 * Hello
    When using this plugin, is the migration as clean as a manual copy/paste
   of all the files + database? I’d like to avoid the plugin messing up with database,
   links, files access rights, etc. After migration, once the plugin is uninstalled,
   will everything be purely identical as before the migration? (= exact same files,
   exact same database entries –> no new files or entries generated by the plugin)
   Many thanks

 * Hi Greg0497,
 * Thank you for reaching out.
    Let’s say you are exporting from Site 1 and importing
   on Site 2; Site 1’s wp-content folder = A B C D Site 2’s wp-content folder = 
   D E F G After the import completes, Site 2’s wp-content folder will become A 
   B C D E F G. A B C from Site 1 will be added to Site 2, while D and the database
   on Site 2 will be overwritten.
 * Please let me know if you have any questions.
