Which AIT themes does AIT Directory Migrations support?

The plugin supports migrations between AIT-branded directory themes including Directory+, BusinessFinder+, and other AIT directory theme products. Check the compatibility list for your specific theme versions.

Will my listing images be preserved during migration?

Yes, the migration tool transfers featured images, gallery attachments, and media associations along with listing content. Image files remain in the WordPress media library.

Can I migrate from a non-AIT directory theme?

No, AIT Directory Migrations is designed specifically for transfers between AIT directory themes. For migrations from other directory systems, you would need a different import tool or manual data transfer.

How long does a typical migration take?

Migration time depends on the number of listings and custom fields. A directory with 200-500 listings typically completes in 5-15 minutes. Larger directories may take longer depending on server resources.

What happens if the migration fails partway through?

The plugin creates a pre-migration snapshot before execution. If the process fails or produces unexpected results, you can use the rollback feature to restore your data to its pre-migration state.

What is AIT Directory Migrations?

AIT Directory Migrations is a WordPress data migration plugin specifically built for transferring directory listing content, custom fields, taxonomies, location data, and associated metadata between different AIT directory theme versions while preserving data integrity and field relationships throughout the transition process.

Key Features

Automated Field Mapping

Automatically maps custom fields between source and target AIT directory themes during migration.

Taxonomy Preservation

Transfers categories, locations, tags, and custom taxonomies with their hierarchical relationships intact.

Pre-Migration Snapshots

Creates a data backup before migration execution, enabling rollback if results are unsatisfactory.

Step-by-Step Wizard

Migration Summary Reports

Generates post-migration reports listing transferred items and flagging entries needing manual attention.

Metadata Transfer

Migrates ratings, coordinates, contact details, operating hours, and other structured listing metadata.

Who is this for?

WordPress site owners and developers using AIT directory themes who need to switch between theme versions or upgrade their directory platform without losing existing listing data and configurations.

Pros

Product Description

AIT Directory Migrations is a specialized WordPress plugin designed to facilitate data transfers between AIT-branded directory themes. When upgrading or switching between different AIT directory theme versions, this tool ensures that listing content, custom field values, taxonomies, and associated metadata carry over intact.

Data Preservation During Theme Switches

Directory websites accumulate structured data including business listings, location information, contact details, operating hours, and custom taxonomy assignments. Switching themes without a migration tool risks losing this structured data or breaking field mappings. AIT Directory Migrations maps fields between source and target themes automatically.

Supported Data Types

Listing content — titles, descriptions, featured images, and gallery attachments
Custom fields — phone numbers, addresses, websites, email contacts, and theme-specific fields
Taxonomies — categories, locations, tags, and custom directory taxonomies
Metadata — ratings, review counts, opening hours, and map coordinates

Migration Workflow

The plugin provides a step-by-step migration wizard within the WordPress admin. You select the source theme configuration, choose the target theme, review the field mapping, and execute the migration. A progress indicator shows the transfer status, and a summary report lists any items requiring manual review.

Rollback Capability

Before executing a migration, the plugin creates a snapshot of the current data state. If the migration produces unexpected results, you can revert to the pre-migration snapshot without manual database restoration.
