<p>Save time setting up new sites by automatically downloading groups of plugins. Add new plugins by adding the slug from the plugin’s url in the WordPress plugin directory. For instance, the plugin “All In One SEO Pack” is listed here: <code>https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/all-in-one-seo-pack/</code>. Add “All In One SEO Pack” to an installation profile by adding <code>all-in-one-seo-pack</code> in the plugins field (one plugin per line).</p>
<p>WP Install Profiles (WPIP) allows users to define groups of plugins, called profiles. Once a profile has been entered, WPIP calls to the WordPress Plugin Directory, downloads the plugin files and unzips them to the site’s plugins folder. Additionally, WPIP saves the profile in a downloadable format, so you can upload it to your next site and download the same plugins with a single click.</p>
<p>Store your profiles online at http://plugins.ancillaryfactory.com and import them easily into all of your WordPress installs. <a href="http://plugins.ancillaryfactory.com" rel="nofollow ugc">Learn more and create an account</a></p>

<h3>Troubleshooting</h3>
<h4>Required PHP libraries</h4>
<ul>
<li>SimpleXML</li>
<li>ZipArchive</li>
</ul>
<p>These libraries are installed by default on most shared hosting accounts, but they may need to be installed manually if your site is hosted by certain providers, including Media Temple.</p>
<h4>File Permissions</h4>
<p>If you are unable to save or import profiles, you may need to set <code>wp-content/plugins/install-profiles/profiles</code> to 777.</p>

<h4>Summary</h4>
<p>WP-Portability is a plugin designed to quietly make your site more portable. It is to designed to facilitate the work that needs to be done to be move a wordpress install to another directory or server or domain name. It makes WordPress much less attached and dependant on its install directory and domain name.</p>
<p>Though anyone can make use of WP-Portability, it was designed with developers in mind. It greatly facilitates designing sites locally amongst a team of developers, moving the site to a staging server and finally pushing it live.</p>
<h4>Features</h4>
<p>WP-Portability provides the following optimizations:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Always local URLs</strong>: Perhaps the biggest issues with relocating a wordpress install is the fact that every url pointing to other content in the same site (links to other pages, uploaded media, etc.) in the content of posts will break. This can be a nightmare to fix for larger sites. WP-Portability solves this by storing all local urls as a hidden shortcode in the database, which it can then expand to the correct path for whatever domain/install directory you view the site from. You will not see anything differently when you edit your posts, but rest assured that things are being handled dynamically in the background.</li>
<li><strong>Dynamic file paths</strong>: This plugin will automatically determine the url of your WordPress install path. This will set the <code>WP_SITEURL</code> and <code>WP_HOME</code> constants. If these are already set in wp-config, this feature will not work. This feature will automatically disable itself on WordPress Multisite installations (network), as it will not work properly.</li>
<li><strong>Relative Rewrites</strong>: This plugin changes the way WordPress creates apache-level rewrites, to always use relative paths, rather than absolute paths. This will enable access to the same installation via different routes (e.g. <code>http://domain.com</code> and <code>http://127.0.0.1/path/to/install</code>). This feature will automatically disable itself on WordPress Multisite installations (network), as it will not work properly.</li>
</ul>
