I tried the following plugins:
– “All-in-one WP Migration” – exports the file from local, when I upload it to destination host/site, I reached 100% on the upload and then nothing happens.
– “WPStaging” – exports the file form local, doesn’t accept the upload, gives me error.
Neither Duplicator nor WPVivid are available on elementor hosting.
What should I do?

I have no experience with Elementor hosting, but if you have access to (S)FTP and PHPMyAdmin, you could simply move the web files to the server and import the sql dump of you database.
Then you’d just have to update your site URL in the wp-config.php file and run a search/replace plugin to replace your old (local) domain with your new one.

If you’re encountering issues with migration plugins, consider manual migration:
1. **Export Local Site**: Export your Local by Flywheel site’s database using phpMyAdmin or a similar tool. Also, copy all files from your site’s directory.
2. **Set Up Live WordPress Site**: Install WordPress on your live hosting using Elementor. Ensure it’s properly configured with necessary plugins.
3. **Import Database**: Create a new database on your live hosting and import the database you exported earlier using phpMyAdmin.
4. **Upload Files**: Use FTP or your hosting’s file manager to upload all the files from your Local by Flywheel site to the appropriate directory on your live hosting.
5. **Update URLs**: In the database you imported, update all instances of your local site’s URL to your live site’s URL using a search and replace tool like “Better Search Replace” plugin.
6. **Update WordPress Config**: Update your live site’s wp-config.php file with the new database credentials.
7. **Fix Permalinks**: Go to Settings > Permalinks in your live WordPress admin and save the settings to refresh permalinks.
8. **Test**: Visit your live site and test thoroughly to ensure everything works as expected.
Manual migration can be more time-consuming but is often more reliable when plugin-based methods fail. Remember to take backups at every step to avoid data loss.
