00:00:00.180 --> 00:00:07.629
Make a copy (staging) of your live WordPress on
a subdomain, test changes, updates and themes

00:00:07.629 --> 00:00:10.913
safely, then push them live in one click.

00:00:11.263 --> 00:00:19.302
You need a server with WordPress in
/var/www/html. The staging subdomain (e.g.

00:00:19.302 --> 00:00:26.413
staging.mysite.com) must have a DNS A record
pointing to your server.

00:00:26.763 --> 00:00:33.163
Under "New staging" choose the WordPress server
and enter the staging subdomain.

00:00:33.513 --> 00:00:40.251
Click "Create staging". Files and database are
copied in 30–90 seconds and links are rewritten

00:00:40.251 --> 00:00:42.330
to the new URL automatically.

00:00:42.680 --> 00:00:47.830
Click "Open staging" and make your changes
there. Search engines do not see it.

00:00:48.180 --> 00:00:53.732
When everything is right, click "Push to
production". A snapshot of the live site is

00:00:53.732 --> 00:00:55.913
taken first, then it is replaced.

00:00:56.263 --> 00:01:01.469
Check the live site. If something went wrong,
roll back from the snapshots on the "Site

00:01:01.469 --> 00:01:02.247
deploy" page.

00:01:02.597 --> 00:01:07.830
Delete the staging when you no longer need it.
The live site is not affected.

00:01:08.180 --> 00:01:15.247
Live uploads (images) are not overwritten on
push, so files added in the meantime are kept.
