<p>Hostney Migration connects your WordPress site to the Hostney hosting platform so the Hostney worker can pull your database and files automatically. No SSH access, FTP credentials, or manual exports required. Your source site stays fully operational throughout the process.</p>
<p><strong>How it works:</strong></p>
<ol>
<li>Generate a migration token in your <a href="https://www.hostney.com" rel="nofollow ugc">Hostney control panel</a></li>
<li>Install this plugin on your source WordPress site</li>
<li>Go to Tools > Hostney Migration and paste the token</li>
<li>Click “Start migration” in the Hostney control panel</li>
<li>The worker pulls your database and files automatically</li>
</ol>
<p><strong>What gets migrated:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>All database tables (exported row-by-row with primary key pagination)</li>
<li>All WordPress files (transferred in chunks with checksum verification)</li>
<li>File permissions and directory structure</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>What gets excluded automatically:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Cache directories</li>
<li>Log files</li>
<li>Backup plugin directories (UpdraftPlus, All-in-One WP Migration, etc.)</li>
<li>Node modules and .git directories</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Security:</strong></p>
<p>All requests from the Hostney worker are authenticated using HMAC-SHA256 signatures with timestamp validation and replay protection. Tokens are cleared automatically when the plugin is deactivated.</p>
<h3>Privacy Policy</h3>
<p>This plugin sends the following data to Hostney servers (api.hostney.com) when you click Connect:</p>
<ul>
<li>Your site URL and REST API URL</li>
<li>WordPress version</li>
<li>PHP version</li>
<li>Number of database tables and total database size</li>
<li>Number of files and total file size</li>
<li>Active theme name and active plugin count</li>
</ul>
<p>This data is used solely to register and plan the migration. No file contents, database rows, passwords, or personal data are transmitted during the connection step.</p>
<p>During an active migration (initiated from the Hostney control panel), the Hostney worker connects to your site’s REST API endpoints to read database tables and files. All requests are authenticated with HMAC-SHA256 signatures. Data is transferred over HTTPS.</p>

<h4>Official WooCommerce 9.6 Brand Migration Tool</h4>
<p><strong>With WooCommerce 9.6 launching on January 20th, 2025, all stores will have the Brands feature enabled by default.</strong> This creates a migration challenge for stores that already use brand attributes – your existing brand data won’t automatically transfer to the new system.</p>
<p>Transfer Brands for WooCommerce provides the missing link that WooCommerce doesn’t offer – a safe, reliable way to migrate all your existing brand attributes (both taxonomy-based and custom) to the new WooCommerce 9.6 brand taxonomy without losing any data.</p>
<p>Unlike manual migration that risks data loss, our plugin:<br />
* Preserves all brand relationships and hierarchies<br />
* Transfers brand images automatically<br />
* Provides complete backup and rollback functionality<br />
* Shows real-time progress with detailed statistics<br />
* Handles stores of any size with batch processing</p>
<p>Transfer Brands Enhanced for WooCommerce is a powerful tool that simplifies the process of migrating your product brand attributes to a dedicated product_brand taxonomy. This is particularly useful for store owners who want to improve their brand management and enhance storefront navigation.</p>

<li>Enhanced filtering options in your store</li>
<li>Simplified brand management</li>

<h3>Additional Information</h3>
<h4>How to test before transferring</h4>
<p>Before running a full transfer, we recommend:</p>
<ol>

<li>Ensuring you have a recent database backup</li>
<li>Testing on a staging site if possible</li>
<li>Verifying that the backup feature is enabled in settings</li>
</ol>
<h4>Transfer Process</h4>
<p>The transfer process operates in three phases:</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Backup</strong>: Creates a backup of existing brand data</li>
<li><strong>Terms Transfer</strong>: Creates or maps taxonomy terms</li>
<li><strong>Product Assignment</strong>: Associates products with the new taxonomy terms</li>
</ol>
<h4>After Transfer</h4>
<p>After completing a transfer, you can:</p>
<ul>
<li>Keep both the old attribute and new taxonomy (default)</li>
<li>Remove the old brand attribute data (optional)</li>
