FAQ
What specific data can I export with this add-on?
The add-on is designed to be comprehensive. You can export all core data from the Chauffeur Taxi Booking System, including all past and future bookings, customer details, driver information, vehicle profiles, defined fixed routes, pricing rules, booking form settings, and general plugin configurations. This ensures a complete clone of your booking system's operational data.
Will this add-on work with any version of the Chauffeur Taxi Booking System?
This add-on is maintained to be compatible with the latest versions of the main Chauffeur Taxi Booking System plugin. We always recommend ensuring both the main plugin and this add-on are updated to their latest versions to guarantee smooth performance and access to all features. Compatibility details are typically listed in the plugin's changelog.
Can I use this plugin to merge data from two different websites?
The primary function of this plugin is migration and backup, which involves overwriting existing data on the destination site to match the source file. It is not designed to merge data (e.g., combining booking lists from two sites). Importing a file will replace the existing Chauffeur data on the target site with the data from the file. Always back up your destination site before performing an import.
How does the plugin handle large amounts of data during export/import?
The plugin is optimized to handle large datasets efficiently. It processes data in chunks to prevent server timeouts and memory limit issues, which are common problems with large WordPress sites. This ensures that even if you have thousands of bookings and routes, the import and export processes remain stable and reliable.
