 * I use this to move sites from a development url to the live url. It works every
   time, no failures in 2 years and many websites. A good understanding of ftp setup
   is needed, and making sure permalinks are saved in the new website after the 
   move, and if images can’t be edited clearing the browser cache fixes that. I 
   am changing the domain, all content is present and correct when done, all pages
   can be accessed. This plugin is a massive time saver. The development website
   is totally untouched by the process.
    What is not made clear is making sure the
   database table prefix is the same in both sites, doing that makes for a much 
   cleaner process. Follow in instructions carefully and it works very well.
