Hi there,

I’m revamping my site. I set up a slickstack server with https://2025.mysite.com and realised half-way through design/development that there was a staging function.

What’s the recommended approach for go live once dev is complete and replace my live site https://www.mysite.com? ie to minimise risk of data loss and minimise disruption.

I’m thinking:
1. export staging site with AIO WP Migration
2. spin up a fresh wp install with the final URL
3. point prod URL to blank server IP in Cloudflare
4. import data into fresh install with AIO WP Migration and update URLs as needed.

the issue is the disruption… but this allows both staging site and old live site to remain 100% safe during transfer.

Hey please check out ss push dev command:

ss push development

This will overwrite your dev site to the prod site (assuming you have both setup on the same SlickStack server). Be sure to backup both sites first before running this, which means actually exporting your data locally in case of any data loss.

This should also work fine 🙂
