Amazing !

I’ve been using InstaWP for several months now…

My initial experience using this plugin.

1. I don’t remember if I had to login to my existing InstaWP account to generate the API. That said, when the test site was created, it showed up in my InstaWP dashboard – if I had not logged in, this is pure magic !

2. Backing up my localserver site (I’m using Xamp, php 7.4), uploading the files and setting up the server took about 10 minutes, this will depend on the site size, and your internet connection, in my case, the site was probably between 150 – 200MB, so 10 minutes to do all that, is pretty good I suppose.

3. Now the issue I encountered which was easy to fix, but InstaWP should do this, so people with less experience would not be put off. For the record, I was using my own home made HYBRID FSE theme (hybrid, because I have restored the Original Widget Screen, The Menu screen and the Theme Customizer), ACF Pro (latest version) and 13 other various plugins, including the free version of Max Mega Menu. So the FSE theme is not using the Navigation block but a menu created with Max Mega Menu. NOW, the site loaded fine, the home page loaded perfectly, but none of the menu items were working, I was getting a 404 error. The fix was simple, all I had to do was to flush the permalinks, and all was fine. I gave all the above details so for you to know if a plugin was the cause of this, or we need to flush the permalinks every time we create a test site with this plugin. For the record, manually deploying a test site from the InstaWP dashboard this never happens.

Overall, this plugin at least for me is a God sent – thank you very much, you guys a simply amazing, in the near future I will change from a free user to a paid one, and even though I was debating it, this plugin is pushing me over the line and paying for it…
