Support » Plugin: Duplicator - WordPress Migration & Backup Plugin » [Plugin: Duplicator] Does it overwrite posts or comments on the live site?

  • Resolved Jim Hubbard

    (@jimhubbard)


    If I am developing a new look for a site while the site remains live, when I need to update the live site with the test site, the comments and posts (and maybe pages) will be different than when I copied the lve site to my test server.

    Will this plugin overwrite the new posts, comments, etc. that have been added to the server since my original copy?

  • Him Jim,

    Thanks for the feedback! The plugin currently doesn’t perform database table merges it only works from a clean database or a database that is currently empty. It does give you the option to overwrite the tables of an existing database, but it won’t merge the data.

    It is a one way cloning system. However if you interested in how I use the tool for development purposes you can follow the comment thread in this post. If you scroll down in the comments I give a detailed overview for how I integrate and use the plugin within a development environment.

    Hope that helps!
