Everyone can learn to run a bash script
Being a developer is not a requirement
The following one liner will run a bash script located: https://run.captaincore.io/migrate on whichever computer or server your working on.
curl https://run.captaincore.io/migrate | bash -s -- --url="$url" --update-urlsThe --url argument needs to be set to a valid WordPress backup.
curl https://run.captaincore.io/migrate | bash -s -- --url="
https://mwp-orion-public.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/backups/14265080/2024-Apr-25_backup_66438a9f031b86.57577476.zip" --update-urlsThe --update-urls flag determines whether or not to update the URLs in the WordPress database.
- Without
--update-urls, the URLs will not be updated - With
--update-urls, the URLs will be changed to match the new WordPress site
Ways to create a WordPress backup
