I exported the data from my online sites using the All-in-One WP Migration plugin and then imported the data into the newly created local sites.

I ended up creating 2 new local sites on the new Mac. I found exporting sites on the Local extremely slow to the point where my old Mac froze several times. For starters, I decided to set up two of my personal sites and add more as I start working on client websites. I wanted to have the minimal sites set up on the new mac. It has simplified my development workflow and I can’t recommend It enough. I use Local by Flywheel for my WordPress development. MAMP > Preferences > General > When starting MAMP

I uninstall MAMP PRO right away as I don’t plan to buy the Pro version and know the license will expire after 14 days.

Install MAMP (MAMP Pro gets installed by default). Your Site Manager connection settings are now saved into an XML file.Īll the FTP connection settings are now picked up from the XML and added to the Site Manager. Once you are happy with the sites, close the Site Manager. On my old Mac, open the Site Manager, do a quick clean up and delete all the sites that are not currently used(mostly old client site configurations). If you are like me and forgot your FTP client passwords, here is a quick way of setting up the FTP site configurations on the new mac. This will sync up my VS Code settings on multiple devices.
