Moving from another plugin
Already have a document library on another plugin? We’ll do the heavy lifting to bring it into FileDeck — it all happens on your own WordPress, your files stay put, and you stay in control. We stay with you until it’s live and you’re happy, and you won’t pay twice for time you’ve already bought.
What you get when you switch
We do the heavy lifting
Send us an export of your current library and we’ll map it into FileDeck, sort out the fiddly bits — external links, access rules, odd formats — and walk the import through with you. It runs on your own site; you review it as a draft before anything goes public.
We match the time you have left
Still have months left on your current plan? We add that time to your FileDeck licence, free — so you’re never paying two plugins for the same period. No discount gimmicks, just no paying twice.
30 days to be sure
Every plan is backed by a 30-day money-back guarantee, and our migration help doesn’t stop until your library is live and you’re happy. Moving is genuinely risk-free.
How the move works
Three steps, and we do the heavy lifting.
Send us your library
Export your documents from your current plugin (most produce a CSV) and tell us how it’s set up — categories, who can see what, any external links. That’s all we need to scope the move — no logins, no access.
We rebuild it — on your site
On your own WordPress, we run FileDeck’s Migrate importer to recreate your categories, tags, links and access rules — your files stay exactly where they are. It comes together as a draft you can check before anything goes public.
Go live when you’re happy
Once it looks right, swap the FileDeck block or shortcode in and switch the old plugin off. If anything’s not perfect, we keep working with you until it is.
What we bring across
Whatever plugin you’re on now, the parts that matter come with you.
Documents & files
Your files stay where they are — with their titles, descriptions and dates.
Categories & tags
Your whole structure, rebuilt the way it was.
External links
Documents that live on Drive, Dropbox or SharePoint.
Access rules
Who can see what — by role, password or visibility.
Custom fields
Extra columns like department, owner or reference.
No gimmicks — just a fair deal
We don’t run switch-and-bait discounts that jump at renewal. You pay the same honest price as everyone else, your renewal never goes up, and we simply don’t make you pay for time you’ve already got. The help to move is on us because we’d rather earn your library than discount our way to it.
Questions about moving
Which plugins can you move from?
Any document library or download plugin that can export your list — most produce a CSV, and FileDeck’s built-in Migrate importer reads the common formats. If yours exports something unusual, send it over and we’ll sort it out.
What does the migration cost?
Nothing beyond your FileDeck plan. Our help is included, and we add the time remaining on your current plan to your FileDeck licence so you’re not paying twice for the same months.
How big a library can you move?
Libraries of any size — from a few dozen documents to thousands. For very large or unusual libraries we’ll scope the move with you first so there are no surprises.
Do you need access to my WordPress?
No. The move runs on your own site and your files stay where they are — we guide you and support you until it’s done, and you stay in control throughout. If you’d rather we did the hands-on work inside your site, we can do that on a staging copy or with temporary access you arrange — just ask.
Can I just do it myself?
Absolutely. FileDeck’s Migrate tool (Documents → Migrate) imports another plugin’s CSV export directly — here’s how. The help, and the offer to match the time left on your plan, are there if you want them.
What if it doesn’t work out?
You’re covered by the 30-day money-back guarantee, and we don’t consider a move finished until you’re happy. There’s no risk in trying it.
Tell us about your library
Send a few details and we’ll take it from there — no obligation, and no charge to move. Rather run ahead? FileDeck’s Migrate tool imports your CSV yourself.
