      Hello QloApps Team,
      I have been testing QloApps locally on my machine using WAMP (offline environment). Now that the testing phase is complete, I am planning to migrate the installation to an external live server. Before I proceed, I would like to clarify a few points to ensure that the migration is done correctly.

      1. Migration approach
        My goal is to perform a clean installation of the latest QloApps version (1.7) on the live server and then transfer only selected data from my local test environment.
      2. Data I want to keep
        From the local installation, I would like to transfer:
        – All my custom translations
        – All configuration settings
        – All text content (CMS pages, descriptions, email templates, etc.)
        – All images and media files (rooms, sliders, logos, etc.)
      3. Data I do not want to keep
        I want to exclude all test‑related data:
        – Customers
        – Bookings
        – Payments
        – Cancellations
        – Any other test records created during development
      4. Technical environment
        Local test setup:
        – QloApps 1.7
        – PHP 8.4
        – MySQL
        – Apache
      5. Questions before migration
        – What is the recommended method to transfer only translations, settings, settingscontent, and media files from a local installation to a clean live installation?
        – Are translations stored exclusively in the database, or also in file‑based language packs?
        – Which folders and database tables should be copied, and which should be avoided to prevent transferring test data?
        – Is there an official or recommended procedure for partial migration (content/settings only, without customers/bookings)?
        – Are there known issues when moving from a WAMP localhost environment to a live server that I should be aware of?
        I would appreciate any guidance or best practices you can provide before I start the migration.
        Thank you very much for your support and for your great work on QloApps.
        Best regards,
