Overview

WP STAGING is a comprehensive WordPress plugin designed for seamless backup, staging, cloning, and migration of WordPress sites. It offers users the capability to create exact copies and backups of their websites in a matter of seconds, ensuring that all database entries and files are included. WP STAGING is ideal for testing, development, and ensuring website stability when installing new plugins or updates. The free version allows users to clone their production site into a subdirectory with high performance and minimal resource consumption, while the professional version (WP STAGING | PRO) provides enhanced features such as multisite support, migration to a new host or domain, scheduled backups, and backup transfers to various cloud storage providers like Google Drive and Amazon S3. This plugin ensures that all operations are performed efficiently in the background, making it a robust solution for maintaining website integrity and minimizing downtime.

High Performance and Efficiency

  • Backup and clone an entire website, even with millions of database rows faster and less resource-intensive than with other plugins.
  • Runs the backup in the background very efficiently without slowing down your website.
  • No server timeouts on huge websites or small and weak servers.
  • Migration and clone/backup process takes only a few seconds or minutes, depending on the website’s size and server I/O power.

Ease of Use

  • Create a clone/backup site by clicking one button.
  • No account needed! All your data stays on your server.
  • Only administrators can access the clone/backup website.
  • The admin bar on the staging/backup website is orange colored and shows when you work on the staging site.

Comprehensive Backup and Staging Features

  • Clones the entire production site into a subdirectory like example.com/staging-site.
  • Backup schedule: Create an automatic daily backup plan.
  • Use the clone as part of your backup strategy.
  • SEO friendly: The clone website is unavailable to search engines due to a custom login prompt and the meta tag no-index.

Advanced Pro Features

  • Migrate and transfer WordPress to another host or domain.
  • Push staging website including all plugins, themes, and media files to the production website with one click.
  • Backup to Google Drive, Amazon S3, (s)FTP, and Dropbox.
  • Multisite Support: Migrate, backup, and clone WordPress multisites.

User sentiment analysis

Users appreciate the WP Staging plugin for its ease of use, quick setup, and efficient performance in creating backup and staging environments. It allows users to test changes on a staged version of their sites without risking the live site, ensuring updates like plugins or themes work correctly. The support team receives high praise for being responsive, knowledgeable, and going above and beyond to assist users. However, several drawbacks are highlighted. First, advanced features necessary for site migration are locked behind a paywall in the Pro version, causing frustration for users who expect these in the free version. Some users also encountered misleading compatibility messages and slow responses due to time zone differences. Finally, there were isolated reports of poor initial customer service experiences and a detection issue by GoDaddy marking the plugin as a virus.

I like knowing I have an exact replica of my site for testing new plugins or updating existing ones… which has occasionally resulted in the WordPress White Screen of Death… or when I need to test changes to config files on the server, or tweaks to the database. WP Staging allows me to work CONFIDENTLY. Also, if it came to it, I could recover my site relatively easily if something major happened. Sometimes, I see web hosts that offer staging sites, but I’m not sure why I’d need that with this plugin.
