Question About pushing changes from staging to live

    Hello! I would like to know if this plugin would work for our case.

    The website is built with ElementorPro. We are hosting it in WP Engine.
    We have production and staging environments.

    We would like to know if this plugin works in the following scenario:
    If we make changes to a page directly on Elementor’s visual editor, and add some photos to it for example. Would it be possible to push to live this change and photos without REPLACING the production’s data?

    Thank you

    Hi @luminadevops ,

    Yes, with WP STAGING Pro you can selectively push database tables, themes, plugins, and directories instead of replacing the entire production site.

    In your case, page content is mainly stored in the *_posts and *_postmeta tables, so pushing those tables affects more than just one page. If production is receiving new content while staging is being edited, those changes could be overwritten.

    A safer workflow is to sync the latest posts/pages from production to staging first: https://wp-staging.com/docs/syncing-posts-or-pages-from-production-site-to-staging-site/

    Then make your Elementor changes and push them back once production and staging are aligned.

    Cheers!
