• Debian 11 is approaching its end-of-life (vendor EOL date - August 31, 2026). Plesk Obsidian 18.0.80 will be the last release to support it.
    If you are running Plesk Obsidian on Debian 11, we recommend you upgrade those servers to Debian 12 using our dist-upgrade tool.
  • We plan to deprecate and remove the support for XML RPC protocol versions earlier than 1.6.9.1 in Plesk Obsidian 18.0.82. We strongly recommend that you update all existing integrations using earlier versions of the XML RPC protocol to comply with the version 1.6.9.1 specification.

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

New Pleskian
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
