Anyone else frustrated with backing up single subsites in WordPress Multisite?

Hey guys,

Been dealing with a couple of big Multisite networks this week and I'm curious how you're all handling this.

Full network backups are easy enough. But whenever a client wants to back up or isolate just one specific subsite—or worse, move a subsite out to its own standalone WP install—it turns into a headache. Between serialized data, custom table prefixes, and sorting out the media uploads folder, it always takes way more time than it should.

How are you guys actually dealing with this day-to-day? Custom WP-CLI bash scripts? paid plugins? Or are we all still doing manual DB dumps and search-and-replace praying nothing breaks?

Would love to know if there's a cleaner way people are doing this lately.

[Beta] WordPress backup/migrate (single-site + Multisite) — need 200 Pro testers for 1 year (feedback-first)

Looking for WordPress people (agencies, Multisite admins, freelancers on shared hosting) to stress-test the Pro side of a backup/migrate plugin I already shipped Free on wp.org.

Product stage: Free is live. Pro (schedules, cloud destinations, empty-server installer, staging push, WP-CLI) is live too — I want real-world feedback before I double down on the wrong automation features.

Who it’s for:

  • You run normal single-site WordPress and/or full Multisite
  • You’ve been burned by timeouts, bad search-replace, or “network backup is Pro-only” tools
  • You’re willing to try Pro for a bit and tell me what broke / what’s missing

What I need from testers (this is the point of the post):

  1. Does scheduled + cloud backup actually finish on your host?
  2. What’s confusing in first-run / license / download?
  3. Which Pro feature would you cut vs which Free gap still hurts?

In return: up to 200 people can claim a 1-year Pro license (€0, email only, no card; expires automatically). Cap closes the page.

Disclosure: I’m the developer.

If you’ve migrated a Multisite network recently: what failed first — users table, uploads paths, or timeouts?

I built a free WordPress Multisite backup plugin as a side project — looking for feedback

I got tired of backup plugins treating Multisite as a paid add-on, so I built Multisite Migrate.

Idea was simple: on a normal site, Free should do full backup / restore / migrate. On Multisite, Free should also do full network backup + restore from Network Admin — no account, no license key.

What Free does today:

  • Single-site: full files + database backup, restore, local export/import
  • Multisite: full network backups from Network Admin (same Free plugin)
  • Subsite admins can back up / restore their own site
  • Chunked jobs that resume on shared hosting
  • Serialized-safe search-replace on import/migrate
  • Optional AES-256 encryption

What surprised me most: “backup plugin” isn’t one feature. It’s timeouts on shared hosting, Multisite table maps, package size, restore UX, encryption, docs, and a lot of edge cases that only show up on real networks.

I did a lot of testing myself and I found out that such a project is much more complex than I thought. Improving every day. I think that's the mindset you need.

Pro is a separate plugin for schedules, cloud destinations, empty-server installer, staging push, and WP-CLI. You don’t need Pro just to back up a single site or a whole network.

Disclosure: I’m the developer.

If you run single-site or Multisite: what’s broken or missing in your backup/migrate workflow — especially shared hosting and larger sites?

[FREEMIUM] Full Multisite network backups in Free (no Pro required) — looking for feedback

Multisite Migrate is a WordPress backup & migration plugin for normal single-site installs and full Multisite networks.

Most backup plugins treat Multisite as a paid add-on. I wanted the opposite: on a regular site you get full backup/restore/migrate in Free; on Multisite you also get full network backup + restore from Network Admin — no account, no license key.

What Free does today:
• Single-site: full files + database backup, one-click restore, local export/import
• Multisite: full network backups from Network Admin (same Free plugin)
• Subsite admins can back up/restore their own site
• Chunked jobs that resume on shared hosting
• Search-replace (serialized-safe) on import/migrate
• Optional AES-256 encryption

Pro (separate plugin) is only for schedules, cloud destinations, empty-server installer, staging push, WP-CLI — hence [FREEMIUM]. You do not need Pro just to back up a single site or a whole network.

Disclosure: I'm the developer.

• WordPress.org plugin page
• Docs
• Short demo (YouTube)

Honest ask: if you run single-site or Multisite, what's broken or missing for your workflow? Especially shared hosting + large sites/networks.

I kept saying "I don't care, you pick" — so I built a decision wheel app

I got tired of the back-and-forth every time friends couldn't decide on dinner, movie night, or who goes first — so I built SpinPick AI.

What the app does

  • Spin in seconds — "What to eat?", who starts, chores, weekend plans
  • 70+ templates — Truth or Dare (with full prompts, not just "Truth"/"Dare" labels), Would You Rather, Never Have I Ever, Who Pays?, DJ Pick, and more
  • Build your own — blank wheel, template, or describe what you need and on-device AI generates the slices (supported iPhones / select Android devices)
  • Tournament mode — spin multiple times and rank your top 3
  • Glass UI, light/dark mode, spin history, share wheels with friends
  • 30+ languages

What I learned building it (the stuff nobody tells you in "build an app in a weekend" threads)

  1. Speed beats features. The whole point is ending "you decide" paralysis. If setup takes more than a few taps, people bounce. Templates had to be one tap, not "build from scratch every time."
  2. Ship early and iterate from real feedback

Genuinely curious: what would you actually spin for — dinner, chores, party games, something else? And any template you'd expect to exist that doesn't?
