  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.
  • The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.

Help with cloning live to development, making theme changes and then copying development to live

Hi,

I have successfully used WP Toolkit to clone a live transactional Wordpress/Woocommerce installation to a subdomain to act as a staging site on the same server.

The plan is to make changes to the theme/page builder software to then rebuild the site on a predominantly aesthetic level. Once happy, I would hope to move/copy the subdomain's changes to the live site but retain the newer live site's data.

What is the best way of acheiving this using WP Toolkit?

I know you can be selective in what you can copy from one site to another using WP Toolkit i.e. files/databases/tables. However, if I am working on the staging site, couldn't some changes be made to the database tables meaning I can't literally overwrite the staging site with a final synch of the live MySQL data to then clone the staging installation back over the live site?

Thanks

Dan
