Hi, I created a staging site to work on some upgrades for my site. In the meantime, I had a number of new customers schedule new appointments. How can I migrate this information, and just this information, to my new install? My other tables have changed, so I can't just do a full DB migration.
We do not do migrations and we are not familiar with them since this is not our area of expertise. Your hosting should be able to help with the migration. But since this is not full migration the easiest thing would be to create these couple of new customers on the back end on your new site and to book those appointments manually.
If you have any more questions please open a new separate ticket for each question and we will gladly help you there.
Hi Marco, the problem is that when customers book an appointment on the live site, they get a calendar invite - there is no way to stop it. Then once I push the staging site to live, those appointments are gone. When I rebook them, the employee and customer get a second appointment on the calendar. And users who are recreated may get a second account creation email, which is confusing.
Surely, pushing staging WP sites to live is a common thing. I am not a developer, so I expected there is some standard practices here.
And to be clear, I'm not talking about migrating a site to another domain. I am talking about staging a site for minor updates or development, and then pushing it to live. I imagine most of your customers do this at some point?? Surely there is a process you recommend. I saw mention of the Duplicator plugin on a support page, but I couldn't figure out how to use it to accomplish what I need.
Was hoping you had more info, or could point me in the right direction.
We just got the feedback from our colleagues and they have told us that this is not a common practice to use a staging site. The staging site is used to test potential changes before implementing them on the live site (manually). You can try to synchronize our tables before transferring the staging site to live by copying our tables to staging and then performing a migration, but this is not a guarantee that you will not lose some data if a booking occurs during that time.
