It handles everything automatically — your files, database, themes, plugins, and media — so you arrive on Marathon Hosting with a complete, working copy of your site. No FTP. No cPanel. No manual database exports. No downtime on your current site. **How to migrate:** 1. Log in to your Marathon Hosting account and generate a migration token from your site’s overview page 2. Install and activate this plugin on your current WordPress site 3. Go to **Marathon Migration** in your WordPress admin and paste your token 4. Click **Start Migration** — most sites complete in 2–10 minutes That’s it. Your current site stays online the entire time. **What gets transferred:** * Your complete database * All WordPress core files (your exact version — no forced upgrades) * All themes, plugins, uploads, and media * Must-use plugins **What does not transfer:** * Server-specific configuration files — your new Marathon Hosting environment provides its own * Cache files and cache plugin output — these are rebuilt fresh on your new server * Log files and backup archives created by other plugins * Host-specific platform code from your previous host — these belong to your old host, not your site * The migration plugin itself — automatically removed after a successful transfer **What is not supported:** WordPress multisite installs are not currently supported. If the plugin detects a multisite network it will refuse to start the migration with a clear error before any data is transferred. Contact Marathon Hosting support if you need to migrate a multisite network. ### External services This plugin connects to the Marathon Hosting Gateway to coordinate your site migration. This service is required — without it the plugin cannot validate your migration token or connect your current site to your new Marathon Hosting environment. The Gateway is contacted only after you paste a token and click Start Migration. No data is sent before you explicitly begin. This service is operated by Marathon Hosting: * Terms of Service: https://marathonhosting.com/tos.html * Privacy Policy: https://marathonhosting.com/pp.html ## Installatie 1. Log in to your Marathon Hosting account and generate a migration token from the site’s overview page 2. In your current WordPress admin, go to **Plugins Add New Upload Plugin** and upload `marathon-migration.zip` 3. Activate the plugin 4. Go to **Marathon Migration** in the left-hand admin menu 5. Paste your migration token and click **Start Migration** 6. Wait for the migration to complete — typically 2–10 minutes depending on site size 7. Once complete, deactivate and delete this plugin from your original site ## FAQ ### Do I need FTP or cPanel access? No. Everything happens through the WordPress admin. ### Will my WordPress version be upgraded? No. Your exact WordPress version is transferred as-is. You can upgrade on your own schedule after going live on Marathon Hosting. ### Will my site go down during the migration? No. Your current site stays online throughout the entire process. The plugin only reads your data — it never modifies or deletes anything on your source site. ### What if my site is large? Large sites are fully supported. Data is pulled in batches rather than one giant archive, so very large sites transfer reliably. If a batch fails it retries automatically, and an interrupted migration can be resumed from where it stopped rather than starting over from scratch. ### Does it support WordPress multisite? Not yet. If the plugin detects a multisite install it will refuse to start with a clear error message. Please contact Marathon Hosting support if you need to migrate a multisite network. ### Is my data secure during the transfer? Yes. Transfers use a one-time token tied specifically to your Marathon Hosting account. Your database contents and credentials are never sent to Marathon Hosting’s coordination servers — the receiving server (your hosting account) connects directly to your site to pull your data. All credentials are wiped as soon as the migration completes or is cancelled. ### Can I cancel a migration in progress? Yes. Click **Cancel Migration** on the migration page. Your source site’s credentials are immediately removed and the receiving server stops pulling data. ### Do I need to keep the browser tab open? No. All transfers happen directly between your current server and the Marathon Hosting server. You can close the tab once the migration is underway and return later to check the status. ### What WordPress and PHP versions are supported? WordPress 6.2 or later and PHP 7.4 or later. ## Beoordelingen Er zijn geen beoordelingen voor deze plugin. ## Bijdragers & ontwikkelaars “Marathon Migration” is open source software.
