So, you have to migrate your existing WP posts — and once you have done that, their migrate plugin doesn’t work to migrate more! Dear Lord…. you just completely alienate anyone who wants to use this plugin in another way. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/493243424f5f1042e326cf827c072e32de4675c7f6b1cd8ef247290f5fdda9dc? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[StoryChief Plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/storychief-plugin/)󠁿 [stratusclick](https://profiles.wordpress.org/stratusclick/) June 18, 2021 I love the ease of use with this plugin that allows me to save time, with distributing my content to multiple sources. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/86f8eae334470cdc5aaf708f357c1558c69145f0e6c36ae5a43532609bcb514c? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Amazing software](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/amazing-software-3/)󠁿 [bottegatifernate](https://profiles.wordpress.org/bottegatifernate/) January 21, 2021 I regularly use Storychief for storytelling and also for post on my social accounts.

The clear sequence to follow, the distraction- free writing, prompts to provide all the ‘stuff’ that surrounds an article eg. SEO, links into social media and also direct embed into the website… all make it a breeze. Highly recommended. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/ddf1715b0af13d647bdf5996195b96b3e75141d551ad92196636fbd7b33cf317? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Love StoryChief](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/love-storychief/)󠁿 [stewarttownsend](https://profiles.wordpress.org/stewarttownsend/) May 21, 2020 Awesome tool and plugin, the team are helpful if there are any issues.
