WP STAGING | PRO brings WordPress backup, restore, staging, cloning and migration into one workflow for agencies, developers and businesses. Create a full backup or an exact site clone, or select a full-website, database-only or files-only backup. WooCommerce workflows include orders, products and customer data.

Stage and move site changes

Clone a production site into a subdirectory, custom directory or custom subdomain. A backup or staging copy can also be cloned to a separate database. Use staging to review plugin and theme updates, then push changes to production in one click, including extensions, themes and media files.

Set visitor roles for people accessing a clone or backup, such as clients or external developers. Login access and no-index handling are available for cloned and backup websites. Automatic search and replace updates links and paths during cloning, backup, restore and migration.

Schedule and restore backups

Create recurring backups by time and interval, configure retention, and assign custom backup names. You can download and upload backups for transfer, and receive email notifications if a backup cannot be created. Full and partial backups can be restored, including WordPress multisite backups.

Choose a custom backup folder or an external destination: Google Drive, Amazon S3, (S)FTP or Dropbox. These settings support cloud, offsite and remote backup workflows.

Migration and development

Migration tools move a WordPress site to another host, server or domain. Remote Sync lets you pull a site securely from one server to another using an API key. WP STAGING CLI can turn a WP STAGING backup into a local Docker-based development site.

Server and data handling

Background processing is intended to avoid slowing the live site. WP STAGING is designed for low-resource environments, including shared hosting, and supports Apache, Nginx, Microsoft IIS and LiteSpeed Server. Data stays on your server unless you choose a transfer or remote storage workflow. Extensive logging helps you review backup and staging activity.
