 * Hi,
    Could you tell me little bit more how to sync localhost and remote site 
   databases using your plugin?

 * Databases do not sync via the plugin. Your localhost wp-config file should be
   configured to use the database on your remote site on your web host. This way
   you are actually just using the same database from both local and remote without
   the need to sync it.
 * To do this you can enter your IP in the “Remote Database Access Hosts” in you
   sites cPanel.
