Who This Is For / When to Use
This article is for Kyrios users who:
Have an existing WordPress site hosted in Kyrios
See a WordPress Infrastructure Migration prompt
Need to confirm migration to the new WordPress infrastructure
Want to understand downtime, access limits, and post-migration steps
What Is Changing
Kyrios has upgraded its WordPress infrastructure to:
Improve site performance and load speed
Increase reliability and stability
Support future WordPress features
All new WordPress sites are created on the new infrastructure by default.
Existing sites must be migrated once via a confirmation flow.
Important Things to Know Before Migrating
Zero Downtime
Your website remains live and accessible throughout the migration.
Temporary Dashboard Restrictions
During migration:
Editing access is temporarily disabled
No changes can be made to the site
Access is restored immediately after completion
Migration Time
Typical completion time: ~10 minutes per site
Migration runs automatically in the background
Step 1: Confirm Migration
Open your WordPress Dashboard.
A Critical Infra Update modal appears.
Click Confirm Migration to proceed.
Step 2: Migration in Progress
After confirmation:
A new WordPress instance is created
Your site continues to function normally
No action is required during this step
You will see a New Instance in Progress message.
Step 3: Migration Completed
Once migration finishes:
You are automatically redirected to the dashboard
All domains and subdomains remain connected
Site content, themes, plugins, and settings are preserved
Post-Migration Checks
After migration, review your domains:
If a domain shows Verified, no action is required
If a domain shows Not Verified, DNS updates are required
Fixing a “Not Verified” Domain
Open DNS Settings for the domain.
Copy the DNS records provided.
Add them to your DNS provider.
Wait for propagation and re-verify.
What Is Not Affected
The migration does not change:
WordPress themes
Plugins and custom code
Database content
Site URLs
SEO structure
Email hosting or MX records
Migrating Multiple WordPress Sites
If you have multiple WordPress sites:
Each site must be migrated individually
Migration prompts appear per site
Sites can be migrated at different times
Common Issues and Fixes

Cannot Edit Site During Migration
Cause: Temporary access restriction
Fix: Wait for migration to complete (usually ~10 minutes)
