PushLive allows you to have a fully functioning staging site or Multisite environment for editing and development that you then with a single click individually push to the live site when you’re ready.
Now works with Multisite! – Featuring Independent Pushes for Each Site
Coming Soon (Next Major Release): PushLive Replicate – Easily create a staging site from your current live site
<blockquote>
<h4>With PushLive you ( or your clients ) will make all initial and future edits on the staging site, push them to the live site, and in most cases never actually touch the live site except to enjoy its awesomeness</h4>

Special Multisite WordPress installations – PushLive is installed at the Network Admin level and best used when building and testing the site from the ground up because some Plugins are simply not compatable with PushLive in a Multisite environment

History:
<ul>
<li>This was originally a simple tried and true Joomla 1.5 component my company developed many years ago</li>
<li>I then updated it for Joomla 2.5 and added some new features</li>
<li>Updated it for Joomla 3.5 and again added some new features</li>
<li>Rewrote it for WordPress for my own use about a year ago</li>
<li>Decided shortly after that I would become a WordPress developer and release it publicly</li>
<li>9 months of using it later I finally released it with some new features and minor bugs fixed</li>
<li>Historically PushLive has always served us/me good use so it should be something you can trust and rely on as well</li>
<li>We have NEVER had a major issue with PushLive we had to recover from, but you should always back up your site</li>

PushLive – Staging Sites to Live in One Click

I might be a bit biased, but PushLive has always worked like a charm for me! After you take a few minutes to set it up, the one button push is all you ever have to think about from then on to make your changes live. I thought about giving PushLive 4 stars, because I know it could be better... But how it could be better has really stumped me, so naturally the only logical thing to do in that case was to 5 star it and see if everyone else agrees!
