Staging Site Best Practices?

when ready move, follow this codex: https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Moving_WordPress

Although how well it works depends on the “technical environment” of the web server(s) in the source and target systems, this plugin is worth a look: https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/duplicator/

I used to move and clone sites using the Codex page Tara mentions, and still do if Duplicator won’t do the job for me, but have found that Duplicator can save a lot of time and effort in compatible environments.

Thank you both for the replies, that cleared it up!

Glad to know it ??

Me, too.
