Migration View in Sparkforge: Agency vs Sub-Account

By Sparkforge Support Team ·Last reviewed May 3, 2026

Agencies see all three WordPress migration paths (plugin, manual upload, white-glove) while sub-accounts only see the two self-serve options. The agency-only white-glove option stays hidden from clients to preserve the white-label experience.

Sparkforge shows different WordPress migration options depending on whether you are signed in as the agency or as a sub-account. Agencies see the full toolbox, including white-glove assistance. Sub-accounts only see the self-serve paths.

What agencies see

Inside the WordPress Hosting dashboard, an agency owner sees three migration options:

  • Effortless plugin migration — one-click migration with the Sparkforge plugin.
  • Manual migration — upload an All-in-One .wpress export.
  • White-glove migration — submit a request and our WordPress specialists run the migration.

The white-glove path is exclusive to agency-level users and is invisible to clients.

What sub-accounts see

Sub-accounts only see the two self-serve options: the plugin migration and the manual .wpress upload. They never see the white-glove option, and Sparkforge does not surface any indicator that a hidden option exists.

Why the views differ

The white-glove benefit is part of the agency tier. Hiding it from sub-accounts keeps the experience consistent for clients and protects your white-label brand.

Guiding a sub-account through migration

You have two clean options when a client needs migration help:

  1. Point them at the plugin migration and let them run it themselves.
  2. Submit the white-glove request on their behalf and run the migration without them seeing the agency-only step.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can sub-accounts see the white-glove migration option?
No. Sub-accounts only see the plugin and manual migration options. The white-glove path is reserved for agency-level users.
Will my clients know the white-glove option exists?
No. There are no labels, badges, or indicators that hint at hidden options, so the white-label experience stays intact.
Can I run a white-glove migration on behalf of a sub-account?
Yes. Submit the white-glove request from your agency view and our WordPress specialists handle the migration without the client needing to do anything.
Why are the migration paths different for agencies and sub-accounts?
The white-glove service is a premium agency benefit. Limiting visibility prevents client confusion and protects the white-label offering.
