All-in-One WP Migration Restore From Server (without pro version)

If you don't want to pay for the PRO version of this plugin, and you want to use the "Restore from Server" functionally that was present in the version 6.77, open your browser’s dev tools and run the code below in the console:

Last confirmed working: May 2025 on version 7.94

var filename = 'FILENAME.wpress';
var importer = new Ai1wm.Import();
var storage = Ai1wm.Util.random(12);
var options = Ai1wm.Util.form('#ai1wm-backups-form')
.concat({name: 'storage', value: storage})
.concat({name: 'archive', value: filename});
importer.setParams(options);
importer.start();

Note: Replace FILENAME.wpress with the string from the data-archive attribute of the restore button next to the file.

To make this change survive a page reload, you must edit the plugin files (warning: plugin updates will remove your edits):

1. Open the js file: wp-content/plugins/all-in-one-wp-migration/lib/view/assets/javascript/backups.min.js
2. On line 1208, replace the code below:

$('.ai1wm-backup-restore').click(function (e) {
  e.preventDefault();

  if (!!Ai1wm.MultisiteExtensionRestore) {
    var restore = new Ai1wm.MultisiteExtensionRestore($(this).data('archive'));
  } else if (!!Ai1wm.UnlimitedExtensionRestore) {
    var restore = new Ai1wm.UnlimitedExtensionRestore($(this).data('archive'));
  } else if (!!Ai1wm.FreeExtensionRestore) {
    var restore = new Ai1wm.FreeExtensionRestore($(this).data('archive'));
  } else {
    var restore = new Ai1wm.Restore($(this).data('archive'));
  }
});

with the following code:

$('#ai1wm-backups-list').on('click', '.ai1wm-backup-restore', function (e) {
  e.preventDefault();
  var modelimport = new Import();

  var storage = Ai1wm.Util.random(12);
  var options = Ai1wm.Util.form('#ai1wm-backups-form')
    .concat({ name: 'storage', value: storage })
    .concat({ name: 'archive', value: $(this).data('archive') });

  // Set global params
  modelimport.setParams(options);

  // Start import
  modelimport.start();
});

3. Go to your All-in-One WP Migration > Backups page and you should be able to use the Restore button now.

Thanks!

Which version are you using?
My system is stuck at "preparing to import". With latest version 7.103 and old with version 6.77 is the same error.

@muhammetcolak Not sure. Sorry.

This worked in April 2026 using Version 7.104 of AIO WP Migration. Flawlessly restored a 8 GB wpress file. Thank you!

Another option is to follow these instructions that use an older version of the plugin: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RmPyWZ9-YnA v6.7
