The Simple Membership Data Migration Addon provides an easy way to transfer all your Simple Membership plugin data from one WordPress installation to another. This can be helpful when migrating data from a staging site to a live production site.
Note: This addon is currently in Beta. We strongly recommend creating a full backup of your site before using it. Data migration can be complex due to the unique characteristics of different sites. As a result, our ability to provide free, site-specific support is limited.

How to Use This Addon
Step 1) Install the Addon
Download and install the Simple Membership Data Migration Addon on both the source and target WordPress installations.
Step 2) Export Data
Navigate to the migration tool on the source site and export the data as a file. Refer to the screenshot below to locate the migration addon interface.
Step 3) Import Data
Go to the target site, upload the exported file, and import the data.
Step 4) Verify and Adjust the Data
Review the various settings and menus of the plugin on the target site to ensure everything is configured correctly. Check for any domain-specific data, such as URLs, that may need updating to match the target site’s domain. The migration addon clones the data exactly as it exists on the source site without modifying it. If the target WordPress installation uses a different domain or URL, you’ll need to update those details manually after the migration.
Removing Imported Data
If the migration to your target site did not work as expected and you wish to remove the imported data, you can use the Reset Settings and Data Addon to clear it.
