I’m spending hours upon hours recreating content created using ACF again on remote servers. I’ve tried various search / replace tools. Using the export / import JSON feature and what not. But no matter WHAT I try I always end up recreating most content from scratch on the remote server … now, there HAS to be a better way of migrating to a remote server, right?
Anyone know how?
There are tools available.
One example: https://deliciousbrains.com/wp-migrate-db-pro/database-migrations/
There are others if you do a search, and I cannot vouch for the above plugin or any others.
Any tool will require that the databases of the sites exactly match to begin with.
