Hi Luke. Thanks for the reply.
I intend to test plugin updates on the staging site. I also intend to test the look of new widget configurations on the staging site. If those changes are acceptable and without error, then I’ll make the same changes on my live site.
Your reply has forced me to think and realize that as long as I make the same changes to the Staging site as I do the Live site, then they will/should operate the same way. Correct? So I will not need to generate a new staging site for every minor test that I do.
Am I on the right path, there?
