenarios: https://t.co/E8XecGB8UA
WordPress multisite migrations have more failure points than single-site moves. Shared user tables, per-site media directories, network-level plugins, and domain mapping all need careful handling.
We covered all 5 migration scenarios: https://t.co/o0Q2geg7eF
White screen after migration? 404 on every page? Database connection error?

Quick tip for anyone migrating WordPress:
Edit your local hosts file to point your domain to the new server IP. This lets you test the site on the new host before touching DNS. Your visitors stay on the old server the whole time.
Zero-downtime migration without any special tools.
Before migrating WordPress to a new host, lower your DNS TTL to 300 seconds at least 48 hours in advance.
When you switch DNS after migration, the change propagates in minutes instead of hours. Most guides skip this step. It is the single easiest way to reduce downtime.
Migrating a WooCommerce store is not the same as migrating a regular WordPress site. Live orders, payment gateways, subscription records, and customer data all need special handling.

Switching WordPress hosts? We put together a complete migration guide covering three methods (plugin, manual, and host-managed), DNS preparation, and a post-migration checklist.
No fluff, just the steps: https://t.co/qw8IkY6nCS
