Moving a WordPress site can introduce various issues, from broken links and mixed content to SEO visibility problems and performance regressions. This plugin provides a streamlined and systematic approach to verify your site’s health and configuration in its new environment. It offers a detailed checklist covering critical areas such as: * **Technical Configuration:** WordPress version, site URLs, WP_DEBUG status, memory limit, permalinks. * **Security Checks:** Admin users, plugin/theme updates, unused items, 2FA, security plugins.*** Performance:** Caching, lazy loading, minification, image optimization, TTFB, page size. * **SEO & Marketing:** Meta tags, noindex, search engine visibility, robots. txt, sitemap.xml, canonical URLs, analytics. * **HTTPS / SSL:** SSL certificate validation, mixed content, HTTP to HTTPS redirects, HSTS. * **Email Configuration:** SMTP setup, email sending tests. * **E-Commerce (WooCommerce):** Checkout, payment gateways, transactional emails (if WooCommerce is active). * **Forms & Interactions:** Contact forms, file uploads, reCAPTCHA. * **Files & Folders:** Favicon presence, exposed backup/sensitive files. * **Cleanup:** Default content, development plugins, media library. * **Accessibility:** ALT tags (manual review). * **Redirection & Legacy Support:** 301 redirects, broken links, .htaccess rules. * **Multilingual/ Multisite:** Language switchers, translations, hreflang tags (if applicable). The plugin performs automated scans for many items and provides clear „pass,“ „fail,“„ warning,“ or „info“ statuses, along with actionable recommendations for items requiring manual verification or correction. Ensure your site is fully operational, secure, and optimized post-migration with ease. ## Screenshots * [[ * Screenshot of the main Post Migration Checklist dashboard with the „Scan Website“ button. * [[ * Screenshot illustrating successful scan results for a category. * [[ * Screenshot showing warnings and failures, with actionable advice for some checks. * [[ * Screenshot of the plugin’s admin menu item. ## Installation 1. **Download** the plugin ZIP file from WordPress.org. 2. **Upload** the plugin through the ‘Plugins > Add New’ screen in your WordPress dashboard. 3. **Click ‘Install Now’** and then ‘Activate Plugin’. 4.

It checks for a wide array of post-migration issues including site URL inconsistencies, permalink structure, WP_DEBUG status, caching, SSL configuration, robots.txt, sitemap. xml, security vulnerabilities (like admin users and old dev plugins), and more. ### Is this plugin compatible with all themes? Yes, this plugin works independently of your theme and should be compatible with most standard WordPress setups. It focuses on core WordPress configuration, server responses, and plugin/theme statuses. ### Does this plugin fix issues automatically? No, this plugin primarily identifies potential issues and provides actionable recommendations. It acts as a diagnostic tool, guiding you on what needs to be fixed. It does not automatically change your site’s files or database. ### Can I use this plugin on a live site? Yes, it’s designed to be run on the target production site itself after migration. However, as with any diagnostic tool that performs network requests, it’s always recommended to exercise caution and have backups. ### Why does it say „Manual verification recommended“ for some checks? Some aspects, like content quality, specific form functionality, or the visual appearance of fonts, cannot be reliably checked automatically. For these, the plugin provides a reminder for you to manually inspect them. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Post Migration Checklist” is open source software.
