ok……I guess since i can’t find a common practice for this sort of thing. maybe the answer is…..doing a COMPLETE backup and migrate. i guess only the beginning stages of making the website will require this. later people don’t do this as often….hence why i can’t find guides for it. tbh…. esmi….on nearly all websites people state that you should never develop on the actual live site and that safest way is to develop on a WAMP. and it makes sense. I checked out backup buddy again and yes it makes the whole process much faster and more efficient….but i have one question which funny enough…i couldnt find the answer to.
Question: does backup buddy fix the url’s SAFELY (maintaining serialization) after re-importing the dev site? …as all the url’s will be http://www.localhost.com (including internal url’s).
so each time…..i have to copy over the database and the WHOLE wordpress folder and after importing it…..i have to do a complete search and replace on all the url’s? If this is the case, then does that mean that for the time it takes for the files to be overwritten that people won’t be able to view the site or they will keep coming across errors due to the file transfer not being complete yet…? because this process doesn’t finish in the blink of an eye. it takes TIME. so how do people usually do this without coming across this obstacle? I mean….what do most people use for this common task? backupbuddy? does that make it all faster?
