    So my current live site has many. accounts that have registered to it However, on a local version, I have purchased a bundled theme and made some modifications to it This is the version I would like my live site to use. However, if I use prime mover to. transfer the local site to the live site wouldn’t all the accounts that are on my live site be deleted. In other words, is there a way to transfer my local site but keep the user accounts intact.

    Hello Oiver, thank you for using the Prime Mover plugin! Regarding your question, Prime Mover won’t delete any users in the restore process. If a user exists in the target site, Prime Mover will update that user with information from the source site. If the user does not exist on the target site, it will add that user to your site.

    But existing users in the target site won’t get deleted. You can read more about how Prime Mover handles user migrations here.

    If you want to make sure that everything works before migrating to your live site (from your local), you can do the following tests:

    • Create a clone of your live site to a development server (using your live hosting environment). This serves as your staging site with all of your live site users.
    • First, create an export from your source site using Prime Mover’s latest version and migrate that to your staging site.
    • After restore – double check the existing accounts and make sure they are not affected.
    • If the test passes (no affected users) – you can roll out or migrate the same package to your live site.

    The above steps should allow you to restore your site without affecting users. Cheers.
