 * I have completed my migration from Joomla to WordPress and everything seems fine.
   Do I need to keep these two plugins active or can they be removed now?

 * Hi Mrckeen,
 * You may remove the plugins once your migration is complete.
 * The only advantage in keeping the plugins active is any changes to your site’s
   URL will be tracked in case of future updates or rollbacks.
 * The plugins also work as a search and replace tool for any strings in the database,
   not just URL.
 * Otherwise, there is no harm in deactivating/removing the plugins.
 * Have a great night!
