Always test the migration on a development or staging site first and take a complete backup before proceeding. Only migrate your live site once you have confirmed that the migration works correctly and reliably in your test environment. ## Installation 1. Upload the plugin folder to `/wp-content/plugins/` 2. Activate the plugin through the **Plugins** menu in WordPress 3. Go to **LD to Lifter** in the admin sidebar 4. Select the courses to migrate and click **Start Migration** 5. Wait for the progress bar to reach 100% ## FAQ ### Will this overwrite existing LifterLMS content? No. The migrator creates new LifterLMS posts and does not delete existing LifterLMS content. ### What if migration stops halfway? Click **Reset** and then **Start Migration** again. Batch processing helps reduce timeouts on large sites. ### Is it safe to run on a live site? We recommend running on a staging site first and taking a full backup before migrating. ### How many courses can it handle? The plugin uses batch processing so there is no fixed course limit. Large course libraries have been tested successfully. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “LD to Lifter” is open source software.
