How can I set up a staging site to test updates?

Hello,

We plan to do a lot of work on our website over the next month or two. We'd love to work on a staging site to help prevent any errors from going to the live site. Please let me know how I can get that set up.

Thank you!

You can generate a demo site, and make changes to that. Here's our guide on this:

How can I bring the current site into the demo site?

Currently, we do not have a method to handle the copying of a site to a dev site automatically. You could try to copy it with a migration plugin from the wordpress plugin search.

What should I set as the website url for the demo site?

You can use anything for the URL. It will be randomized with additional numbers after as well.

Where do I find the url to be able to add /wp-admin at the end to be able to login?

It hadn't fully generated for some reason. It's finished now. You can refresh the page, and use the Admin Login to log into it.
