What will update-option do specifically?

…Starting to regret choosing WP to receive a site transfer. I have to keep the address live on the web while I rebuild the site on a new host with WP. With straight HTML, I’d just build the site in a DRAFT folder and address the files the live broadcast. Then, when it comes time to go live with the site, I just copy the files to public_html folder. With WP, I’m wasting all this time trying to figure out this simple addressing juggle. Is there no straight forward way to execute this move with WP?

Well,it’s not big, but the site varies a bit because of its nature. It’s a non-profit, and the most important aspect is showing off animals for adoption. The pet adoption part varies with the number of animals needing homes. The address is: petsinc.org . And the adoptoin part is here: https://petsinc.org/availabledogs.php . You have some thought about how it could be done better than cut n paste? ??

Cool, I’ll check it out. Much thanks!

Hey Mike, thanks. I figured it might require something like that. I suppose I should get myself educated in PHP — for a lot of reasons. Not the least of which that this is not the first time I will have transfered an entire CMS site to another — all copy and pasting, one field at time! Thanks again! –C

Sadly, I don’t have php skills. Other ideas?
