  Good morning to everyone who are very quick & helpful community members here. My question is —- Is it possible to have a quick relief of having our current WP on-prem website (quite the whole university static web content) be transferred/migrated or could be mirrored to WordPress.com server?

  Actually, we have the situation of having erratic and conflicting plugins especially the PageBuilder tool and the manual update to Debian php latest version. It seemed that we are running out of options and that our sysads are not manifesting competency here as we expect urgent solution.

  Any help or a quick relief on how to propose an acquisition study or hosting subscription in WordPress.com (especially from WordPress engineers/consultants) are very much appreciated.

  Thabk you.

  Lemuel Cabia

  I don’t have a site with WordPress.com yet

  Hey there,

  Happy to help you with this.

  Is it possible to have a quick relief of having our current WP on-prem website (quite the whole university static web content) be transferred/migrated or could be mirrored to WordPress.com server?

  This is totally possible and that can be done using our helpful migration tool as outline here: https://wordpress.com/support/import/

  To note, in order to migrate a site with plugins, the site here at WordPress.com would need the business plan.

  Actually, we have the situation of having erratic and conflicting plugins especially the PageBuilder tool and the manual update to Debian php latest version. 

  On the business plan, it’s fairly straight forward to change the PHP version as detailed here: https://wordpress.com/support/php-version-switching/ so you may not need the plugin that does that for you.

  To note you can install third-party plugins and themes on the business plan. Although, we do not support third-party plugins. This guide will help you learn how to get help with these plugins and themes: https://wordpress.com/support/plugins/get-help-with-plugins-and-themes/

  If the site is experiencing downtime, or something serious, we’ll generally do our best to find out what could be causing that and next steps required in order to solve that.

  I hope this helps so far.
