 * Hi,
    In your instructions for Manually Migrating Staging to Production you mention“
   Option 2 – Advanced: Use a separate DB migration plugin. Go to step 4.2” but 
   there isn’t a section 4.2. Can you elaborate on the steps for migrating the staging
   database to live WITHOUT using the staging database on the live site? Thanks!

 * Hi [@joeseales](https://wordpress.org/support/users/joeseales/)
 * thanks for the head up. I’ve enhanced the documentation. Please have a look at
   it.
    Please also understand that I can not give a full explanation of how to 
   do this with other tools at the moment as this is WP Staging’s Pro intentions
   but I’ve mentioned a plugin in the documentation which allows you to do it manually
   with some extra work.
 * Cheers
    René
