WP Engine Site Migration

I ended up only being able to migrate the database and the themes directory. Every time I tried to include plugins or uploads, it timed out. I ended up tar.gz the plugins and uploads folders and extracting them on Flywheel using SSH. It worked, but it's not a great experience, especially considering how excellent the old Flywheel Migrator plugin was.

Due to issues during the migration process, we had to cancel the operation. The plugin indicated 0B of data was migrated and concluded the migration was completed. I attempted to start the migration again but could not find a way to reattempt the migration.

The migration doesn't work, with an error of "Unexpected token '". Is it possible to use the old plugin?

Clicking continue simply doesn't do anything. Any ideas?

Error initializing Invalid response from remote site.

When starting a migration for the first time I had a fail, an error with some database. Maybe it wasn't that but one migration didn't get fully complete so I had to restart. The problem was that now my connection information seemed OK but when starting the migration the Replace showed an old domain from my source site. I notice this and tried to fix it on the custom migration options but the migration always ended up with the old URL. I had to restore the original clear backup on WPengine to be able to get 'connection information' that did not generate me this problem. That seems to be the solution. I hope that this can help you, thanks.

I spent 7 hours waiting for this tool to migrate a 14GB site to WPE. I kept stalling out and never got past 5% and was stuck in the tables portion of the migration. I cancelled it and downloaded the legacy migration tool and it's screaming along. Took only a few minutes to do the tables and now just a few minutes later it's over 10% done on the files. I may have to find some other tool or service when the legacy one stops working. Sad.

We're noticing really slow transfer times with the new migration plugin (often less than 1Gb per hour). What would be a normal expectation for transfer rate? A couple of weeks back it seemed way faster, but the last week plus, it's been painfully slow. (Even the old migration plugin has been really spotty for us lately too. It will transfer just a small bit of media before saying it's "finished" even though most of the media never made it over. So we have to re-run the migration multiple time, sometimes a dozen or more, for it to fully transfer all the media over.) I realize they are probably utilizing two totally different networks, but just a bummer that both are problematic at the moment. We're spending way more time on migrations than we did in the past.

Headline says it all... had to use the old deprecated plugin for the migration to work. The failures are a huge negative for me (has wasted a lot of time), as this was rock-solid in the past. I still haven't found a host I like as much as WPE, but I'm certainly more to alternatives. I hope WPE fixes this critical part of their offering.
