Automates the entire process for migrating your wordpress install from a test/development/source to the live/destination domain. Also allows the ignoring of certain files/directories not needed to upload (e.g /cache, /.git, /.svn /.gitignore etc etc).
Here’s a list of what is accomplished during an automated deployment:
Disclaimer: Please backup any files or mysql tables on the live server. This plugin is intended for engineers with a working knowledge of linux and web development. Use at own risk.
This plugin is a fork/derivative of WP Live Server Deploy (https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-live-server-deploy/)

Automates the entire process for migrating your wordpress install from a test/development/source server to the live/destination server.

Automates the entire process for migrating your wordpress install from a test/development/source to the live/destination domain. Also allows the ignoring of certain files/directories not needed to upload (e.g /cache, /.git, /.svn /.gitignore etc etc).
Here’s a list of what is accomplished during an automated deployment:
<ul>
<li>If supported, archives the entire wordpress installation for compressed upload</li>
<li>Checks the file permissions</li>
<li>Uploads either the archive or each individual file</li>
<li>An uploaded archive is then extracted server side</li>
<li>Uploading each individual file is maximized by upload speed by asynchronously uploading up to 10 files</li>
<li>You can choose to ignore a list of folders or files for the upload – example cache folder or repository folders</li>
<li>Dumps/Exports your entire database and uploads it to the live server</li>
<li>Automatically switches old URL with the new URL</li>
<li>Automatically updates the wp-config.php accordingly</li>
<li>Flushes wordpress rewrite rules</li>
</ul>
If you are scared about the automated transfer and wish to do it manually, then just download the MySQL dump with the updated URL.
Disclaimer: Please backup any files or mysql tables on the live server. Although Live Server Deploy aims to provide a seamless deploy, we cannot guarantee that nothing unexpected can happen that might damage your content. Use at own risk.
