 * Hi, I’m looking around but can’t find any help or guide of using this plugin.
   
   I suppose you’ve to install it in local and remote server and do the export/import,
   but which changes are necessary to do in the database? A guide explaining the
   steps would be very helpful.
 * Thanks.

 * Hi diggeridoo,
 * You do not have to do anything with your database.
    Please just follow the following
   steps after installing the latest version of the plugin on both your source and
   destination sites.
 * Export (source)
    1. Active All in One WP Migration plugin 2. Go to All in One
   WP Migration -> Export 3. Click on Export to a file 4. Wait for the export to
   complete, then download the file
 * Import (destination)
    1. Active All in One WP Migration plugin 2. Go to All in
   One WP Migration -> Import 3. Drag and drop the file in the import area, or click
   on import from file and pick the file 4. The file will upload to your server,
   depending on your connection it might take a while 5. When the file has been 
   uploaded, we will show you a dialog that tells you that your database and files
   will be erased and we will replace them with the files from your other website.
   Click OK 6. Wait until the import is completed 7. At the end of the import you
   will see a message that will tell you to save your permalinks, follow the link
   on the screen. You may or may not have to login before seeing the permalinks 
   settings page 8. After you save permalinks twice, your website is ready to be
   used **Please note that you will have to use the login details from your exported
   site after import.**
 * Let me know if you have any questions.

 * Great! Thanks for the explanation 🙂
    I had doubts about the database details
   within wp-config.php since I have the root config in local which could be vulnerable
   when going online, but your plugin take care of this and keep the user/password
   of the already created database in the live-server. That’s great!!
 * Worked perfectly for me. Just a few clics and loads of time and headaches saved.
   
   Thank you an keep this good work!
