WordPress migration rehearsal

Discuss a migration

Owned rehearsal / fictional site data

A WordPress move should be boring on cutover day.

Inventory, isolate, clean, and restore on mirrored staging. Traffic moves only after approval.

  • No live editing
  • Restore proof before cutover
  • Buyer-owned data stays buyer-controlled
staging-mirror-07 ready
source legacy.example PHP 7.4 / mixed builders
staging mirror-07 PHP 8.2 / isolated
target new-host traffic still blocked

01 inventory locked 178 routes

02 backup restored hash match

03 plugin matrix 21 pass / 1 replace

04 form probes 11 / 11

05 cutover blocked by design

Interactive evidence pack

Inspect the gate, not a sales claim.

The dataset below is fictional and exists to make the validation contract inspectable before access to a buyer's site.

01 / inventory

Freeze the real surface before changing it.

Count routes, posts, forms, plugins, builders, cron jobs, redirects, users, storage, database tables, and external dependencies.

178routes
22plugins
11forms
check method result

Release control

Traffic stays put until every owner signs off.

Toggle the evidence a buyer should be able to review. The release control changes only when every gate is present.

release state Cutover blocked

Written-first engagement

The scope is frozen before least-privilege access is provisioned.

  1. 01Inventory and authority

    Confirm ownership, hosts, data classes, access boundary, backup owner, and acceptance owner.

  2. 02Staging milestone

    Mirror, isolate, reconcile the scan, clean, test PHP/plugins/forms, and prove restore.

  3. 03Buyer acceptance

    Review the evidence matrix before any DNS, live files, mail routing, or production traffic changes.

Do not email credentials, archives, database dumps, or customer and form data. Access is provisioned only after signed scope and cleared payment.
