    That’s correct, Richard. You obviously expect something from the free version which is not delivered by the plugin. It’s nowhere stated that the basic version can migrate staging to live. So where do you see any trap?

    I have to say that it was very clear to me that the free version would be very limited in what it does. Even so, it is still very useful. If someone took the time to read the plugin documentation you would know that the basic version does not migrate to live. I do not feel that richcb7’s review is at all fair. Great product and support Rene! Please keep up the good work!

    And I totally agree with richcb7. The push from a staging to a productive environment is the most basic and elementary part of the concept. Without it is just a cloning tool and the word “staging” is not applicable.
    It is almost obvious to call it a trap, because the fact that this elementary function is behind the paywall is let’s say fogged. There are even links and pictures and buttons on the config page saying “Turorial: push changes to live website” and “Try out now”. That may not say but definitely suggest, that it is part of the free version.
    And the trick is to let people use the plugin to work on their staging page, spending a lot of effort, and when they want to push it to live, they surprisingly face the decision: doing all the work once again, or pay around $100 (ONE HUNDRED for a single website) to get it moved.
    I consider this as a dishonest and unfair business practice, I will not support it by paying any money and can only warn against using this plugin.

    I don’t disagree with the above comments, but to make a staging site in a GoDaddy account you need to have their premium hosting plan… so it costs there too! I’d rather pay a developer than goDaddy. ??

    Wait what????

    Holy… it IS a trap… Why do you call the free version staging instead of just cloning which is what it is….

    I was considering buying the pro version for the other features but now I feel cheated…

    Sneaky… you got me….

    I wish I had visited here before I put all that work into the staging version…
