Let's take a look at all the options in Migrate DB Pro.
We have the option here to export a file.
By default
we're prompted to save it to our computer and it's compressed but we can turn
those off. If we turn off
the save prompt,
it will just save it to the server
in the uploads folder.
We have find and replace options just like the free plugin here,
but we can also add more which is not available in the free plugin,
and we can remove them.
We have option to select which tables exactly we want to migrate,
if that's something we want to do. We can just
migrate the posts tables for instance.
We have advanced options, this is the same as the free plugin here.
The ability to replace the GUIDs,
and there's a note here about why
you may or may not want to do that.
And we can exclude spam comments if
we don't care about spam comments. We can
exclude post revisions as well.
And then we can save all these settings as a profile, so that next time we
want to do this same kind of migration,
we don't have to go through all this stuff.
It's especially handy if we have a
bunch of other replaces or we're selecting very specific tables that we want to
migrate.
The other option here is to pull
and so if we enter connection details here we can
get a better idea of the options available.
It's basically the same options as before,
you'll notice here that
the find and replace has been pre-populated,
so we don't have to actually enter what's going to be replaced.
We also have the option here to back up the database,
so before the migration is done,
it'll backup the database locally into the uploads folder.
This is really handy if
you're not sure if they're some stuff that you might want to keep
locally or whatever.
And then there's push option which is pretty much the same as
pull as far as the options go. Obviously you're doing the opposite, you're
pushing the data instead of pulling it.
And if we take a look at the settings tab here, we have the option to accept
pull requests,
we have the option to accept push requests,
then you have the connection info here,
and the ability to reset the API key.
And there's the license information here, where you can enter your license key and
then activate it.
And this will give you access to
update the plugin.
If you take a look at the help that here, we've got
some email support information
and gives you some information about the license you currently have.
Then we have some videos
and some diagnostic and error logging,
which is really handy if you're having trouble with the plugin.
You should really just copy
this into your support request
and uh...
it will definitely help us help you.
And that's it,
that's the plugin.
