Staging environment

[Jon12345]

With the Managed VPS servers, do you get a staging environment for your Wordpress parts of your site?

cPanel has no default feature for staging environment setup and/or deployment.

There is Softaculous that can assist with creating Staging, but I believe it requires the premium license in order to do so.

I think I've paid for Softaculous. Do you know the name of the app that needs installing for that?

 

[KH-JonathanKW]

Softaculous has it built in. If you have an existing WordPress setup within Softaculous, then Softaculous will allow you to clone/stage that website to another subdomain.

Good Morning!

Was just poking around to check out that WP staging feature and...

...Did KH use to pay for us all to have the license? I know I was able to install WP using Softaculous not all that long ago.

Softaculous has required a premium license for WordPress for some time now, it was once available -- but Softaculous decided it was a premium software.

Nope, Softaculous has always been a paid add-on. It's $1/mo on VPSs.

It was a few years ago. Softaculous' installer for WP was nice, but I preferred doing it the manual way and be more hands on with it. When I saw you mention that it offered staging that piqued my interest so I returned to it for the first time in years.

Their pricing is more than reasonable. Thanks!
