Feature Request: Publishing

[PhilParticipant]

When working on a development site it’s kind of a pain to back it up and restore it on a production site. A “publish” feature would be very cool that further automates the backup/restore process. Maybe have an option for per page (including elements) or site-wide. Feedback is welcomed. :)

Hi Phil,

This sort of thing? https://updraftplus.com/sending-data-directly-from-site-to-site-upcoming-feature/

Exactly David!

The only thing I’d request in addition to what you’re planning is also the ability to it per page (and elements on that page) so the whole site doesn’t need to be published. This on the edit page by the existing “Publish” options on the top right would be very cool.

It would save a lot of resources and time to only publish a single page than a site with hundreds of pages, elements, etc.

With the upcoming feature, is there a way to “sync” the production site to the development site during some sort of setup? Again, the existing backup (on a live site) and restore (on a development site) features do the job but it would make it that much more automated.

Hi Phil,

UpdraftPlus doesn’t have, and isn’t ever likely to have, features that work at the post or page level. It’s focussed upon backing up, restoring and cloning entire WP installations, and everything internally is geared towards that. The best way to export things at the post/page level, is to use the Tools->Export/Tools->Import menus that are part of WordPress.

Best wishes,
David
