WordPress Clone and Restore
Clone your WordPress site to a staging copy, test changes there and push them live when ready.
Birtikta creates a WordPress staging copy of your site from one of its backups, on its own address under sitenihazirla.com. Test plugin updates, theme changes or new code there, and when everything works, push the changes to the live site with or without the database. You can also start a staging environment with a blank WordPress for new projects, and pull fresh data from the live site whenever you need it.
Clone a site from its backup, or start blank
Pick a site and one of its completed backups, and Birtikta builds a staging copy from it using the same PHP version as the live site. For a new project, choose Blank WordPress and start with a fresh installation instead.
Push to live when you are ready
When the staging copy looks right, send it to the live site. Files Only moves themes, plugins and media and leaves the live database alone. Include Database also brings posts, pages and settings. Pushing overwrites the live site, so take a backup first.
Everything a WordPress staging site needs
Sync from live
Rebuild the staging copy from a newer backup of the live site so you test against current content.
Reset WordPress
Start over: a blank staging gets a fresh WordPress, a cloned one gets its latest backup restored.
Admin access
Change the WordPress admin password of a staging site and open it straight from the panel.
Pause or delete
Suspend a staging site you are not using, or delete it when the work is done.
Built on your backups
Staging copies come from the same backups you already keep for each site.
WordPress backupTest updates safely
Try pending plugin and theme updates on the copy before running them on the live site.
Plugin updatesGood to know
How many staging environments you can run depends on your plan. Syncing replaces the staging copy with the live site's backup rather than merging changes, and pushing to live replaces the live files, so keep a fresh backup before either step. Custom stage names are available on the Enterprise plan; on other plans a unique name is generated for you.
Frequently Asked Questions
Choose a site and one of its completed backups. Birtikta builds the staging environment from that backup, using the live site's PHP version, and gives it its own address under sitenihazirla.com. You can also start from a blank WordPress installation.
No. The staging copy runs separately on its own address. Nothing changes on the live site until you push to live.
You choose Files Only, which moves themes, plugins and media, or Include Database, which also transfers posts, pages and settings. The live site is overwritten with the staging data, so we recommend taking a backup first.
Use Sync and pick a newer backup of the live site. The staging copy is rebuilt from that backup.
Yes. Turn on browser password protection and visitors must enter a username and password before the staging site opens.
