## Description

Many older WP sites used categories and/or pages to organize what were essentially
subsites without proper access control and other site-specific goodies like themes,
widgets, and plugins.

This plugin lets you move that content to another site on your WordPress network
with a single click, with seamless redirects.

This is **beta** software. Back stuff up first. (I shouldn’t have to tell you that,
right?)

## Installation

Extract the zip file and just drop the contents in the wp-content/plugins/ directory
of your WordPress installation and then activate the Plugin from Plugins page.

## FAQ

#### Why not just use WP’s built-in export/import functions?

Because they won’t 1) remove the content on the originating site, 2) handle redirects,
or 3) do it so damn fast. And I’m into re-inventing the wheel.

#### What about my comments, metadata, and categories/tags?

What about them? Oh, yeah, I bring that stuff over. It’s all good.
