All-in-One WP Migration Restore From Server Without PRO – Bypass

Follow these steps to restore a .wpress backup without the PRO plugin. Do not edit plugin files. Run one command in your browser console on the Backups page.

1. Create a backup on your test server using All-in-One WP Migration.
2. Upload the backup file to your live server. Place it in the ai1wm-backup folder via FTP or file manager.
3. Open your website and go to All-in-One WP Migration Backups page.
4. Open the browser developer console. In Chrome press F12 or Ctrl Shift I.
5. Copy and paste the exact code block below into the console. Replace FILENAME with your backup file name.
6. Press Enter to run the command. The importer will start and restore the backup.

Keep the code exactly as shown. The code uses the plugin internal API and does not require file edits.

Code to run in the console

var filename = 'FILENAME.wpress'; 
var importer = new Ai1wm.Import(); 
var storage = Ai1wm.Util.random(12); 
var options = Ai1wm.Util.form('#ai1wm-backups-form').concat({name: 'storage', value: storage}).concat({name: 'archive', value: filename}); 
importer.setParams(options); 
importer.start();

Notes

• Do not rename plugin files.
• If prompted with a warning like below, select proceed

• Ensure the backup file ends with .wpress.
• Test on a staging site first.
