InstaWP

InstaMigrate provides authenticated REST API endpoints that enable full WordPress site migrations between servers. It handles database export/import with binary-safe hex encoding, file archiving and transfer, and serialization-aware search-replace for domain changes.
Features:
<ul>
<li>Database export with binary-safe hex encoding (preserves serialized PHP data)</li>
<li>Database import with streaming line-by-line parsing (handles large dumps)</li>
<li>File upload, download, archiving (tar.gz/zip), and extraction</li>
<li>Serialization-aware search-replace for domain migrations</li>
<li>Dual authentication: API key header or WordPress Application Passwords</li>
<li>WP-CLI detection (informational, reported in status endpoint)</li>
<li>Admin UI showing API key and endpoint documentation</li>
</ul>
Important: This plugin grants full database and filesystem access via its REST API. Deactivate and delete it immediately after your migration is complete.

<h4>About</h4>
The WordPress ecosystem has never offered a simple solution for managing content between environments. Since its inception, one problem persists: granular deployment of content and configurations.
You develop on a test site and want to send only certain content to your production site. With existing tools, two scenarios often occur: creating duplicates… or having to overwrite the entire database. The constraints imposed by the diversity of plugin ecosystem operations have already caused several attempts to fail.
We are convinced that a solution is possible.
That’s why we designed Deploy & Sync Content: a new approach, designed to finally offer selective synchronization between your environments.
<h4>Main Features</h4>
The free version offers unidirectional synchronization (Production → Staging/Local), ideal for simply transferring your content and media between your sites.
For bidirectional synchronization and advanced features, check out the Pro version(https://wp-deployer.io/en/features).
Intelligent database merging: The plugin detects existing content to update or create it as needed. You thus maintain the consistency of your environments and avoid any loss of information.
Unidirectional synchronization (free version): Production → Staging/Local: quickly transfer your content and media between your sites.
Data conflict management: The tool identifies and allows you to resolve differences before import, ensuring updates without loss.
Automatic ID mapping: Avoid duplicates and inconsistencies related to page builders and ID references.
Preservation of content relationships: Posts, taxonomies, media and metadata remain correctly linked after each synchronization.
