Pull your production site to the staging site

When you pull your Managed WordPress site to the staging site, this creates a copy of your site. You can then edit this copy as much as you want without those changes affecting your main site.

If you haven't done so yet, create the staging site before you begin.

1. Log in to your HostingDude.com account.
2. In your My Products page, next to Managed WordPress, click Manage All.
3. Choose the set of instructions for the type of hosting manager you are using.

Note: If you're not sure what type of hosting manager you are using, see What type of hosting manager am I using?.
