Initiate the process during low-traffic times and have a developer available in case any issues arise. If you need the assistance of a developer, there are <a href="https://kinsta.com/blog/hire-wordpress-developer/" rel="noopener noreferrer">several places where you can hire one</a>.</li> <li><strong>We create a backup automatically</strong> so you can roll back as needed. Note: If your live site is an ecommerce or other dynamic and quickly-changing site, data could be lost between the time you push and when the backup is restored.</li> <li>Environment settings (redirects, geolocation, PHP and Nginx configuration, etc.) <strong>are included</strong> in the push (even if only <strong>Files</strong> or <strong>Database</strong> is selected) and will completely overwrite the environment’s settings.</li> <li>Once a push from staging to live is complete, purge any built-in cache in your theme or plugins, <a href="https://kinsta.com/knowledgebase/how-to-clear-browser-cache/">clear your browser’s cache</a>, and test your site to make sure it’s working as expected.</li> <li>When pushing your database, if you check the <strong>Run Search & Replace</strong> option, the domain will automatically be replaced with the domain for the environment you are pushing to.</li> <li>Selecting <strong>All files and folders</strong> will push all files, including plugins, themes, and files inside <strong>wp-content/uploads</strong>.</li> <li>Any hard-coded URLs in your theme or plugin code will need to be updated to the environment’s URL.</li> <li>If password protection (<a href="https://kinsta.com/docs/wordpress-hosting/mykinsta-tools/htpasswd/">.htpasswd</a>) is active on the environment you are pushing from, it will not be applied to the environment you are pushing to. You must enable it in the environment after the push.</li> <li><span>When you use <a href="https://kinsta.com/blog/woocommerce-tutorial">WooCommerce</a>, MyKinsta does not differentiate between new customer orders and older ones when you push staging to live. When you initiate a push to live, if you push all files and folders MyKinsta copies over your staging site to the live site exactly as it is while overwriting files and the database. To work around this, you can either:</span> <ul> <li><a href="#push-an-environment-with-a-selective-push">Push staging to live with a selective push</a> and only push files so your database is not overwritten.</li> <li>Selectively push database tables and exclude the required WooCommerce tables.</li> <li>Push the database files from live to staging before you push staging to live to ensure you have the most up-to-date data.</li> </ul> <p>For information about what is included in each WooCommerce database table, refer to the <a href="https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce/wiki/Database-Description" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">WooCommerce Database Description</a>. You will want to discuss this task with your web developer. If you do not have one or aren’t sure, please check out our article on <a href="https://kinsta.com/blog/hire-wordpress-developer/">how to hire a WordPress developer</a>.</p></li> <li>When pushing staging to live, double-check the staging site and resolve any errors before pushing to live.</li> <li>Staging environments are intended for development and testing only. They are not designed to be used as live production sites, and there may be things that don’t function as expected. Kinsta is not responsible if you try to use a staging environment for a live site.</li> <li>Pushing an environment doesn’t affect the environment you are pushing from, and it will remain separate from the other environments. After pushing a staging site to live, you can continue developing and testing changes in staging without affecting your live site until you push the changes to live again.</li> <li>Pushing from staging to live will not interfere with <a href="https://kinsta.com/docs/wordpress-hosting/wordpress-cdn/kinsta-cdn/">Kinsta’s CDN</a> if it is running on your live site, but we do recommend clearing the CDN cache after the push (<strong>WordPress</strong> <strong>Sites</strong> > <em><strong>sitename</strong></em> > <strong>Caching</strong> > <strong>CDN</strong> > <strong>Clear CDN cache</strong>).</li> <li>Push from staging to live with caution if your site is a multisite network. Pushing the database may or may not work, <a href="#q-how-does-selective-push-work-with-a-multisite-network">depending on how the multisite is set up</a>. If you do use selective push and push <strong>All database tables</strong> or <strong>All database tables</strong> and <strong>All files and folders</strong>, the entire database content will be pushed to live and will affect all sites (the main site and subsites) in your multisite network.</li> <li>If you use a non-standard WordPress setup, such as Bedrock or Trellis, Kinsta may not be able to locate the <code>DB_PASSWORD</code> variable and, therefore, is unable to update the database password when you push the staging environment to live. To resolve this, you can use the <code>SERVER_SECRET_DB_PASSWORD</code> <a href="https://kinsta.com/docs/wordpress-hosting/php/#php-constants">PHP constant</a> to store your database password.</li> </ul> <h3 id="push-an-environment-with-a-selective-push" class="Heading_root__6SfRo"><span class="Heading_anchor__JwDnI"><button class="spectra-Button-root Heading_anchorButton__kxDvK Button_root__8us2L" type="button" aria-label="Copy link to this section" data-size="xs" data-variant="tertiary"><svg aria-hidden="true" class="spectra-Link-icon spectra-icon" fill="none" height="24" viewBox="0 0 24 24" width="24" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><path d="M20.492 10.786a5.143 5.143 0 0 0 0-7.277C19.492 2.5 18.172 2 16.852 2c-.17 0-.33.01-.49.02-.331.04-.661.1-.981.19-.8.24-1.54.67-2.17 1.3L11.7 5.017l-.06.059q-.06.054-.11.111l-1.01 1.01s-.01.02-.02.03c.11-.02.23-.02.34-.02.67 0 1.32.09 1.94.28q.162-.165.308-.31c.734-.741 1.143-1.154 1.373-1.42l.02.02c.66-.65 1.51-.979 2.37-.979s1.72.33 2.37.98a3.365 3.365 0 0 1 0 4.737l-3.69 3.688c-.24.25-.52.45-.81.6-.19.1-.4.18-.6.24l-.023.008q-.026.011-.048.012c-.29.08-.59.12-.89.12-.35 0-.7-.05-1.03-.16-.18-.06-.36-.13-.53-.22-.29-.15-.57-.35-.81-.6-.39-.39-.66-.85-.81-1.339-.09.05-.17.12-.24.19q-.324.33-.613.617-.29.288-.538.542c.24.45.55.88.93 1.26s.81.69 1.26.93c.63.33 1.301.509 1.991.559.13.02.26.02.39.02.79 0 1.57-.18 2.29-.54.491-.24.951-.56 1.351-.97z" fill="currentColor"></path><path d="m15.407 10.789.004-.003v.01zM15.407 10.789a5.2 5.2 0 0 0-2.187-2.192c-.62-.32-1.29-.51-2-.56-.12-.02-.25-.02-.38-.02-.81 0-1.59.19-2.29.54-.491.24-.951.57-1.351.97l-3.691 3.687a5.143 5.143 0 0 0 0 7.277c1 1.01 2.32 1.509 3.64 1.509s2.641-.5 3.642-1.51c1.12-1.119 2.07-2.068 2.72-2.708h-.35c-.66 0-1.31-.09-1.93-.28l-1.71 1.71c-.65.659-1.511.979-2.371.979s-1.71-.32-2.37-.98a3.365 3.365 0 0 1 0-4.737c.04-.04.85-.85 1.72-1.71.56-.57 1.14-1.149 1.53-1.529.27-.28.44-.45.44-.45.41-.41.92-.71 1.48-.859.28-.08.58-.12.89-.12.36 0 .71.06 1.041.16.5.17.95.44 1.33.82.39.39.66.85.81 1.339a2 2 0 0 0 .24-.19z" fill="currentColor"></path></svg></button></span>Push an environment with a selective push</h3> <p>Follow the steps below to push your environment to another environment.

Page cache settings for staging sites</h3> <p>Because staging environments are for development purposes, <a rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://kinsta.com/docs/wordpress-hosting/wordpress-troubleshooting/wordpress-debugging/">debugging</a>, and testing, Kinsta’s full-page caching and OPcache are disabled by default. If you run website speed tests, you will see higher-than-average load times since the pages aren’t being served from the cache. If you want to enable caching on a staging site within the staging environment, click <strong>Caching</strong> > <strong>Server Caching</strong> > <b>Enable</b>. When caching is enabled on a staging site, <strong>Clear cache</strong> will be enabled and can be used to clear the cache. If you have a Premium staging environment, you can also enable <a href="https://kinsta.com/docs/wordpress-hosting/wordpress-cdn/kinsta-cdn/">CDN</a> and <a href="https://kinsta.com/docs/application-hosting/application-edge-caching/">edge caching</a>.</p> <figure aria-describedby="caption-attachment-182427"><img alt="Enable caching for a staging environment." loading="lazy" width="1293" height="443" decoding="async" data-nimg="1" class="wp-image-182427 size-full" style="color:transparent" srcSet="/_next/image/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fkinsta.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2023%2F11%2Fwordpress-staging-caching.png&w=1920&q=75 1x, /_next/image/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fkinsta.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2023%2F11%2Fwordpress-staging-caching.png&w=3840&q=75 2x" src="/_next/image/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fkinsta.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2023%2F11%2Fwordpress-staging-caching.png&w=3840&q=75"/><figcaption id="caption-attachment-182427">Enable caching for a staging environment.</figcaption></figure> <h3 id="2-staging-environment-credentials" class="Heading_root__6SfRo"><span class="Heading_anchor__JwDnI"><button class="spectra-Button-root Heading_anchorButton__kxDvK Button_root__8us2L" type="button" aria-label="Copy link to this section" data-size="xs" data-variant="tertiary"><svg aria-hidden="true" class="spectra-Link-icon spectra-icon" fill="none" height="24" viewBox="0 0 24 24" width="24" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><path d="M20.492 10.786a5.143 5.143 0 0 0 0-7.277C19.492 2.5 18.172 2 16.852 2c-.17 0-.33.01-.49.02-.331.04-.661.1-.981.19-.8.24-1.54.67-2.17 1.3L11.7 5.017l-.06.059q-.06.054-.11.111l-1.01 1.01s-.01.02-.02.03c.11-.02.23-.02.34-.02.67 0 1.32.09 1.94.28q.162-.165.308-.31c.734-.741 1.143-1.154 1.373-1.42l.02.02c.66-.65 1.51-.979 2.37-.979s1.72.33 2.37.98a3.365 3.365 0 0 1 0 4.737l-3.69 3.688c-.24.25-.52.45-.81.6-.19.1-.4.18-.6.24l-.023.008q-.026.011-.048.012c-.29.08-.59.12-.89.12-.35 0-.7-.05-1.03-.16-.18-.06-.36-.13-.53-.22-.29-.15-.57-.35-.81-.6-.39-.39-.66-.85-.81-1.339-.09.05-.17.12-.24.19q-.324.33-.613.617-.29.288-.538.542c.24.45.55.88.93 1.26s.81.69 1.26.93c.63.33 1.301.509 1.991.559.13.02.26.02.39.02.79 0 1.57-.18 2.29-.54.491-.24.951-.56 1.351-.97z" fill="currentColor"></path><path d="m15.407 10.789.004-.003v.01zM15.407 10.789a5.2 5.2 0 0 0-2.187-2.192c-.62-.32-1.29-.51-2-.56-.12-.02-.25-.02-.38-.02-.81 0-1.59.19-2.29.54-.491.24-.951.57-1.351.97l-3.691 3.687a5.143 5.143 0 0 0 0 7.277c1 1.01 2.32 1.509 3.64 1.509s2.641-.5 3.642-1.51c1.12-1.119 2.07-2.068 2.72-2.708h-.35c-.66 0-1.31-.09-1.93-.28l-1.71 1.71c-.65.659-1.511.979-2.371.979s-1.71-.32-2.37-.98a3.365 3.365 0 0 1 0-4.737c.04-.04.85-.85 1.72-1.71.56-.57 1.14-1.149 1.53-1.529.27-.28.44-.45.44-.45.41-.41.92-.71 1.48-.859.28-.08.58-.12.89-.12.36 0 .71.06 1.041.16.5.17.95.44 1.33.82.39.39.66.85.81 1.339a2 2 0 0 0 .24-.19z" fill="currentColor"></path></svg></button></span>2.

Plugins</h3> <p>If you use social scheduling plugins such as CoSchedule or Social Networks Auto Poster, it is recommended that you deactivate these plugins on your staging site. Otherwise, they might start sharing to social networks using your staging URL, which will look something like: <strong>https://stg-sitename-environmentname.kinsta.cloud</strong>. This could then skew your analytics.</p> <p>Some plugins, like the <a href="https://kinsta.com/knowledgebase/wordpress-jetpack/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Jetpack plugin</a>, will automatically run in <a href="https://jetpack.com/support/staging-sites/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">staging mode</a> on Kinsta staging environments. You will see a message: “You are running Jetpack on a staging server.” While in staging mode, your staging site will act like your production site in virtually all ways, except no data is passed up to WordPress.com, and you cannot disconnect the staging site (to prevent an issue that would lead to problems with your production site).</p> <p>Plugins licensed by domain name may require a custom domain (instead of a Kinsta staging subdomain) to work properly. Note: once you’ve <a href="https://kinsta.com/docs/wordpress-hosting/wordpress-domains/">added a custom domain name</a> to your staging site, you may need to update the settings where you manage your plugin license or contact your plugin’s support team.</p> <h3 id="5-make-note-of-your-login-url" class="Heading_root__6SfRo"><span class="Heading_anchor__JwDnI"><button class="spectra-Button-root Heading_anchorButton__kxDvK Button_root__8us2L" type="button" aria-label="Copy link to this section" data-size="xs" data-variant="tertiary"><svg aria-hidden="true" class="spectra-Link-icon spectra-icon" fill="none" height="24" viewBox="0 0 24 24" width="24" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><path d="M20.492 10.786a5.143 5.143 0 0 0 0-7.277C19.492 2.5 18.172 2 16.852 2c-.17 0-.33.01-.49.02-.331.04-.661.1-.981.19-.8.24-1.54.67-2.17 1.3L11.7 5.017l-.06.059q-.06.054-.11.111l-1.01 1.01s-.01.02-.02.03c.11-.02.23-.02.34-.02.67 0 1.32.09 1.94.28q.162-.165.308-.31c.734-.741 1.143-1.154 1.373-1.42l.02.02c.66-.65 1.51-.979 2.37-.979s1.72.33 2.37.98a3.365 3.365 0 0 1 0 4.737l-3.69 3.688c-.24.25-.52.45-.81.6-.19.1-.4.18-.6.24l-.023.008q-.026.011-.048.012c-.29.08-.59.12-.89.12-.35 0-.7-.05-1.03-.16-.18-.06-.36-.13-.53-.22-.29-.15-.57-.35-.81-.6-.39-.39-.66-.85-.81-1.339-.09.05-.17.12-.24.19q-.324.33-.613.617-.29.288-.538.542c.24.45.55.88.93 1.26s.81.69 1.26.93c.63.33 1.301.509 1.991.559.13.02.26.02.39.02.79 0 1.57-.18 2.29-.54.491-.24.951-.56 1.351-.97z" fill="currentColor"></path><path d="m15.407 10.789.004-.003v.01zM15.407 10.789a5.2 5.2 0 0 0-2.187-2.192c-.62-.32-1.29-.51-2-.56-.12-.02-.25-.02-.38-.02-.81 0-1.59.19-2.29.54-.491.24-.951.57-1.351.97l-3.691 3.687a5.143 5.143 0 0 0 0 7.277c1 1.01 2.32 1.509 3.64 1.509s2.641-.5 3.642-1.51c1.12-1.119 2.07-2.068 2.72-2.708h-.35c-.66 0-1.31-.09-1.93-.28l-1.71 1.71c-.65.659-1.511.979-2.371.979s-1.71-.32-2.37-.98a3.365 3.365 0 0 1 0-4.737c.04-.04.85-.85 1.72-1.71.56-.57 1.14-1.149 1.53-1.529.27-.28.44-.45.44-.45.41-.41.92-.71 1.48-.859.28-.08.58-.12.89-.12.36 0 .71.06 1.041.16.5.17.95.44 1.33.82.39.39.66.85.81 1.339a2 2 0 0 0 .24-.19z" fill="currentColor"></path></svg></button></span>5.

Multisite</h3> <p>If you’re running a WordPress multisite network, it may or may not work with our staging environment, depending on how your <a href="https://kinsta.com/blog/wordpress-multisite/">multisite</a> is set up.</p> <ul> <li>If it’s a subdirectory multisite (example.com, example.com/subsite1, example.com/subsite2), it will work fine with our staging environment.</li> <li>If it’s a subdomain multisite (example.com, subsite1.example.com, subsite2.example.com), it will work fine, provided the subsites don’t require HTTPS. <ul class="is-style-circle mb--0"> <li>If it’s a subdomain multisite that requires HTTPS, you’ll need to <a href="https://kinsta.com/docs/wordpress-hosting/wordpress-domains/">add a custom domain with a wildcard SSL certificate</a> to your staging site so the subdomains can be covered by an SSL certificate. This is because the SSL certificate provided for the default staging URL can only cover the staging subdomain (e.g. stg-sitename-environmentname.kinsta.cloud), so any additional subdomain level (e.g. subsite.stg-sitename-environmentname.kinsta.cloud) cannot be covered.</li> </ul> </li> <li>If it’s a domain-mapped multisite (loads different subsites at completely different domains, e.g. example.com, example1.com, example2.com), it won’t work without significant manual setup. <ul class="is-style-circle"> <li><strong>Option 1:</strong> Turn off domain mapping and go back to the <a href="https://kinsta.com/blog/wordpress-subdomain/">standard subdirectory/subdomain setup</a>.

If you push just the database or the database and files, it may or may not work, depending on how your <a href="https://kinsta.com/blog/wordpress-multisite/">multisite</a> is set up:</p> <ul> <li>If it’s a subdirectory multisite (example.com, example.com/subsite1, example.com/subsite2), push to live will work as expected.</li> <li>If it’s a subdomain multisite (example.com, subsite1.example.com, subsite2.example.com), it will work fine, provided the subsites don’t require HTTPS.</li> <li>If it’s a domain-mapped multisite (loads different subsites at completely different domains, e.g., example.com, example1.com, example2.com), it won’t work without significant manual setup. <ul> <li><strong>Option 1:</strong> Turn off domain mapping and go back to the <a href="https://kinsta.com/blog/wordpress-subdomain/">standard subdirectory/subdomain setup</a>. Do a <a href="https://kinsta.com/docs/wordpress-hosting/mykinsta-tools/mykinsta-search-replace-tool/">search and replace</a> in the database manually.</li> <li><strong>Option 2:</strong> Set up staging subdomains for each live domain, add all those to the staging site, and run a <a href="https://kinsta.com/docs/wordpress-hosting/mykinsta-tools/mykinsta-search-replace-tool/">search and replace</a> in the database manually to update each domain after pushing staging to live.</li> </ul> </li> </ul> <p> </p> </div><footer class="DocsSinglePost_footer__00T7H"><div
