Prevent Breaking Your Live Website with Our Staging Feature
The staging environment is a copy of your production website where you can preview any changes or upgrades before you apply them on your production website. This prevents any downtime or unexpected errors on your live website.
Why Risk your production website when you can play safe with our Staging tool!
Our new Staging feature will help you create and manage staging copies with one just click.
You can create staging copy of your live website to test the upgrades, install plugins, themes, add new pages or any other changes to make sure you are satisfied with the changes before pushing it to the live installation.
Softaculous lets you maintain Staging as well as Production website simultaneously for any changes you would want to make in future.
In this process, we will create a Staging copy of a live WordPress installation in a sub-directory “staging”.
1) Login to your control panel
2) Choose the installation for which you want to create a Staging copy
The create Staging page will appear with the live installation details and a form asking for details about the staging copy you want to create.
3) Fill in the Staging Installation details as shown in the screenshot below
That’s it! Your staging copy is ready. You can login to the WordPress admin panel with the same credentials as in the live installation.

The Push to Live page will appear asking for details about how you want to merge the changes i.e. you want to just update the files or update the database as well.
