Preserving Subscriber List when Working w/ a Staging Site

    I’m using a staging version of my site to periodically test and safely roll out major new content and functionality.

    When somebody subscribes to my live site, where is that email address stored? I figure I’ll either need to avoid overwriting that data when I push staging to live, or export from live and import into the *new* live site after overwriting it with the staging version. It looks like the process of moving subscribers to a new site involves JetPack support, i.e. isn’t a self-service thing I can do.

    Appreciate any knowledge and advice you can share.

    Jetpack stores your site data (including your subscribers) based on a unique blog ID. That blog ID is associated with your site’s URL. So, as long as the URL remains the same on your production site, your subscribers will not be lost. People who signup on your production site will remain subscribers on your production site.

    It is important to note that your staging site will have its own unique blog ID as well. So you should disconnect Jetpack on your staging site before pushing changes to your production site. You can read over this article on our blog for some more information about best practices for developers:

    I hope this helps!
