    Morning All

    I need some help in understanding basic stuff.
    I want to setup a clean method of
    1. Replicating Production site into development site. So that I can do any future development in non-production environment. E.g. http://www.example.com and http://www.example.com/devsite
    2. How to bring across any change done and tested in development site into Production, do I have to restore it or just have to manual made those changes in Production again.
    3. Also, how can I hide the dev site from google indexing or public publishing.
    Please guide me any steps or link to refer.

    Hello!
    A common setup is:

    • Develop (often, a child theme) locally with MAMP, XAMPP, ServerPress, et. al.
    • Move the local files to a live staging server, for example, a sub-domain – staging.yoursite.com – of a domain in your possession.
    • When your staging site checks out clean and relatively bug free, move the data and files to the desired URL.

    Synchronize these local and remote databases by plugin (WP Migrate DB, for example), or by various manual methods. Read this helpful codex page on the subject of Moving WordPress.

    Have fun!
