 * The plugin uses the site name in the _postmeta database, for example
    /var/www/
   html/SITE_NAME/wp-content/ew_backup/2021/05/file.jpg This is not acceptable since
   the path and site name may differ in the test environment and different hosting!
   Fix the problem! Thank!

 * I am now worried.. 🙁 about what this person said. i will check it too ..
    are
   we exposed to security risks? should we expect secondary consequences?

 * Hello,
 * This does not cause any security risk or any other problems.
 * During site migration, the paths to the files saved in the database should be
   changed along with the change of domain. I recommend the [Better Search Replace](https://pl.wordpress.org/plugins/better-search-replace/)
   plugin.

 * thank you for reassuring us, so if I understood correctly I do not watermark 
   my local site, I wait I put it online then I apply the watermark in bulk. is 
   not it ? it’s a good idea, isn’t it? while waiting for a more internal trick 
   to be found

 * Hello,
 * There is no need to wait until you go online. You can watermark your local site
   and then change the paths to the files during the site migration, f.e. using 
   the plugin mentioned above.
