Pushing content from test site to live site

  • Howdy all,

    So currently I have a live site that is still under development, but has the bare minimum so that I may test different plugins and such. I have also created a test version of this site so that I may test updates and such on the test site before deploying them to the live site. Here is my question, What is the best way to push content created on the test site to your live site?

    I have messed around with the SitePush plugin some, but have run into some issues and the support forums over there have not been very helpful. Anyone care to let me know the process you use or if you use SitePush could you lend me a hand in the installation department?

    Thanks

  • Hi @ikharrell,

    Depends on your application. Doesn’t really exist a model which serves for everyone.

    If any post/page, category or any content needs to be uploaded from tests to live, so you can use the export/import from WordPress.

    If you just need to send new files or changes in files, you can use your Version Control, like GIT or SVN. If you’re not using, is a good time to start.

    To migrate your database completely, you can follow the codex explanation, like so:

    If you have composer, bower, grunt or any other compiler/dependencies control, you can also write a publish script.

    Capistrano is very common and a Team called Roots have a nice deploy script for WP, you should have a look:

    PS: I’ve never used, but seems very nice.
