Migrating from AffiliateWP

Migration Using WP CLI (Recommended)

We recommend to use WordPress CLI to migrate from AffiliateWP for better performance.

To start the migration just run the following wp cli command on your site:

wp fluent_affiliate migrate_from_affiliatewp

Please note, this CLI migration will remove all the existing data from FluentAffiliate before starting the migration.

This command will migrate all of your AffiliateWP data including affiliates, referrals, payouts, and visits to FluentAffiliate.
