Before Starting Your Migration
Before migrating your site to Pressable, you’ll need to have a few things already established:
Obtain Migration Setting Information
Login to https://my.pressable.com and open up the settings page for the site you would like to migrate. Click on the “Migrate Site” tab and find the settings for the automated migration plugin near the top.
You’ll need the settings from here to complete the next steps in the migration process.
Install the Automated Migration Plugin
Login to the site that you will be moving to the Pressable platform (the source site) and navigate to Plugins > Add New. In the plugin search box, search for “Pressable Automated Migration”. When the plugin listing comes up, click on Install and then Activate.
Navigate to the plugin settings page and insert the details that you obtained from the “Migrate” tab inside of https://my.pressable.com.
Migrate the Site
Click on the “Migrate” button and you will see the BlogVault migration page come up. BlogVault will move the site to Pressable servers and provide live updates on the status of the migration. The amount of time a site takes to migrate will vary based on the size of your site.
You will receive an email upon completion of the migration and your migrated site is now visible at the site’s staging URL.
After Migration
After your migration is complete, please review the site to ensure everything was migrated properly. If necessary, you can remigrate the site one last time using the plugin to synchronize any changes that have been made to your live site since the initial migration.
Once you’ve reviewed the site for correctness, you are ready to send your site live
Required information includes an email address, your Pressable SFTP credentials, your Pressable site name, and a destination URL.
