Simplify Migration to Staging/Test

4 Replies

I find your cloning/migration process very convoluted in order to set up a simple test area to try out a few new ideas before implementing them on my production site.  It entails a whole process of creating new folders, installing WordPress, installing and re-installing Updraft, copying keys across, etc.

Whilst I acknowledge this is necessary in several cases, I find it over the top when I need to just quickly try a few ideas before putting into production.

Can you please consider implementing something simple like the WP Staging plugin?

Thanks.

    Hi Len,

    Good news: such a project is already at an advanced stage! You’re correct that the current staging/migration capability in UD isn’t great if you just want a temporary copy of your site to test something on. It was more intended for people creating a one-off permanent copy. And hence, we’ve been working on something that fits your use case.

      Hello guys,

      1.- Do you have a estimate time to launch this feature? I’m about to buy a staging plugin.
      2.- This feature is going to be included in UpdraftPremium ?

      Thanls

        Hi faor1987,

        1. It won’t be in the next release (which is likely to be next week), but hopefully in the one after that.

        2. Since creating a clone of your website on managed/hosted infrastructure isn’t just a software function, credits for using the feature will be a separate purchase. But it’s likely (details not yet decided) that purchases of UpdraftPlus Premium will include at least some credits to allow people to experience the feature.
