Create a staging copy from production. 2. Migrate a development or local WordPress backup into staging when the work starts outside production. 3. Review updates, design changes, plugin changes, or content edits on staging. 4. Keep backups available before important work. 5. Use release previews to understand what would change, then publish reviewed staging changes when ready. The plugin runs without an account or remote service. It handles production-to-staging sync, development-to-staging migration, backups, scheduled backups, imports, dry- runs, staging-to-production publishing, and safety checks.

When you need more control, Advanced mode lets an administrator review smaller scopes and publish them after explicit confirmations: * File change previews and file release operations. * Database table previews and table release operations. * Plugin, core, and full-site release presets. * High-risk table warnings. * Operation locks for long-running jobs. Release actions are previews by default. Live production releases require a backup confirmation, a confirmation checkbox, and a typed phrase. #### Difference review and merge choices Before a GET refresh or production publishing workflow overwrites a target, the plugin can show changed posts, pages, media items, and custom post types that need review. Administrators can cancel the operation, continue with the source version, or preserve selected target content items where the workflow supports it. The review groups related custom fields, terms, and comments into the affected content item so the choice stays understandable. Full-table and plugin-specific data can still be broad in scope, so keep backups available before release work. #### Backups Backups are included in the plugin. You can create a complete backup before important work, import a previous backup, restore from backup data, move a development or local backup into staging, download exports, protect important backups from retention cleanup, and configure scheduled backups. This does not replace host-level or off-server backups. Keep host backups available before important releases. ### Privacy Easy Staging Migration by Gami stores plugin settings, operation history, and managed backup metadata locally in WordPress. Managed backups are stored on the server and can contain site files and database tables selected by an administrator. Support reports are not sent by default. When an administrator sends a report or enables automatic error reports, safe diagnostics can be sent to the configured support recipient. The plugin is designed to exclude secrets and table contents from those diagnostics. ## Screenshots [⌊Get: create or refresh a protected staging site from production, or import a development backup into staging.⌉⌊Get: create or refresh a protected staging site from production, or import a development backup into staging.⌉[ Get: create or refresh a protected staging site from production, or import a development backup into staging.

No. The WordPress.org plugin works without an account or external service registration. ### What is included in the WordPress.org plugin? You can create and refresh staging, migrate a development or local backup into staging, protect the staging site, create complete backups, schedule backups, import backups, restore backups, run release dry-runs, and publish reviewed staging changes to production. ### Does the plugin overwrite production? Only when an administrator explicitly runs a live release. Release actions are previews by default, and live production writes require confirmation checkboxes and a typed phrase. ### Can I review content differences before an overwrite? Yes. The plugin can show a difference review before GET refreshes and publishing workflows when target-side content has changed since the last sync. You can cancel, continue with the source, or preserve selected target content where supported. ### Is staging-to-production publishing included? Yes. Administrators can publish reviewed staging files, selected tables, plugin files, WordPress core files, or a full-site release scope after running previews and completing the live-release confirmations. ### Can visitors or search engines access staging sites? Staging directories are protected by Basic Auth by default on Apache-compatible servers and receive noindex headers and robots.txt rules. Servers that do not honor`. htaccess` may need matching server-level rules. ### Does this replace host-level backups? No. The plugin creates managed local backups for rollback support, but host-level or off-server backups are still recommended before important production releases. ### Does the plugin send telemetry? No telemetry is sent by default. Support reports are sent only when an administrator sends one manually or explicitly enables automatic error reports. Reports are designed to exclude passwords, salts, API keys, database passwords, Basic Auth passwords, user lists, and table contents. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Easy Staging Migration by Gami” is open source software.
