Hey @fitspoint1 ,
Yes, you can safely copy your WordPress site to a test or staging environment. Many hosting providers offer a built-in staging feature, or you can use a migration plugin such as Duplicator or All-in-One WP Migration to create a separate environment that mirrors your live site. This allows you to make adjustments and test changes without affecting your live courses or users.
Regarding the Tutor LMS license, it covers one production site. Using a staging or test site for development is generally allowed.
Best practices for safely making adjustments after launch:
- Use a staging environment for testing updates to Tutor LMS, themes, or other plugins.
- Take regular backups of your live site before performing updates.
- Test updates and new features on staging first to ensure they don’t break course functionality.
- Limit access to the staging environment to trusted users only.
You can refer to the official support for more guidance: Tutor LMS Support
This approach ensures you can safely develop and adjust your site without disrupting your students’ experience.
Thank you.
