Estimated value

What this plugin might earn a year, and what it might sell for. Modeled from public signals; we don't see anyone's books.

Est. annual revenue

Est. acquisition value

N/A

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

    Note you may have to change the table prefix in wp_config.php yourself but that’s no great problem. Great plugin, thank you.

    Working well ! but after changing you need to copy the new table_prefix name then add it in table_prefix inside wp-config.php although it has 777 Permission but it’s not change automatically and the site will open like a new installation .

    I tried on WP Version 5.8. When it finished I had a fresh install of WP. All my content was gone. (I did back up my site so was able to restore it with no problem). Not sure if I did something wrong. ….Just make sure to back up your site before trying.
