Simply define your production url in settings and copy your site to your staging instance without fear. The staging site won’t send any emails and won’t process any payments.
<h4>Why should I use the plugin</h4>
If you host your site on a managed host that provides a staging instance (WP Engine, Siteground, and others), or if you run a staging instance for a self-hosted website, you may have found that WordPress and WooCommerce will automatically send emails and process payments from the staging site. Whenever you clone your production site to your staging site, you would normally need to complete a number of steps to make your site “safe for staging.”
Instead, install this plugin in production, set the production URL, and safely copy your site to and from staging. No other steps needed!
<h4>Features on Staging</h4>
<ol>
<li>A “noindex” tag is added to all pages. Your staging site won’t show up in Google.</li>
<li>WordPress emails are stopped. The site won’t send any emails except for the password reset email. Please note, this feature may not be compatible with plugins that offload email to a 3rd party service.</li>
<li>The WooCommerce checkout page has a warning message notifying the visitor they are viewing the staging site.</li>
<li>WooCommerce payment gateways are suspended. Bank account transfer, Cash on Delivery and Check are left enabled. Stripe is automatically put into test mode.</li>
<li>WooCommerce Subscriptions is put into staging mode.</li>
</ol>

Safe Staging

My client did something that suddenly started sending emails from the staging server for their membership site. This plugin allowed me to kill the emails from sending and backtrack the issues caused before it got out of hand. 

This saved my client

Safely copy your WordPress, WooCommerce, and membership site between production and staging.

Backup Migration

Our hosting does daily backups but it is always nice to have a tool that can quickly make a backup on demand. This plugin is what we need

Really easy backups

It worked perfectly for me. Thank you very much for a great plugin.

Worked as promised.

Simple and Fast


...and it's very well built. Solid backup plugin!


Works Like a Charm...


This plugin was handy in my scenario because other similar plugins with big names in the market were not useful to me even migrating a site with a size less than 50 MB some had limits and others had migration available in the premium version.



The free version of this plugin helped me a lot. Thanks to the Developers. 


Best option in market


Well, I will only say that, this plugin is far more better then other plugins on the web. very fast and smooth migration. Highly recommend. Keep up the good work guys. :)  


Awesome Plugin!!!


Its good plugin for backup compared to others.


Its good plugin for backup


Seriously, this free plugin beats even the premium alternatives.Thanks, Inisev! 🏆



A tip for people moving away from WP Engine:By default, they place some files in the /wp-content/ directory might break the import process on the new server.This can be avoided by deleting anything under /wp-content/mu-plugins/ that you haven't inserted yourself.In my case, I also had to remove /wp-content/object-cache.php


simply the best 👌


I know it doesn't look the "WP" way, but I like the look of this plugin.Nice and easy to use. The only thing I would say is that if you run out of space it doesn't really say that. so check that if it doesn't backup.
