Backup/Restores, Export/Imports, when doing updates?
So team, what's the process when performing a WordPress update? I do these in a staging area to ensure nothing goes wrong and to give me time to fix any issues before merging the staging site back into Production.
So, how do I ensure the current live FCart, FCommunity, FBoards, FCRM, FSupport, and FBooking data is correctly and safely merged back into the live production site, after I transfer my updated staging site back into the live production site, without issues or downtime?
Is there an easy way to back up/dump every Fluent product database table, etc, all at once to a JSON file or similar? Then, once I have updated the live production site, import that JSON file back in, to update all Fluent Products at once?
Doing a dB import/export of each Fluent product (if that is possible) could result in issues between the site being updated and users making changes.
Do you have a list of tables for each Fluent product that should be exported/imported for this process? thanks.
Raws0n tried looking at https://wpvivid.com/ specifically https://wpvivid.com/features/staging-pro
Juraj Hudák , thanks for the details, and yes, I have already looked at these, but my workflow uses the tools and staging area provided by my hosting supplier. So I was looking for a way to do it, without another tool. However, the developer docs have been helpful to know which DB tables not to write over.
Raws0n super, some little steps forward
