A life saver to keep clients sites in sync

rtpHarry

Just asking your clients to hold-off from updates is not a reliable method to keep your site safe from sync issues. Clients that lose their posts are unhappy clients.

Sometimes you have more than one staff member involved, or it will take multiple days to implement a new feature so keeping track of this reliably is hard.

Clients are unreliable – this plugin is not. It is firmly in my list of favourite plugins!
