Very useful – This should have been a part of AIO WP Migration
by atulcj·2 months ago

Thank You!! – I had an issue with AIO for last 3 months where my inflated cache folder was causing the backup to fail. I managed to exclude the cache folder with this plugin and everything was back to normal.

A very useful plugin. This functionality should have been a part of AIO WP Migration.

I was able to reduce the size from 3 GB to 900 Mb by excluding some big sized folders. Thank you for such a great open-source plugin.

Perfect!

Needed to exclude a LOT of backup directories from All-in-One WP Migration. All-in-One WP Migration Folder Excluder was exactly what I needed. The backup went from 3.3 GB to 340 MB. Thanks!

Thanks a lot.
Might be good to say that the folders are relative to wp-content.

Thanks
