Delete Plugin And All Staging Sites

Could you please elaborate on the first part of these instructions?
I can’t find anywhere to delete the staging site via the plugin.
Thank you.

Hello @mikejds , I noticed this has not been answered yet.
1.– Delete first the staging site via plugin
*Log into your Live Site Admin where you installed the plugin.
WP Staging should be in the side bar on the left. Click ‘Start’.
Any Staging site you have created will be listed with the name you gave it when you created it.
Next to the name are 3 buttons: Delete, Edit, Open.
Click ‘Delete’.

2.– Enable Wp Staging Option: Remove Data on Uninstall
*Go to WP Staging >Settings, Scroll down to the ‘Remove Data on Uninstall’ option, tick the box and SAVE the settings.

3.– Delete the plugin
*Will remove the plugin

Step one is also useful if you want to create a new staging or development area but need recover space on your hosting.

Note – I’m replying as a user, I do not know @renehermi but hope this is useful and that he will correct me if I am wrong. I am using the beta version mentioned by him but presume these options are available in the older version somewhere.
I hope the plugin will continue to be supported – so very useful!
In particular to test new plugins and themes as well as updates including WordPress core before deploying on live site.
Thanks @renehermi,

@cbatty This is all correct. Thank you very much for jumping in here:-)

My Pleasure – It’s not often I know the Solution to something:)

More Notes: I had errors before you issued the beta version.

I have not yet tested it on the larger site that didn’t work with the non-beta version – nor on a different not-so good host, but when I have done so, I will tell you the results on the thread:
https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/copying-file-has-been-failed-and-will-be-skipped/
where you posted the solution to the error.

That thread demonstrates the importance of developers keeping plugins up to date with all the WP core updates as they can be quite radical and, among other uses, this plugin allows website owners to test first and replace plugins and themes that are no longer supported or updated before updating the WordPress core, and avoid breaking their sites.

Thank you @renehermi for this extremely useful plugin – long may you continue to support and develop it…

P.S. If you are able to edit the title of this Thread may I respectfully suggest it should read:
How To Delete Plugin And All Staging Sites
The current title implies a directive to remove it, and that in turn implies that the plugin is no longer operational, but you are obviously currently working on it and updating instructions are in the current www.ads-software.com version.

Hi @cbatty,
Thank you very much for taking the time to provide detailed instructions.
