Changelog

1.5.0

  • Internal version alignment (header and constant now both report 1.5.0)
  • No functional changes from 1.4.0

1.4.0

  • Security: Permission callbacks now require manage_network (super admin) on multisite, instead of manage_options which subsite admins may have
  • Security: File concat (/files/concat) output restricted to plugin temp directory only
  • Security: File search-replace (/files/search-replace) restricted to uploads directory only
  • Security: File upload (/files/upload) destination restricted to uploads directory only
  • Security: File search-replace now uses WP_Filesystem for reads and writes instead of direct PHP file functions
  • Change: Temp directory moved from wp-content/insta-migrate-tmp/ to wp-content/uploads/insta-migrate-tmp/ per wp.org guidelines

1.3.0

  • Removed all exec()/shell_exec() calls per wp.org plugin guidelines
  • Removed /wp-cli REST endpoint (required exec)
  • Archive creation and extraction now use PharData/ZipArchive exclusively
  • Binary detection (has_wp_cli) now uses hardcoded path checks only

1.2.0

  • New: /db/fix-prefix endpoint — fixes usermeta meta_key and options option_name values after a migration where the table prefix changed. Prevents users losing roles/capabilities when the sed prefix-rewrite missed single-quoted values.

1.1.0

  • New: /files/concat endpoint — concatenate chunked file uploads on the server (for large archives exceeding PHP upload limit)
  • New: /files/search-replace endpoint — search-replace strings within static files on disk (CSS/JS/JSON), used for Elementor CSS domain replacement after DB search-replace
  • Fix: Numeric columns (INT, BIGINT, DECIMAL, etc.) now exported as plain numbers, not hex-encoded. Prevents MySQL from misinterpreting hex literals as integers.

1.0.0

  • Initial release
  • Database export/import with hex encoding
  • File upload, download, archive, extract
  • Serialization-aware search-replace
  • Dual authentication (API key + Application Passwords)
  • WP-CLI detection in status endpoint
