Use it in your project
Read a WXR export through Migration Assistant and inspect the planned records. When URL Manager is available, preserve old permalinks with redirects.
Picture it on your site
For a WordPress move, choose a representative WXR sample with posts, authors and attachment references before processing the full export. Review the proposed records through Migration Assistant and plan old URL handling separately. The importer provides the source-reading step; cleanup, redirect decisions and the final migration approval remain part of the project.

Maintain and monitor your site
- Import supported content, authors, taxonomies and media references.

Make a signal actionable
An operational screen is most useful when a warning has an owner and a next step. Decide which checks matter to your site, who reviews them and how they distinguish an expected state from a failure. The package supplies its supported observations or controls; the application and hosting environment still determine the queues, schedules, credentials and infrastructure those checks depend on.
Exercise the recovery path
On a safe local or staging environment, follow one representative task from detection to resolution and confirm the public result afterwards. Check what happens when a dependency is unavailable and how the team knows the issue has cleared. Visible status is useful evidence, but it should sit alongside your deployment, monitoring and recovery procedures rather than replace them.
Marketplace listings can describe install impact and data access.
This installs as a Composer package. Check its removal guidance and retained-data policy before uninstalling it.
Paid checkout adds access to the purchasing account after payment. Add a free package to your account, then review compatibility and site impact before installing it.

Review evidence for this release
Imports WordPress WXR exports into pages, including streamed parsing for large files, redirect creation, and media re-hosting. The XML parser rejects DOCTYPE declarations and enforces size ceilings, and media downloads are restricted to public internet addresses with DNS-pinned requests to prevent request forgery against internal services. Code review found no unresolved defects. Downloaded images now use the reviewed shared content, canonical filename and storage-destination validation boundary.
Review reduces risk, but it is not a permanent security guarantee.

Accepted limitations
- Large imports are processed in chunks with checkpointing, so very large exports take correspondingly longer to complete. Cross-package integration was not exercised by this per-package review; the local suites used SQLite, and live browser flows and server-database behaviour were not exercised. Media container payloads remain opaque. Static-serving response headers and live remote storage were not verified; deployment must serve media as non-executable static content with matching content types and nosniff protection.
Access follows the account that owns the extension. Review the release trail and verification evidence here before installing.

Before checkout
Know who owns access and what happens next
Payment, customer account ownership, site activation, and package access are separate steps. The checkout reference lets support trace a problem without moving the licence to another account.
Who processes the payment and taxes?
Lemon Squeezy is the seller and hosts paid marketplace checkout. Any VAT due is calculated and added by Lemon Squeezy at checkout, and Lemon Squeezy issues the tax receipt. Capell does not collect card details; it activates the matching marketplace licence after payment is confirmed.
Which account owns the licence?
The signed-in customer account that completes checkout owns the Capell licence, support history, and future install access. Capell surfaces a link to the tax receipt issued by Lemon Squeezy. Use the intended organisation account before paying.
How does the site receive package access?
The install flow connects the licence to the requesting site. Paid and private packages then use authenticated Composer access from the customer account that owns the licence.
What happens if checkout is cancelled or expires?
No licence is created until Lemon Squeezy confirms payment. After a cancellation or expired quote, return to the same marketplace listing and start a fresh checkout so price and package details are recalculated.
How do I request a refund?
Use the order link on the Lemon Squeezy receipt and request the refund through the Lemon Squeezy order receipt. If the receipt or order link is unavailable, contact Capell support so the payment and access record can be traced.
What should I do if access does not appear?
Keep the checkout reference from the page or receipt and contact support before trying another account. Support can trace the payment, customer account, licence, and connected site from that reference.
