<p>StageBridge gives you a complete staging workflow without leaving WordPress.</p>
<p><strong>Core Features</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Clone</strong> – Create a staging copy of your production site in a configurable subfolder, such as /staging/, or on a staging subdomain such as staging.example.com.</li>
<li><strong>Sync</strong> – Pull current production files and database changes into staging.</li>
<li><strong>Push</strong> – Push staging changes back to production with safe conflict protection by default.</li>
<li><strong>Force overwrite</strong> – Optional push mode for cases where staging should intentionally replace production changes.</li>
<li><strong>Backups</strong> – Create full, database-only, or files-only backups manually or on a schedule.</li>
<li><strong>Restore</strong> – Restore from saved backups when you need to roll back.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Additional Features</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Incremental file copying for clone, sync, and push operations.</li>
<li>Conflict-aware push protection for production files and common WordPress content tables.</li>
<li>Compressed file backups to reduce inode usage.</li>
<li>Automatic full safety backups before sync and push, with a per-operation checkbox to skip them when appropriate.</li>
<li>Subfolder or subdomain staging URL modes.</li>
<li>Staging admin bar indicator and frontend staging banner.</li>
<li>Same-tab switch buttons to reduce accidental editing in the wrong environment.</li>
<li>Search/replace for URLs and paths with serialized data support.</li>
<li>Password-protect staging with .htaccess / .htpasswd when supported by the server.</li>
<li>robots.txt handling for staging environments.</li>
<li>Email notifications for clone, sync, push, and backup events.</li>
<li>Live activity logs and persistent completion modals for long-running operations.</li>
<li>Configurable file exclusions for cache, backup, archive, and log files.</li>
<li>Automatic retries for temporary server errors.</li>
<li>Clean uninstall that removes plugin options and custom plugin tables.</li>
</ul>
<p>StageBridge is intended for site owners, maintainers, and developers who need a practical staging workflow from inside WordPress.</p>
<h3>Requirements</h3>
<ul>
<li>WordPress 5.9 or higher</li>
<li>PHP 7.4 or higher</li>
<li>ZipArchive PHP extension for file and full backups</li>
<li>mod_rewrite for optional staging password protection on Apache-compatible servers</li>
<li>Sufficient disk space for staging copies and backups</li>
</ul>
<h3>Privacy</h3>
<p>StageBridge runs locally inside your WordPress installation. It does not send site data to an external service.</p>
<p>The plugin stores settings, logs, backup metadata, operation progress, and staging metadata in the WordPress database. Backup archives and temporary job files are stored on your server under wp-content/uploads/stagebridge/. Email notifications are sent through your WordPress site’s configured mail system.</p>

<p>Instead of going into <a href="https://netlify.com" rel="nofollow ugc">Netlify</a> and triggering a deploy everytime you make a change in WordPress, automate and make things easier with the <strong>Deploy with NetlifyPress</strong> plugin. <strong>Deploy with NetlifyPress</strong> lets you trigger deploys in <a href="https://netlify.com" rel="nofollow ugc">Netlify</a> (automatically!) without having to leave your WordPress Dashboard.</p>
<h3>Use Cases</h3>
<p>So, you’ve build a headless static front-end for your WordPress site and hosted it on <a href="https://netlify.com" rel="nofollow ugc">Netlify</a>, good job! Wondering how would you trigger a deploy in <a href="https://netlify.com" rel="nofollow ugc">Netlify</a> everytime someone updates a post in WordPress? Forget going inside everytime an update is made and triggering a build manually, install <strong>Deploy with NetlifyPress</strong> and let it run a deploy for you automatically on each update.</p>
<p>If you’re looking for a real-life example, I’ve build my personal site <a href="https://nahid.dev" rel="nofollow ugc">nahid.dev</a> (<a href="https://github.com/nfmohit/nahid.dev" rel="nofollow ugc">GitHub</a>) using <a href="https://www.gatsbyjs.org/" rel="nofollow ugc">GatsbyJS</a> with its source as WordPress and am hosting it on <a href="https://netlify.com" rel="nofollow ugc">Netlify</a>. I use <strong>Deploy with NetlifyPress</strong> to automate deploys when I update pages and posts.</p>
<h3>Core Features</h3>
<p>The core features of the plugin include the abilities to:<br />
* Automatically trigger deploys on post publish<br />
* Automatically trigger deploys on post update<br />
* Automatically trigger deploys on post trash<br />
* Filter the post types for which you want automatic deploys to run<br />
* Add a button for manual deployments on the top admin toolbar.</p>
<h3>Requirements</h3>
<p>This plugin requires you have a site hosted on Netlify and a Build Webhook URL set up. Here’s how you can get a Build Hook URL:<br />
1. Log into <a href="https://app.netlify.com/" rel="nofollow ugc">Netlify</a>.<br />
2. From the list of sites, enter the site you want to set up <strong>Deploy with NetlifyPress</strong> for.<br />
3. Go to <em>Site settings</em>.<br />
4. From the left sidebar, go to <em>Build and deploy<span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span>Continuous Deployment</em>.<br />
5. Scroll down to the “<em>Build hooks</em>” section.<br />
6. Click the “<em>Add build hook</em>” button, enter a preferred name for the webhook (e.g. “Deploy from WordPress”), choose the <a href="https://git-scm.com/" rel="nofollow ugc">Git</a> branch to build and hit <em>Save</em>.<br />
7. You’ll be given a Build Hook URL that can be used in <strong>Deploy with NetlifyPress</strong>.</p>
<h3>Installation</h3>
<p>Installation of the <strong>Deploy with NetlifyPress</strong> plugin is very simple. Follow along with the installation procedure in the dedicated <a href="#installation" rel="nofollow ugc"><strong>Installation</strong> tab</a>.</p>
<h3>Usage</h3>
<ol>
<li><a href="#installation" rel="nofollow ugc">Install</a> and activate the plugin</li>
<li>Go to your <em>WordPress Dashboard<span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span>NetlifyPress</em></li>
<li>On the “<em>Connect with Netlify</em>” tab, enter your Netlify Build Hook URL.</li>
<li>On the “<em>Automatic Deployment</em>” tab, choose if you want to use Automatic Deployment, on which actions should it trigger and which post types the actions should apply to.</li>
<li>On the “<em>Manual Deployment</em>” tab, choose if you want to add a “Trigger Netlify Deploy” manual trigger button in the top admin toolbar.</li>
</ol>

<h3>Roadmap</h3>
<p>I have plans for the following features/improvements in the coming days (subject to user feedback and usage):<br />
1. Admin options migration to Settings API with Ajax support.<br />
2. Success/failure message on auto deploy trigger.<br />
3. Success/failure message on auto deploy status (after completion).<br />
4. Scheduled deployments.<br />
5. Deployment logs.</p>
