What WP STAGING is
WP STAGING is a WordPress plugin for cloning, backing up, restoring, and migrating websites. Its free plan creates staging sites in a subfolder, supports full or partial backups, restores on the same site, and keeps one daily server-stored automatic backup. Paid plans add staging on a subdomain or chosen folder and can push selected database tables and folders from staging to a live site. Remote backup destinations include Google Drive, Amazon S3, Dropbox, OneDrive, pCloud, FTP, SFTP, DigitalOcean Spaces, Wasabi, and other S3-compatible storage. Developer and Agency plans include WooCommerce support and multisite backup and cloning. WP STAGING says processing occurs on customers’ servers without submitting customer data to third parties. Its desktop app runs on macOS, Windows, and Linux and requires Docker Desktop or Docker Engine. Plans include Free and paid annual options from €89.00 per year, with paid plans from €7.41/mo (annual).
