Unable to Migrate WordPress Site from Pantheon to Live Hosting Using
-
I created a complete WordPress website on Pantheon for development/testing. Now I want to migrate the site to my real/live hosting server using All-in-One WP Migration.
However, the migration is not working properly. The plugin is unable to complete the export/import process.
Has anyone migrated a site from Pantheon before?
Are there any special settings, restrictions, or steps required when moving from Pantheon to normal/shared hosting? -
Hi @qxmahi, their docs list All-in-One WP Migration as a known issue because it can try to store the site’s code, database, and files in version control, which can break Pantheon deploy workflows. Pantheon’s suggested route is to use their automated backups from the Site Dashboard:

This forum is for WordPress.com-hosted sites, so if the destination is a regular self-hosted WordPress install, the better places to ask are:
