Question

Is it possible to move/copy the files in the staging WordPress site to the live site?

Answer

The Copy Data feature can be used for that:

  1. Log into Plesk
  2. Go to Domains > example.com > WordPress:

  3. Click the Copy Data button next to the name of the WordPress installation that is required to synchronize:

  4. Select the target WordPress installation to synchronize the data. This WordPress installation may be related to the same or another subscription:

  5. Under Select Content to be Copied, select which data you want to synchronize with the destination WordPress site:

    Note: In case copying failed, a Restore Point in Domains > example.com > WordPress > Restore Point can be used to rollback the previous state. The files wp-config and web.config will not be synchronized as changing of these files may disrupt the operation of WordPress.

Refer to the WP Toolkit [Copying Data from One WordPress Website to Another] documentation chapter for more details.
