Move DigitalOcean WP site to another DigitalOcean WP site

Posted on April 21, 2025

I am attempting to upgrade our severly outdated WP site to a new droplet. I am using the All-In-One Migration tool and have backed up from old WP and trying to import to new WP but the database restore gets to 94% and then locks up on me and goes no further.

I do get the message that I’m migrating from PHP 7 to PHP 8 error message but still continue. Is this my issue? I have emptied database, purged plug-ins, etc before trying again, all with same results. What am I missing?

I need to admit that I’m new to WP, so there may something I’m greatly missing. Thanks for your help.
