WordPress Migrator AES-128-CBC cipher method is required error

Last update: Feb 08, 2021

The SiteGround Migrator plugin uses AES-128 encryption to make sure the data during your website’s transfer is secure.

If you see an error message that the cipher method is not available, contact your host and request that this encryption method is enabled for your account. After the encryption method is available restart the migration process.
