One of the most frequently asked questions we’ve received since releasing PeepSo is whether we have an easy way to migrate BuddyPress to PeepSo.
Why, yes. Yes, we do!
PeepSo Migrate is a migrator plugin that will move your data from BuddyPress to PeepSo. It’s super-easy to use.
Just install the plugin, click the button, and watch the magic happen.
Note that the Migrator only moves the data within the same WordPress installation. So you can’t use it to migrate BuddyPress from http://sampledomain1.com to http://sampledomain2.com. But you weren’t planning to do that anyway, were you?
If you’ve wanted to give PeepSo a try but were afraid you’d lose your BuddyPress content, you’ve got nothing to worry about. We’ve got you covered.
Steps:
- Make sure that BuddyPress is installed and working.
- Install PeepSo and any supporting plugins you want.
- Install the Migrator.
- Open the Migrator.
- Click the ‘Start Migration’ button.
- Confirm that you want to migrate data.
- Stroke the cat while the data flies into PeepSo.
- Done!
Which Data Is Migrated?
- Users
- Uploaded user avatars
- User friends
- Notifications
- Messages
- Posts
- Comments
What Data Is Not Migrated?
Data for features that PeepSo does not currently support, such as groups, cannot be migrated. Once we add those features, we will add them to the migrator as well. For the Migrator to move data such as User Friends and Messages, the FriendSo and MsgSo plugins must be installed with PeepSo.
How Long Does The Migration Take?
That depends on how much content you have on BuddyPress. We tested it with a community of over 2,500 users and more than 15,000 activities. It took us about four minutes. A larger community with about 1000 users and 60,000 activities can be migrated in about 11 minutes. That should be just enough time to make your cat purr. If you don’t have a cat, it’s enough time to make a cup of coffee.
What If I Already Have Some Content In Peepso?
The Migrator will delete all your existing PeepSo content, so don’t use it if you have anything you’ll miss.
The BuddyPress Migrator is totally free and available from the backend of WordPress. Go to Plugins > Add new and search for ‘PeepSo’.
Give it a try today and create an amazing community with PeepSo!
