I checked Migration Plugin upload directory where all ZIP packages are: for DB, for Pluggins and for UPLOADS. All of them were closed 1 hour ago but plugin progress is still stuck at the last task and it wont finish. How long should I wait?? It says : Packaging Uploads… ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/786c7089f33aadcb93ed5cde643b3b7b7f1bab509acc2ab5dc9d476321041056? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Just don’t use it](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/just-dont-use-it/)󠁿 [Hamed Takmil](https://profiles.wordpress.org/silvercover/) 14 marca 2024 It's faulty and does not work and left you with troubles! ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/a5dc649b7eea9b44f4a548c302bfeab04aab6d36c7630550a5de11bab89368ce? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[As others have said, it doesn’t work](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/as-others-have-said-it-doesnt-work/)󠁿 [LunaGraphica](https://profiles.wordpress.org/lunagraphica/) 14 stycznia 2024 All I get from this plugin in a message saying "Something went wrong.

I tried it on three sites and I can't get it to work on any of them. So much for an easy way to move a site to Bluehost. I love their hosting. This plug in – not so much. Don't waste your time and effort. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/f91b9b3c1190f9539137b63bd8aa987ef5bfabc1e7ba7c5a8d1dc17294fd169d? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Terrible](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/terrible-284/)󠁿 [zecarlos2000](https://profiles.wordpress.org/zecarlos2000/) 16 grudnia 2023 This is simply terrible. Tried this plugin with a simple website, with a couple of plain html pages and it simply doesn't work. The biggest surprise to me is how come Bluehost is listed on the recommended hosting services for wordpress. This comment is not only about the plugin. Many small details while dealing with the admin settings on Bluehost page are also non-intuitive or frustrating by the lack of options. This plugin is just a small example of the experience the user will have with Bluehost… Stay away from Bluehost!
