  2. Comments can now be added during migrations & rollbacks. These will be saved to the site’s changelog

v0.9 Changelog

25 August 2021

What’s new in MigrateWP 0.9

In this release we added a changelog of migrations to and from each site. The contents of the changelog can be displayed using the new report command. This is especially useful in cases where you have several developers working on a single site. This release also moves the rollback functionality into a separate rollback command as user testing suggested this improved usability.

Improvements

  1. Creates Changelog file on remote server with a timestamped record of migrations 
  2. New Report command to display changelog
  3. New Rollback command rolls back changes to wp-config as well as site files & database

Bug fixes

  1. Moves reminder to turn local server on earlier stage of the control flow

v0.8 Single Command

22 August 2021

What’s new in MigrateWP 0.9


In this release we focused on simplifying the UI to make it possible to push or pull a site with a single command!  Instead of being prompted to decide whether a migration is a dry-run or a full-run you can now indicate the option you want by passing an flag into your command. 

Improvements

  1. Sites can be pushed and pulled with a single command
  2. Ability to pass options as flags  (-d ‘dry-run’, -f ‘full-run’) 
  3. Automatically overwrites the destination Table Prefix when migrating

Bug Fixes

  1. Autodiscover and set the MySQLD Sock
  2. Remove needs to manually set environment variables to mysql bin by Autodiscovering and setting temporary MySQL ENV Path
  3. Adds WP-CLI installation check

v0.7 Setup & Config

What’s new in MigrateWP 0.7

v0.6 External Databases

8 July 2021

What’s new in MigrateWP 0.6

In this release we modified MigrateWP to handle situations where a WordPress site hosts it’s database on a different server. MigrateWP previously assumed the database was on the same server.

This release also introduces a series of error checks.
