WordPress Migrator "Error parsing transfer token" error

Last update: Aug 29, 2025

If you see this message then it means that the token you provided in the SiteGround Migrator plugin for the transfer is invalid.

Make sure that you have copied the full token from your Site Tools and that it does not contain any spaces before or after it when you paste it.

Alternatively you can generate a new migration token from your Site Tools and use it instead.
