WordPress featured images: migrating from dev to live site

My go-to procedure for moving sites from one place (domain/etc) to another is WP Clone from WP Acadamy https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-clone-by-wp-academy/ . Works almost every time very easily. (Sometimes it doesn’t work the first time, but do it again and all is well.)

Adjusts all links from the old domain to the new domain. Moves everything: posts, pages, themes, plugins,settings, etc.
