need staging site

  • I have a hosting provider who set me up with the WP theme already installed in Cpanel and pointing to the domain.

    However, I wanted to upload a simple landing page I built in boostrap first (a coming soon vibe) for the main domain to be pointing out.

    I am unable to reach my provider at the moment and would like to know a simple way to do this. I have not made any changes to the freshly installed site.

    I have read some things about stage coach, but unsure about setting up a separate DB and would like to know the easiest way to accomplish this.

    Obviously making a subdomain in Cpanel, but methinks that just simply copying all the WP files and pasting them into the subdomain folder while I am upload the new files in the interim is not as easy as I want to think.

    I appreciate the help!

  • You want to use a pre-made Bootstrap page while you are staging your site? Am I right?

    Hello,

    That is correct!!!!

    Install a plugin like Ultimate Coming Soon Page and go and edit the text for the page. if it uses the default WordPress editor it should have an option for inserting code. All you need to do is put code like the following in:
    <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; url=https://comingsoon.yourdomain/index.html" />
    Use that and change the coming soon URL to somewhere taht the bootstrap page is like a subdomain for example ‘comingsoon.yourdomain.com’ and just log out and every logged out user can now access the coming soon page.
