Sync databases across servers with a single click.
WARNING: This plugin is for advanced users. If used incorrectly it could wipe out all your content!
Keeping databases in sync between development, staging and live servers can be a pain. This plugin lets you
link together several WordPress installations by sharing a secret token. Once linked, administrators can pull
or push the entire database between servers with just a click.
Currently syncs database only, not uploaded files.
The plugin will attempt to make local backups of the database before overwriting. These are stored as gzipped SQL
files in wp-content/plugins/database-sync/backups/dbYYYYMMDD.HHMMSS.sql.gz The backups directory should be made
writable, and you should keep an eye on it if you sync often as it will grow in size.
See Installation instructions.
You are now set up to pull from and push to the main server.

extension. Thanks to Simon East.
