Biggest opportunity: Swap “clone” for “wordpress migration”. “clone” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “wordpress migration” sits at #22 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

of downloads still active
At least 200 of 11.8K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,774 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Uncategorized plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
This plugin shipped 4 releases in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.
| Keyword | wp.org | On merit | wp.org move, 90 days |

The plug-in requires you to create an account at a separate website. The account creation function doesn’t work, so you therefore can’t use the plugin.

This saved me a ton of work and was very easy to use – first I had problems due to a bug but the dev reached out to me and upladed the patch within an hour – and all that for free, what more do you want? 🙂 Recommend!All sites, wiki, pictures copied with new URLs attached – thanks WP Duplicate!!

I have been using this plugin on a couple of projects, and it works as expected. I did have one minor issue and support was able to help me pretty quick. I look forward to seeing this plugin developed further.

Installed on a local host. Windows gave me a virus alert “threat quarantined. Severe” Alert Details. Detected: Backdoor:PHP/Yorcirekrikseng.E Status: Quarantined. This program provides remote access to the computer it is installed on. Location. wp-content\plugins\local-sync\admin\class-local-sync-shell-dump.php Don’t know if this is legit or not, but not going to chance it on my local pc.

Worst local development plugin, ever, Period. The plugin doesn’t even give you proper notifications, just plain errors, not even documentation. The Pro is a waste of money and time; Now wished I had time to test the plugin thoroughly during my 14 days trial period.
