 * Hello,
 * Do you have a **Site Migration** article (when using the _Better WP Security_
   plugin) that explains what to do when migrating a site with the plugin active?
 * I have been on the phone with GoDaddy for almost two hours. A simple site migration
   has been anything but. And, it is because I used the _Better WP Security_ plugin
   to make the site more secure; however, in making the site more secure, it also
   made it impossible to migrate without breaking links, widgets, you-name-it…
 * Can anyone at bit51 shed some light on this? _I would deeply appreciate it. _
 * Thank you,
    Doug Arnold
