This is the repository archive. It installs, but the folder name will carry the branch suffix and updates will not flow.

Install straight from GitHub with WP-CLI:

wp plugin install https://github.com/ailirmatrix-cloud/the-exporter-wp/archive/refs/heads/main.zip
No built-in updater. New versions won't appear under Dashboard → Updates. Install new releases yourself, or let Git Updater track the repository.

  • Resumable jobs with restore points
  • Manual transfer (SFTP / cPanel), connected site push, or browser transfer for small sites
  • WP-CLI for production workflows
