: Users connect their current site and the new target site. This is often done by installing a CMS2CMS Connector plugin or uploading a small bridge file via FTP.
While CMS2CMS reduces manual labor by ~95% compared to manual CSV migration, it is not a "set and forget" solution. The primary failure point is content logic . For example, a Joomla module (e.g., "Latest News") has no direct equivalent in WordPress widgets. CMS2CMS migrates the data , but not the display logic . Therefore, it is best characterized as a data transporter , not a full application migrator.
: It facilitates migrations between dozens of platforms, including WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, Wix, Shopify, and Magento.
| Advantages | Limitations | | :--- | :--- | | Site remains live during migration. | Cost: Not free for large sites (pay per page/post/image). | | No Technical Skill: No SQL, FTP, or regex required. | Limited Custom Fields: Some ACF (Advanced Custom Fields) or Pods require manual remapping. | | SEO Preservation: Redirects, meta tags, and sitemaps are migrated. | Post-Migration Cleanup: Shortcodes from the source CMS often break in the target. | | Speed: Average 15,000 pages/hour. | Security Trust: Users must grant connector plugin access. |
