Апісанне
InstaMigrate provides authenticated REST API endpoints that enable full WordPress site migrations between servers. It handles database export/import with binary-safe hex encoding, file archiving and transfer, and serialization-aware search-replace for domain changes.
Features:
- Database export with binary-safe hex encoding (preserves serialized PHP data)
- Database import with streaming line-by-line parsing (handles large dumps)
- File upload, download, archiving (tar.gz/zip), and extraction
- Serialization-aware search-replace for domain migrations
- Dual authentication: API key header or WordPress Application Passwords
- WP-CLI detection (informational, reported in status endpoint)
- Admin UI showing API key and endpoint documentation
Important: This plugin grants full database and filesystem access via its REST API. Deactivate and delete it immediately after your migration is complete.

Часта задаваныя пытанні
-
Where do I find my API key?
-
Go to Tools > InstaMigrate in your WordPress admin. The API key is displayed there and can be regenerated if needed.
-
Is this plugin safe to leave active?
-
No. This plugin exposes powerful migration endpoints. Always deactivate and delete it after your migration is complete.
-
Does it handle serialized data during search-replace?
-
Yes. The search-replace engine correctly unserializes PHP data, performs replacements recursively, then re-serializes with updated byte counts.
-
What authentication methods are supported?
-
Two methods: (1)
X-Insta-Keyheader with the plugin API key, or (2) WordPress Application Passwords via HTTP Basic Auth (requires admin privileges).

1.5.0
- Internal version alignment (header and constant now both report 1.5.0)
- No functional changes from 1.4.0
1.4.0
- Security: Permission callbacks now require
manage_network(super admin) on multisite, instead ofmanage_optionswhich subsite admins may have - Security: File concat (
/files/concat) output restricted to plugin temp directory only - Security: File search-replace (
/files/search-replace) restricted to uploads directory only - Security: File upload (
/files/upload) destination restricted to uploads directory only - Security: File search-replace now uses WP_Filesystem for reads and writes instead of direct PHP file functions
- Change: Temp directory moved from
wp-content/insta-migrate-tmp/towp-content/uploads/insta-migrate-tmp/per wp.org guidelines
1.3.0
- Removed all exec()/shell_exec() calls per wp.org plugin guidelines
- Removed
/wp-cliREST endpoint (required exec) - Archive creation and extraction now use PharData/ZipArchive exclusively
- Binary detection (has_wp_cli) now uses hardcoded path checks only
1.2.0
- New:
/db/fix-prefixendpoint — fixes usermeta meta_key and options option_name values after a migration where the table prefix changed. Prevents users losing roles/capabilities when the sed prefix-rewrite missed single-quoted values.
1.1.0
- New:
/files/concatendpoint — concatenate chunked file uploads on the server (for large archives exceeding PHP upload limit) - New:
/files/search-replaceendpoint — search-replace strings within static files on disk (CSS/JS/JSON), used for Elementor CSS domain replacement after DB search-replace - Fix: Numeric columns (INT, BIGINT, DECIMAL, etc.) now exported as plain numbers, not hex-encoded. Prevents MySQL from misinterpreting hex literals as integers.
