Both plugins are really handy when migrating to WordPress or moving your WordPress site (e.g. root to folder or folder to root or folder to folder). And both plugins can work hand-in-hand for your ease and convenience.
You may find these plugins either by following the links below or using the Search Plugins found in your WordPress backend: Plugins > Add New.
