One of WP Engine's great features is the automated migration tool, which you can easily apply to migrate your website's content and database from another platform over to WP Engine in one click. For those unable or simply don't want to use the automatic migration plugin, you can go by the following steps to migrate your website manually. First, you need to log into the User Portal and click on the environment name you wish to migrate to, select site migration, and click on the manual migration option. First off, the export part of the process creates a copy of your website's content and saves it to your local machine, after which the content is used in the second import portion of the process. You will need to export the database and wp-content from your existing website, after which both data sets acquired are taken through the import process and loaded onto WP Engine's servers. Lastly, if you wish to upload the content yourself, you can utilize the SFTP and SSH gateways.
