📰📰 Video Description 📰📰
Have you ever wanted to implement a design change on your website, or install a plugin on your website, but worry that it might break your website?
Or, you're facing an issue on your website, and you want someone to look at it and make changes, but don't want it affecting the people visiting your website. Well, there is a solution to these problems. It's called a "Staging Website".

Do note that the methods we show in this video work only for your website, and you will not be able to copy anyone else's website with this method. The method is easy, quick, and free. Feel free to send us any questions via the comments.

Excellent video. Clear explanation and no unnecessary content or bloat. Thanks! :)
Is there a video to show how to get updates on the staging site moved over the the live site?
This plugin could be very useful. Thank you for covering it.
You're welcome! :)
Thank you so much. The last part of the video about sharing your password was my issue throughout the whole video lol.
Glad I could help!
Thank-you for the video. It makes learning easy and fun! I would like to learn how to add a specific code to exclude the above the fold LCP image from lazy loading.
In order to exclude images from lazy loading, please add their CSS classes to the exclusion list.
Great video thank you! To avoid buying the pro version...do you know if you could potentially migrate the staging site to the live site by using another plugin like All-In-One Migration?
Did you ever find this out?
@@SweetSuccessDiaries
Sorry I missed your message. Honestly, I can't remember the exact details of what I did to figure it out. I remember I did try using plugins like All in One Migration and WP Staging, but ran into issues on both accounts. One left me slightly paralyzed. Thes site wouldn't load and access to the website in bluehost was non-existent. I ended up learning how to move files manually inside of bluehost's file manager to finally fix it. It was not fun (because of the site being down), but it was a lesson in figuring out the file structure rather than relying on a plugin.
These plugins and hosting plans are designed to force you into upcharges so trying to avoid payments can lead to these types of problems. I think the best advice to give is to keep backups through every step. If you can't risk any site down time then just pay for the upcharge. Or google around for how/ where to move the files. It's honestly not that hard too, but scary when the site goes down. Side note....Bluehost was also supposed to have a staging capability in their hosting. I did try this initially, but it just did not work at all. Not sure why. It definitely was advertised to work. Regardless, I hope you found an answer for your issue a month ago. Best of luck!
I don't have room on my hosting plan. I want the staging site on my own computer... Can I direct the cloned site to save onto a hardrive of my own?
thank you bro
Pleasure!
Please there is something I didn't get clear on the last statement, concerning changing password before giving it to support, if I change my main site password it wouldn't change the staging site password.
Good and helpful
Glad to hear that
wat keyboard r using?
how does it know where to create a new database? or does it use your existing db
How do you switch your staging site to your new website once you know everything works how you want it?
is there an updated version of this?
If you make changes to your staging site.. let's say you want to see if a plugin causes conflicts.... and everything looks ok... do you need to re-do the installation on your main site, or does WP STAGING have a push to main site function?
Yes, you can push updates/modifications to the production site using WP Staging.
thank you. but , how can we deal with the URLs and links? my urls and permalinks have been broken on the way,while returning to the live website.
That's strange. This should not affect your existing website at all.
I can't understand the last part of the plz explain the last part of this video
wish i could use it but it says not supported ..
Would it be possible to update plugins and activate new ones in the staging website?
Yes, it is possible.
HELPP !!! first of all, thank you for your help, I've done my staging sites and it worked great. Then I wanted to import everything I've done on staging site to my original site. I've used updraft plugin to export and import. But when I imported database of staging site to original site, original site has turned into staging with stagings' domain. Now I cant find my original site, It is missing. Please Help me. How can I solve this issue. It's like sites are in limbo.
Ersin, that wasn't the right approach. You should have re-created your steps on the main website instead. I'd recommend restoring from a backup is your best bet right now.
I want to practice a whole new starter template, do I use the clone website I already created or do I create a whole new practice website. I guess what I am trying to say is can I have more than one practice site.
You can create as many staging sites as you like, all available from the same domain, such as domain.com/staging1, domain.com/staging2 and so on.
@@BrainstormForce How do I update my practice site if I do not have pro? As I have added new posts, for example and want my practice site to be exactly as my live site. Do I just delete the practice site and start over?
is this like backing up your website?
Hello there,
Backups are usually created by your hosting to recover in cases where your content is lost. While Staging site is a replica of your live environment that helps update and test new changes in plugins, themes, or core WordPress before updating them on the Live environment.
Hope that clarifies. :)
You forgot to show how you erase the staging site once you are done with it.
Excellent suggestion Romeo. We'll see if we can update this video, else we'll release an update version soon.
And you forgot how to export changes on staging site back to your real website
@@BrainstormForce please show how to delete them after practicing, also advise will that be crawl by Google? If yes how to block Google from being indexing or crawling staging links
@@BrainstormForce Is there an update for the video? Best...
how to get rid of a page when I don't want it anymore, the copied one
You could waste a lot of time setting up a staging version if there's not enough room on your server like I did!
This plugin is created by people who don't seem to be able to speak English correctly. I wish I hadn't used it
they say they are from Germany but I very highly doubt that.
