Export a SQL file from a site not hosted at WordPress VIP
To migrate the content of a WordPress site to an environment on the WordPress VIP Platform, a SQL database file must be exported from the non-WPVIP site. Not all of the methods described on this page are available on all hosting platforms. Refer to the documentation for the existing site’s hosting platform to identify which methods are available and access more information on how to use them.
Import database files with VIP-CLI
Full or partial SQL database files can be imported to a VIP Platform WordPress environment using VIP-CLI.
Update domain name values
If a database file for import contains domain name values that do not match the VIP Platform destination site’s domain name, a --search-replace operation must be done before or during import.
Copy a link to a prepared database backup
A shareable link to a Database Backup copy that is available for download can be retrieved from the VIP Dashboard.
Generate a new database backup
In addition to the automated database backups that are generated for WordPress environments, a new backup can be created on demand. Some limitations are in place to the frequency and total number of backup files that can be created within a window of time.

Enable HTTPS for a VIP Local Development Environment
By default, VIP Local Development Environment URLs resolve with HTTP rather than HTTPS, the secure browsing protocol. When developing locally, some users may have a need for URLs to resolve at HTTPS (e.g. applications with payment integrations). For HTTPS to work as expected, a trusted digital certificate issued by a certificate authority (CA certificate) for the local environment must be added to the user’s machine.
