Setting up a staging site feels like preparing for a space mission - only without the clear skies and cheering crowds. It’s frustrating, time consuming, and works like expected only about half the time.
So, if you’re like most WordPress developers, *you skip it* - opting for crossing your fingers and making changes to the live site instead.
It’s hardly professional, but it’s often the more practical option with as much as you have on your plate.
But if someone could promise both efficiency and precision, we all agree that staging would be a no-brainer, right? In an ideal world, the process might look something like this:
⚡ You pull a staging copy of your site in a blink.
🔴 Activate sync, and every tweak - big or small - is tracked.
🛠 Freely experiment and enhance your staging site.
🔄 Push only those changes back to your live site in a flash.
A workflow like this would mean you could safely make changes to complex eCommerce, membership, and LMS sites without losing sales, customer data, or your sanity.
Believe it or not, this workflow isn’t a pipe dream - it’s taken directly from InstaWP’s 2-way sync staging solution!
And on May 3rd, we're not just talking about it; we're demonstrating it live!

I’m 15 minutes in and this looks like the holy grail of staging. Very exciting!
This is a great idea that solves the staging pain for many developers. However, I see a big security backdoor in this practice. Imagine you giving staging to a developer who keeps pushing spam and ghost posts to the live sites without even alerting the owner! And there can be multiple scenarios like this. I believe there should be an approval stage on the live site as well, where all the pushed events are pending approval from the live website's administrator. Any thoughts?
Good one Kyle. I had the exact Staging dilemma the other day on a Woo site and needed this exact solution.
Congrats on a slick live stream. Hopefully nobody spent $3K in your store mistakenly! 😂
A very good work!
Cool idea saving a ‘replay/recording’ of the steps as opposed to writing to the database.
I also hate staging. 99% of the time I develop locally and simply use All-in-One WP Migration plugin to create a backup file once finished. Then with an out of the box bare bones WordPress site, I install the same plugin and import the back up I made. All local URL’s are automatically replaced with those of the live site so the only thing you have to do is save your permalinks. Easy 😉
