WordPress staging, migration, and backup plugin
WordPress staging creation, production publishing, and backups in one plugin.
- Staging creation (GET)
- Production publishing (PUSH)
- Site migration (Migration)
- Scheduled backups
Overview
From WordPress staging creation
to production publishing.
Easy Staging Migration core 0.8.18 manages staging creation through production publishing in one place. GET, Migration import and export, backups, item-level review, and preview-first PUSH are included without an account or license.
Features
See the feature details in the WordPress admin screen.
Beyond staging creation and production publishing, the plugin includes difference review, manual and scheduled backups, import, restore, and advanced settings in the same admin flow.
Workflow demo
Watch the current seven-step core 0.8.18 workflow.
Follow GET, Migration import and export, backups, item-level review, preview-first PUSH presets, and the explicit confirmations required before a live publish. The optional add-on changes the PUSH screen; it does not unlock publishing.
Seven steps shown in the video
- 1. GET Create or refresh staging from the current production site.
- 2. Migration import Upload a development, local, or test-site package into the WordPress environment.
- 3. Migration export Create a portable package for another WordPress environment.
- 4. Backup Create a manual restore point and configure scheduled backups.
- 5. Item-level review Compare posts, pages, categories, tags, and terms, then choose the production or staging version.
- 6. PUSH preview Preview the Plugin, Core, or Full Site preset before any live change begins.
- 7. Explicit live confirmation Confirm the backup and staging-review checkboxes, then type the requested phrase before publishing.
Feature table
Core 0.8.18 includes PUSH. Live Push 0.2.7 adds a dedicated full-site workflow.
The add-on does not unlock PUSH. The free WordPress.org core already includes the staging, migration, backup, review, preview, and live-publish workflow; the add-on replaces the core PUSH screen with a licensed full-site flow.

FAQ
FAQ
Is this a subscription?
No. The launch license is a one-time $77 purchase for one production site. There is no recurring fee.
Do I install the core plugin from WordPress.org?
Yes. Install the free core plugin from WordPress.org first, then upload the paid Live Push add-on ZIP after purchase.
What kind of WordPress plugin is this?
It manages WordPress staging creation, migration into staging, backups, restore, and PUSH-based production publishing from one admin workflow.
What is the base workflow?
GET creates or refreshes staging from production. Core PUSH previews and publishes reviewed staging changes back to production after explicit confirmations.
Can I use backup and restore without a license?
Yes. Backup creation, restore, download, import, and basic scheduled backup features stay in the free core plugin.
Can I migrate a development site to staging for free?
Yes. Import a backup from a development, local, or test site into staging with the free core plugin.
Where does difference review fit?
It is a safety layer near the overwrite step. It appears when production and staging both have newer changes that need a decision. Simple one-sided updates continue automatically.
Is PUSH included in the free core?
Yes. Core 0.8.18 includes preview-first PUSH and live publishing after explicit confirmations.
What does the paid add-on do?
Live Push 0.2.7 replaces the core PUSH screen with a dedicated full-site workflow and provides licensed add-on updates in WordPress admin. It does not unlock PUSH.
Does this make production publishing risk-free?
No. It reduces risk by adding diff review, dry-run and scope checks, and a backup-first workflow. Keep independent backups and use a maintenance window for stores, membership sites, and sites with frequent live content.
