Synchronization of User Account Credentials with Staging Site

Synchronizing user account credentials to the staging site is useful when you want users to have the same access rights and roles on both the live and staging sites.

For example, if the login credentials for your staging site no longer work, you can use WP Staging to synchronize the current live site admin user with the staging site and regain access.

Follow the steps below to synchronize user account credentials to your staging site.

How to Transfer the WordPress Admin User to the Staging Site

1. Navigate to WP Staging > Sites

2. Click “Actions”

Actions > Sync User Account

3. Click “Sync User Account”

4. Click “Proceed”

5. Click “OK”
