How can I create a WordPress staging website?
On this page:
Staging allows you to clone a live WordPress website on a staging server so you can make changes without affecting the live website.
A staging website is a copy of your website to test plugins, themes and everything else before making them live.
A WordPress staging website lives on your web hosting server and uses the same server configuration as your live website. Staging websites help you catch errors so you don’t end up breaking your live website.
Creating a WordPress Staging Website
To use the WordPress staging website:
- Reach your Web Hosting Control Panel
- Choose your website from the list
- Click [Log in to Control Panel]
- Select [WordPress Settings]
- Select [Staging]
- Select [Create Staging Site]
- Your complete website will then be cloned onto a staging subdomain, including files and database, i.e. staging.yourdomain.com. Cloning will take a few minutes to complete
- Once your site has cloned onto the staging subdomain, you will now have access to edit the staging site without having an impact on the live site
- To view the staging site, select [Visit Staging]
