With the MainWP Staging Extension, you can create and manage Staging sites for your child sites directly from your MainWP Dashboard. BETA RELEASE! MainWP Staging Extension is extensively tested by MainWP team, however, it’s still work in progress.

What are Staging Sites and Why Do You Need Them?

Staging Sites are sites that duplicate your Production Sites (same hardware, same software, same settings) so that any change can be tested and evaluated before being placed into production. In other words, it’s a complete but independent copy of your production site, including the database. Staging sites can be used while building a new website, but it can come handy when you need to update or improve an existing site. By working in a staging environment, you ensure that the experience of your visitors isn’t disturbed as you make edits. Your production site will continue to work normally until you decide to push changes live. With the MainWP Staging Extension, you will be able to test and evaluate any change on a staging site before making any update on your production site. MainWP Dashboard automatically connects newly created staging sites so you can use staging sites as normal child sites and perform any action on them. Once you are sure that everything works as expected, you can go ahead and apply the same changes to your live sites.
