A simple no-fuss solution
-
Exactly as it says in the title. I went through multiple alternatives before coming back to this.
Working with a local install and needed to simply transfer a LocalWP site to host with a blank install (1-button setup). Just needed a plugin to spit out the local and replace the host site. Should be a straight forward export/import scenario.
- Cloudways free Auto Migrate plugin wouldn’t work because the site wasn’t available publicly.
- I own a pro version of WP Vivid which has served me well, but LocalWP didn’t want to play nicely with it.
- Multiple other high-profile popular plugins will happily export the file but you have to pay to import it, so limited use for me.
Yes, I could have gone via an external storage account, but really couldn’t be bothered. Yes, I could go manual FTP etc etc. Was looking for a simple solution as neither WP install have much going on.
This plugin was installed and the whole export/import process was about 3 button presses and done! Highest praise for a simple solution in an age where cramming plugins with upsells and features that just get in the way. 5 easy stars for this use scenario of the plugin.
