### 󠀁[Yes! It works](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/yes-it-works-17/)󠁿

This plugin does exactly as it promises. It can save you a lot of work as you move
content from one site to another. It really is a good tool. It deserves five stars.
I have given only four stars because it doesn’t have any explanation of how it works.
You simply have to trust that it works. It has two options for users when you make
the import. Both are important but they rely on the user to know the computer jargon
that explains what they are about to do. That is a mistake. It should be a simple
explanation of what is about to happen. Please add that explanation to the import
panel.

### 󠀁[Excellent Tool](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/excellent-tool-358/)󠁿

 [micdt](https://profiles.wordpress.org/micdt/) July 14, 2021

I do not understand why this plugins has no ratings up to now. It does what it promises
very well and reliably. I’ve used it to move and/or merge WP-installations. It works
flawlessly. Just like its brother “Moving Media Library”, BTW …* Domo arigato! Michael*
That is why I will write the very same comment there now.
