How It Works — Migro

// The flow

Three steps. No database exports.

Migro talks to the WordPress REST API on both ends — so your staging environment stays disposable and your production environment stays untouched until you say go.

Step 01

// staging

Build & test safely

Draft posts, wire up ACF, tune Yoast, assign taxonomies. Break things freely — staging is the sandbox.

Isolated sandbox
Full WP feature set
Team-friendly workflow

Step 02

// migro

Select & deploy

Pick posts, CPTs, or whole taxonomies. Migro bundles content + metadata + media and streams it to the destination.

Selective migration
Metadata preservation
Media auto-attaches

Step 03

// production

Live, pixel-identical

Content goes live exactly as designed. SEO is intact, custom fields resolve, featured images are in place.

Instant publication
SEO-ready
Zero manual fixes

migro.payload.json · what travels between environments

// Every Migro batch bundles this shape:
{
  "post":      { "title": "Launching v2", "content": "<!-- wp:blocks -->", "slug": "launching-v2" },
  "meta":      { "_yoast_wpseo_title": "…", "_yoast_wpseo_metadesc": "…" },
  "acf":       { "hero_image": 4217, "sections": [ "…", "…" ] },
  "taxonomies": { "category": ["product", "launch"], "post_tag": ["v2"] },
  "media":     [ "hero.webp", "diagram.svg", "og-card.png" ],
  "relations": { "parent": 812, "featured_media": 4217 }
}

// Pro feature

One-click shortcuts, right in wp-admin.

Professional users get To Prod and From Prod buttons on the post list and edit screen. No forms, no modals, no context switch.

To Prod

Push the current post live in a single click.

From Prod

Pull a live post back for editing.

Native UI

Lives in the WP admin you already know.

Audit trail

Every sync is timestamped and reversible.

// What travels

The whole record. Not just the title.

Most migration tools move posts and leave the metadata orphaned. Migro carries every related record across with referential integrity intact.

Yoast SEO

Titles, meta descriptions, focus keywords, schema, OG overrides.

ACF fields

Repeaters, flexible content, relationships, galleries — all resolved.

Taxonomies

Categories, tags, custom taxonomies with full parent / child hierarchy.

Featured images

Uploaded, deduped, and assigned to the right post on the far end.

Relationships

Parent / child, cross-references, and connected post IDs remap correctly.

Custom post types

Products, portfolios, testimonials — any CPT moves like a native post.

Soon

WooCommerce

Variations, inventory, e-commerce settings (in beta Q2).

Media & attachments

Files, galleries, documents — streamed to the destination library.

From staging to prod in three moves.
