## Installation

 1. Upload to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
 3. Optionally, opt-in to security and feature update notifications, including non-
    sensitive diagnostic tracking, with freemius.com. If you skip this, that’s okay!
    Prime Mover will still work just fine.
 4. You should see the Prime Mover Control Panel. Click “Go to Migration Tools” to 
    start migrating sites.

## FAQ

### What makes Prime Mover unique to other existing migration and backup plugins?

 * The free version has no restrictions on package size, number of websites, or 
   migration mode (single-site or multisite will work). (Note: Exporting/Restoring
   a multisite main site is a PRO feature)
 * The free version supports WordPress multisite migration on any number of subsites,
   except that exporting/restoring the multisite main site is a PRO feature.
 * It can back up WordPress multisite sub-sites or migrate multisite.
 * No need to delete your WordPress installation, create/delete the database, and
   all other technical stuff. It will save you a lot of time.
 * This is not hosting-dependent. Prime Mover is designed to work with any hosting
   company you choose.
 * The free version has full multisite migration functionality, usually missing 
   in most migration plugins’ free versions.
 * Full versatility—migrate from your local host dev site or from a live site to
   another live site.
 * The entire migration will be done inside the WordPress admin. Anyone with administrator
   access can do it. Hiring a freelancer to do the job is unnecessary and will save
   you money.
 * You won’t have to mess with complicated migration settings; the free version 
   has built-in settings. You can choose only a few options to export and migrate—
   that’s it.
 * You can save, download, delete, and migrate packages using the management page.
 * No need to worry about PHP configuration and server settings. Compatible with
   most default PHP server settings, even in limited shared hosting.
 * Prime Mover works with modern PHP versions 5.6 to 8.5+ (Google Drive feature 
   requires at least PHP 7.4).
 * The code follows PHP-fig coding standards (standard PHP coding guidelines).
 * The free version supports backup and restoration of non-UTF8 sites. However, 
   you need the PRO version to migrate non-UTF8 to the UTF8 (utf8mb4) database charset
   and vice versa.
 * After migration, you don’t need to worry about setting up users or changing passwords.
   It does not overwrite existing site users.

Just migrated a new website from local to server, absolutely flawless – and intuitive,
no need to spend hours going over documentation or having to create an account. 
What a timesaver! Thank you!
