What is the proper way to transfer/migrate with wpmigrate plugin from site to site? When transferring databases the plugin does not load the content properly and gives a url link/file error
Firstly, I would like to sincerely apologize for the delayed response as we have been experiencing an unusually high number of tickets. I am sorry that it has taken longer than usual to respond to your concern and your patience is highly appreciated.

When you are moving on live site from local or stage site (or vice-versa) we can suggest using Plugin Duplicator. We use it and it's working fine because it will transfer all the files and also the tables to the database.
Other than cloning the site, another option would be to copy all database tables (wp_wpdatatable_#) along with tables wp_wpdatatables, wp_wpdatacharts, wp_wpdatatables_rows and wp_wpdatatables_columns. Then, in wp_options table, you would also need to export the following option_names:
wdtPreventDeletingTables
wdtUseSeparateCon
wdtSeparateCon
wdtTimepickerRange
wdtTimeFormat
wdtTabletWidth
wdtTablesPerPage
wdtSumFunctionsLabel
wdtRenderFilter
wdtRenderCharts
wdtIncludeBootstrap
wdtIncludeBootstrapBackEnd
wdtPreventDeletingTables
wdtParseShortcodes
wdtNumbersAlign
wdtBorderRemoval
wdtBorderRemovalHeader
wdtNumberFormat
wdtMobileWidth
wdtMinifiedJs
wdtMinFunctionsLabel
wdtMaxFunctionsLabel
wdtLeftOffset
wdtTopOffset
wdtInterfaceLanguage
wdtGeneratedTablesCount
wdtFontColorSettings
wdtDecimalPlaces
wdtCSVDelimiter
wdtDateFormat
wdtCustomJs
wdtCustomCss
wdtBaseSkin
wdtAvgFunctionsLabel
wdtInstallDate
wdtRatingDiv
wdtMDNewsDiv
wdtTempFutureDate
It is rather cumbersome to do all this, but unfortunately at the moment, it's the only way.
Important to note, for tables linked to an existing data source, you would need to change the file path, because at the moment the file path depends on the domain, so if you change the domain, the URL to the file will also have to be changed.
Our developers will be working on adding an easier solution to export everything, but we can't say an ETA on this.
- There are also certain export functionalities, to export individual tables using Table Tools.
- If you also need to switch domains;
In our store you can go to "My Licenses" and click on the "Manage Domains" button:
From there, you will be able to deactivate the old domain (while it's still active), and then simply activate the new domain in wpDataTables settings/Activation, once you move the site.
We are actually using one of your recommended plugins called wp migrate by wpEngine. does wpdatatables create files under the plugins/wpdatatables/ directory? in our transfer we included all the database and tables see attached.
After you migrate everything, there is an additional step that needs to be made for the tables linked to existing data source.
As i mentioned in the previous response :

Let me know if that makes sense. Thanks.

Hi, tony.
After you migrate everything, there is an additional step that needs to be made for the tables linked to existing data source.
As i mentioned in the previous response :

We are covering that in more details on your other ticket https://tmsplugins.ticksy.com/ticket/3354058/.
This is the same reason why you are getting that error for the table that this URL path of the source file does not exist.
If it is OK with you, let's close this ticket, and we will proceed about this on the other ticket,
because basically this is all happening because of the same issue.
Thank you.
