Update WP STAGING | PRO

We continuously update and improve WP STAGING, so we release new versions periodically all the time. As a result, you will get periodic update notifications in your production and your staging site’s admin dashboard.

As long as you use only the cloning and pushing features, updating WP STAGING on the staging site is not required.

If you use any of the backup features, we recommend that you constantly update WP STAGING on the staging site as well.

If you want to update WP STAGING automatically on the staging and production sites, you need at least a license key for two websites.

The other option is to update WP STAGING manually on the staging site. Both options are explained in this article.

How do you make sure to get WP STAGING | PRO updates automatically?

After activating the WP STAGING | PRO license key under WP STAGING > License, we will inform you about new updates in your WordPress plugin dashboard. From there, you can update the plugin automatically:

Note: Using the latest WP STAGING | PRO plugin on the production site is essential. It does not matter if the plugin on the staging site is outdated if you only use its staging capabilities. However, if you create backups of your staging site and make use of WP STAGING’s famous backup feature, we recommend that you update WP STAGING on the staging site as well.

You have three options to update WP STAGING:

  1. Purchase a plan with more than two active sites and activate the WP STAGING license key on the staging site through Staging Site > WP Staging > Licenses. Then you can do an automatic plugin update via Staging Site > Plugins.
  2. Download the plugin from your account and manually upload it to your staging site through WordPress > Plugins > Add New.
  3. Use the WP STAGING update function on WP STAGING > Sites > Action > UPDATE and exclude all tables and all files except the folder. plugins/wp-staging-pro
