Creating a Site in Transferito Desktop

In order to start your migrations, you’re going to need at least one site. These are called sites but they are the migrations details that we need to process your WordPress Migration. This will be explained in more detail as you progress through the Transferito Desktop guides.

To Add a New Site:
