Top Plugins for Migrating to WordPress Multisite

1. Duplicator Pro

Duplicator Pro is one of the best plugins for migrating WordPress sites, including moving a single site into a Multisite network as a subsite. It packages your entire site into a single archive file that can be easily transferred and installed on the new network. Duplicator Pro supports migrating the full database, files, and media. [1][3]

2. WP Migrate DB Pro

WP Migrate DB Pro, combined with its Multisite Tools add-on, allows you to migrate a subsite both into and out of a Multisite network. You can push or pull a subsite from a single site install to a Multisite network and vice versa. It supports migrating the database and media files. [1]

3. All-in-One WP Migration

The premium version of All-in-One WP Migration includes a multisite extension that enables you to export single or multiple subsites out of your network. It can also migrate an entire Multisite network. Pricing for the multisite extension starts at $319 per year. [3]

4. Migrate Guru

Migrate Guru is a free plugin that supports migrating single sites or entire Multisite networks. It's one of the few free migration plugins that works with Multisite. The migration process is quick and easy, requiring no setup on your end. [2][3]

Using a dedicated migration plugin like these is recommended over manual migration, as it automates the process and ensures a smooth transition of your site into the new Multisite network. The plugins handle the complexities of moving database tables and files between the single site and Multisite environments.
