    Hi René,

    I used to use Duplicator to migrate from local to live sites, without no issues.

    Some questions:
    1. I created a wp-staging site with your free version. Can I install Duplicator at the staging site and move it to the live site without issues?
    2. If yes, what should I do to prevent issues?
    3. Are there any adjustments I need to make somewhere in wp-staging settings, before I am going to run Duplicator? I have asked the Duplicator developer but they are not sure if it’s possible to use Duplicator for migration WP-staging to live. Hopefully this will work smoothly. Thanks a lot!

    Is this compatible? Your help is much appreciated.

    I am sorry but I do not know if this works. Theoretically yes, but there are still some custom wp staging settings in the database which needs to be converted and I am pretty sure that duplicator does not do this.

    Simple question:

    Why don’t you use duplicator only to create a clone? Yes, I know it is not as easy as WP Staging but as you do not plan to use WP Staging for the later migration it’s a much more saver option for you.

    Hi René,

    Thanks for your reply. That’s indeed how I normally work. I develop local, and push it to live with Duplicator, works perfectly. I liked to try your free version, just curious and this worked perfectly as well.
    I thougt indeed there should be some restrictions for migration, so now I guess, I should buy your pro version as I do not like to migrate manually and I don’t want to repair things afterwards. So it’s one push of a button? Are you assisting if something goes wrong? And, I think, price of your Pro version is too high.

    Vielen Dank!

    Hi René,

    I don’t understand the price model completely.

    If I buy a single license for one customer website, it’s € 89,-. But now I see, I need to pay this amount yearly.

    I thougt I am going to buy the Pro licence just once, push my website to the live site and that’s it. Thought I do not need the Pro version anymore then after the migration, and I am planning to delete the staging site after migration. Is this how it works or do I miss something? Why paying yearly for the Pro version? Thanks for your reply.
