My backup and migration plugin is not working
Easy Blog Networks already take care of backup so there's no need to install such plugins. You can download your blog's backup (database and WordPress files) with just a click on the blog's info page.
By default, we use Zstandard compression for backups because it's the fastest and most efficient method.
Once you download the backup, you can use one of the following tools to extract the archive:
- https://peazip.github.io/zstandard-compression-utility.html (Windows)
- https://www.tc4shell.com/en/7zip/modern7z/ plugin for 7-zip (Windows)
- https://www.keka.io/en/ (macOS)
Clone/Import plugin
We block the most common migration plugin since they're known to cause issues - breaks WordPress tables and conflict with our core plugin.
We have an automatic
transfer process you can use for moving blogs over to the EBN servers.
Please note though that import within EBN servers is not possible for various reasons, the three most common reasons are:
- we highly discourage re-using a deindexed blog content to a new domain,
- duplicate content is a bad, bad idea, and the
- system blocks zip upload/download.
We also have a simplified working process for
moving blogs to a different hosting provider.
