    I’m unable to find a way so far to export and import the sheets from one wordpress installation to another… I’m currently setting up a new site, but we’re not migrating the whole WP install, so was hoping there was a way to move the plugin’s info without having to recreate it all by hand… am I out of luck?

    There is nothing built-in to do that at this time, but it’s very simple to back up the 3 database tables my plugin creates, and then import those into the database on your new site. You could use something like PHPMyAdmin, or whatever database manager your hosting company provides, or you could use any of a number of plugins that do database backups and restores (try to find one that lets you select which tables to backup and restore).

    The table names you want should be obvious, but they will be your database prefix (usually the default of wp_) followed by:
    pta_sus_sheets
    pta_sus_tasks
    pta_sus_signups

    The plugin settings will be stored in the wordpress options database table (usually wp_option), so you might have to recreate your settings if you aren’t going to backup and restore your options table. But, all your sheets, tasks, and signup data are all in those 3 tables I listed.

    I thought about trying that – but wasn’t sure if there was meta data that would cause problems – it doesn’t tie into anything else? If I duplicate those three tables, they should show up in the new site?

    All the data is in those 3 tables, except the plugin settings. No meta stored anywhere else that would cause problems.

    That seems to have worked so far… thank you for the quick help.
