 *  So my current live site has many. accounts that have registered to it However,
   on a local version, I have purchased a bundled theme and made some modifications
   to it This is the version I would like my live site to use. However, if I use
   prime mover to. transfer the local site to the live site wouldn’t all the accounts
   that are on my live site be deleted. In other words, is there a way to transfer
   my local site but keep the user accounts intact.

 * Hello Oiver, thank you for using the Prime Mover plugin! Regarding your question,
   Prime Mover won’t delete any users in the restore process. If a user exists in
   the target site, Prime Mover will update that user with information from the 
   source site. If the user does not exist on the target site, it will add that 
   user to your site.
 * But existing users in the target site won’t get deleted. You can read more about
   [how Prime Mover handles user migrations here](https://codexonics.com/prime_mover/prime-mover/prime-mover-user-migration-documentation/).
 * If you want to make sure that everything works before migrating to your live 
   site (from your local), you can do the following tests:
    - Create a clone of your live site to a development server (using your live 
      hosting environment). This serves as your staging site with all of your live
      site users.
    - First, create an export from your source site using Prime Mover’s latest version
      and migrate that to your staging site.
    - After restore – double check the existing accounts and make sure they are 
      not affected.
    - If the test passes (no affected users) – you can roll out or migrate the same
      package to your live site.
 * The above steps should allow you to restore your site without affecting users.
   Cheers.
