Overview

Testing a theme, plugin, or update on a live site can affect the site visitors use. WP Staging Pro creates a copy of a WordPress site for development and testing, giving site owners and web professionals a separate place to work. Staging sites can use separate databases, subdomains, or custom directories, and access can be restricted by user role.

The plugin also handles manual and scheduled backups, restores, and website migrations. Backups can include the database and files, with options to store them on services such as Google Drive, Amazon S3, Dropbox, FTP/SFTP, and DigitalOcean Spaces. For sites using a staging copy, changes to themes, plugins, and the database can be pushed to the live site. Multisite networks are supported for cloning and migration.

Features

  • Create staging copies: Clone a WordPress site to create a separate environment for testing updates, themes, and plugins without changing the live site.
  • Back up and restore: Create backups of site files and the database, then restore a site from a backup when needed.
  • Schedule backups: Set up scheduled backups or create them manually to maintain backup copies of a WordPress site.
  • Move sites between servers: Migrate a site to a new domain or server, with automated link replacement and database adjustments.
  • Push staging changes live: Transfer themes, plugins, and database updates from a staging site to its live production site.
  • Manage multisite networks: Clone and migrate WordPress multisite installations, including moving network sites and converting multisites to single sites.
  • Control staging access: Restrict who can view or work on a staging environment with user role permissions.
