 * Hi all
 * I had the older version of the plugin installed with meta content added.
 * I tried to install the new version of the plugin in the live site but I get a
   request for the ftp host, password etc.
 * I don’t have this information so I wanted to install the plugin locally then 
   push it through the pipeline to update it on the live site. Will this overwrite
   the content on the live site.
 * I tried to export the content from the live site and import it into the local
   site that has the new plugin but it doesn’t seem to work.
