New PRO feature: The Exclude tables feature
With Prime Mover PRO 2.0.6, it’s now possible to exclude specific database tables when you export a site. This is useful if you have gigantic database tables that you don’t need to migrate. And if these tables are created by third-party plugins that your site is no longer using.
This can speed up the export and restore process in general because the Prime Mover plugin does not export and restore these tables. Another use of this feature is to create a lighter or cleaner version of your site. Say your site feels heavy and sluggish because of these database tables – you can clean up or create a lighter version of your site as follows:
- Deactivate plugins that are heavy and you no longer need. Or using the Prime Mover PRO feature – exclude these plugins from the export.
- Identify all database tables that are no longer used by your site (leftover from previous plugins or deactivated plugins).
- Using the new Prime Mover PRO exclude table feature – exclude these tables from the export.
- Generate an updated export of the site.
- Create a fresh WordPress install on your site.
- Finally, restore the package. Your site now runs faster because of reduced overhead by removing all the unnecessary tables and plugins.
Latest SDK library: Freemius 2.12.0
Freemius released its latest SDK library, which is now integrated with the latest Prime Mover release version 2.0.6. This update includes numerous bug fixes and new features designed to enhance the user experience with Freemius.

Usability fixes
Prime Mover 2.0.6 includes several updates that address the following usability issues with previous versions:
- If the site already has a license enabled but not yet activated, all PRO buttons should display as “Activate PRO” instead of showing “Upgrade PRO”. This will immediately inform the user that a license is available and can be used.
- If the site does not have a license enabled, it should show “Upgrade to PRO” buttons.
- If the site runs out of license activation quotas, it should show “Upgrade to PRO,” highlighting the current plan so the user can upgrade to a higher plan if needed.
- If the license is white-labeled, don’t display the upgrade page, as it does not exist. Instead, provide instructions on how to upgrade correctly. Your developer activates white-labeled licenses, and the client does not have complete control over these license accounts and the upgrade process.
- If the site has a deactivated license, the upgrade page should direct the user to their Freemius account so they can correctly upgrade, which includes prorated upgrades.
- All PRO features now have a tutorial linked to the official documentation.
