Title: NEWTIV Migrate Author: newtiv Published: October 15, 2026 Last modified: October 15, 2026 --- Search plugins ![](https://ps.w.org/newtiv-migrate/assets/icon.svg?rev=3747990) # NEWTIV Migrate By [newtiv](https://profiles.wordpress.org/newtiv/) [Download](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/newtiv-migrate.1.0.0.zip) * [Details](https://kea.wordpress.org/plugins/newtiv-migrate/#description) * [Reviews](https://kea.wordpress.org/plugins/newtiv-migrate/#reviews) * [Installation](https://kea.wordpress.org/plugins/newtiv-migrate/#installation) * [Development](https://kea.wordpress.org/plugins/newtiv-migrate/#developers) [Support](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/newtiv-migrate/) ## Description You are building a new web or mobile application and want to keep the people who already have an account on your WordPress site. NEWTIV Migrate exports, in one file: * **users**: username, email, name, registration date, roles, and optionally their** password hashes**, profile fields, WooCommerce addresses and any other user meta you name; * **content**: posts, pages, products and custom post types, with categories, tags, custom fields and author; * **comments** (without IP addresses) and the **media library** list with file addresses. Because the password hashes are included, your application can check a user’s usual password exactly like WordPress does (phpass for older accounts, bcrypt for WordPress 6.8 and later), then store it in its own format at the first sign-in. Nobody has to reset their password. **Security first** * The file is always encrypted with a passphrase you choose: key derived with Argon2id, content encrypted with XChaCha20-Poly1305 (libsodium secretstream). Without the passphrase the file cannot be read. * The file is streamed to your browser and never stored on the server. * Only administrators can export, and they must type their account password again. Five wrong passwords lock the export for 15 minutes. * The last 20 exports are listed: who, when, how many records, with or without password hashes. * Privacy: the export log stores, for each export, the date, the administrator’s username and IP address. It is deleted when the plugin is uninstalled. * Password hashes are optional: untick them for a content-only export. **Large sites**: users and content are read in batches of 200. From the command line: `wp newtiv-migrate export site.ntvm` (see `wp help newtiv-migrate export`). This plugin does not connect to any external service. ### File format 1. First line: `NTVMIG1`. 2. Second line: a JSON header with the key derivation parameters (`kdf.alg` = argon2id13,` kdf.opslimit`, `kdf.memlimit`, `kdf.salt` in base64) and the secretstream header(` header`, base64). 3. Then frames: a 4-byte big-endian length followed by the ciphertext of one secretstream message. The last frame has the FINAL tag; a file without it is incomplete. Key: `crypto_pwhash(32, passphrase, salt, opslimit, memlimit, ARGON2ID13)`. Decrypted, the frames form NDJSON, one record per line, each with a `type`: `meta`, `user`,` term`, `post`, `media`, `comment`, then `end` with the counts, to check that nothing is missing. Any libsodium binding can read it: PyNaCl (Python), libsodium-wrappers (Node.js), ext-sodium (PHP). User records carry `pass` and `pass_format` (`wp-bcrypt`, `phpass`, `bcrypt`, `md5`,` argon2`). Meta values are exported exactly as stored in WordPress (arrays stay PHP- serialized). ## Installation 1. Upload the plugin and activate it. 2. Go to **Tools NEWTIV Migrate**. 3. Choose what to export, choose a passphrase (or generate one), type your password, download. 4. Keep the passphrase somewhere safe, separately from the file. ## FAQ ### Can someone use the file to sign in to my site? No. A password hash cannot be used to sign in; it can only be used to check a password someone types. And the file itself cannot be read without the passphrase. ### I lost the passphrase. The file cannot be opened. Make a new export. ### My host says the sodium extension is missing. The plugin needs PHP’s sodium extension (included with PHP since 7.2, enabled by almost every host). Without it, the export button stays disabled. ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/ee359798586b7b0f89f518ab0005f209efff16f6e27303ee5c64147b0cc04056? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Happy](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/happy-136/)󠁿 [tah12](https://profiles.wordpress.org/tah12/) October 15, 2026 Always happy to see your releases.
