Staging New Site on same server prior to cutover

I’m running a production site that uses a different theme. I want to use the same server and site to build the pages and configure the theme prior to making it live. What’s the best process to use in order to do this?

Thanks,

Rhett

Hello,

You can create a staging install like so: http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-create-staging-environment-for-a-wordpress-site/
And after everything is set up properly, you can use a plugin (like ‘duplicator’) to move the install to the live site.

Thank you!

That’s perfect. I’ve never used duplicator. Will duplicator only replicate the theme changes?

Hello rmdail,

Yes! It is used for site migrating. Please check here -> https://www.shoutmeloud.com/migrate-wordpress-server.html

Thanks.
