Use this page when a Reprint client has given you a Migration Token to paste into WordPress. If you have not started a copy yet, follow Clone your site; it includes these steps.
Authorizing the client lets it download the site’s database and files, including private content.
Install the plugin
- Sign in to the site as an administrator.
- Open Plugins Add New Plugin and search for Reprint.
- Install and activate the Reprint plugin from WordPress.org.
- Open Tools Reprint Server.
Activation alone does not authorize a client or start a transfer. If your host prevents plugin installation, ask the host or site administrator to install it.
Authorize the client
- Copy the Migration Token printed by the client.
- In Tools Reprint Server, find Authorize a client to copy this site.
- Paste the token into Migration Token and choose Authorize client.
- Run the same client command again to start the copy.
The WordPress confirmation means the token was saved. Check copy progress in your terminal.
If the screen asks for a connection token
Some hosts use a shared connection token instead of a Migration Token. Follow the form shown in the plugin settings.
Choose Generate new token, then Save connection token. This token acts as a password for downloads; keep it private.
Replace --private-key-path=... with --secret='TOKEN' on commands that contact the source. Replace TOKEN with the saved value and include it again when resuming. Your shell history may retain the token.
Remove access
In Tools Reprint Server, find the client’s Migration Token ID and choose Remove Migration Token. For connection-token access, clear or replace the connection token; this disconnects clients using the old value.
If the screen says your host manages credentials through public-keys.php or secret.php, ask the host to change them. This screen cannot edit those files. Previously downloaded copies stay on the destination computer.
Multisite networks
A network administrator must network-activate the plugin and manage access in the network’s Reprint Server settings. Client access can cover multiple sites in that network. The cloning guide covers single-site installations only.
