Automates the entire process for migrating your wordpress install from a test/development/source to the live/destination domain. Also allows the ignoring of certain files/directories not needed to upload (e.g /cache, /.git, /.svn /.gitignore etc etc).
Here’s a list of what is accomplished during an automated deployment:
<ul>
<li>If supported, archives the entire wordpress installation for compressed upload</li>
<li>Checks the file permissions</li>
<li>Uploads either the archive or each individual file</li>
<li>An uploaded archive is then extracted server side</li>
<li>Uploading each individual file is maximized by upload speed by asynchronously uploading up to 10 files</li>
<li>You can choose to ignore a list of folders or files for the upload – example cache folder or repository folders</li>
<li>Dumps/Exports your entire database and uploads it to the live server</li>
<li>Automatically switches old URL with the new URL</li>
<li>Automatically updates the wp-config.php accordingly</li>
<li>Flushes wordpress rewrite rules</li>
</ul>
If you are scared about the automated transfer and wish to do it manually, then just download the MySQL dump with the updated URL.
Disclaimer: Please backup any files or mysql tables on the live server. Although Live Server Deploy aims to provide a seamless deploy, we cannot guarantee that nothing unexpected can happen that might damage your content. Use at own risk.

CleanUp WP helps you quickly set up a fresh WordPress installation by removing default content, configuring sensible defaults, and enabling performance optimizations.
Why use CleanUp WP?
Every new WordPress installation comes with demo content you don’t need: “Hello World” post, sample pages, default comments, and bundled plugins like Hello Dolly and Akismet. Manually cleaning this up takes time.
CleanUp WP handles all of this with a single click, plus offers toggleable performance and security optimizations that you can enable or disable at any time.
Cleanup Tab (One-time tasks)
These tasks run once and get marked as done:
<ul>
<li>Delete “Hello World” post</li>
<li>Delete “Sample Page”</li>

<li>Delete Hello Dolly & Akismet plugins</li>
<li>Delete unused themes (keeps active + parent)</li>
<li>Clear widget areas</li>
<li>Create main navigation menu</li>

<li>Set default image link to “None”</li>
<li>Discourage search engine indexing</li>
<li>Set timezone</li>
