Every WordPress pro needs 2 things:
1. A staging environment
2. A cloud recovery plan
They cover completely different failure modes.
Staging = test before errors hit
Cloud recovery = restore after errors happen
Duplicator just shipped both in one update. Here's whatโs new ๐งต
Duplicator handles 3 things automatically on staging:
โ Search engines blocked from indexing
โ Outgoing emails disabled (no accidental customer emails)
โ Database isolated with a unique prefix

โ Run GTmetrix or PageSpeed Insights (compare pre- and post-merge)
โ Update Google Analytics and Search Console
โ Watch for crawl errors weekly for the first month
If you know what happened to some highly reputable WordPress brands today, it's truly unfortunate.
For those who are looking to switch, we are ready to onboard and support you through the transition.
- @wpcharitable is growing and many non profits are switching from GiveWP. We have an easy to use importer as well.
- @memberpress is absolutely crushing it. If you are on LearnDash and need a reliable LMS / membership solution to switch to, look no further. MemberPress has all + coaching + community features. It's an all in one solution, the best in the category.
- @sugarcalendar is a light weight but powerful event calendar solution for WordPress. Over 10,000+ sites are already using it and we continue to make the product better each week.
- @duplicatorwp is one of the most popular backup and migration solution for WordPress. If you want to swap out SolidWP tools, our bundle gives you Activity log and more features for great value.
- @athemesdotcom has two beautiful themes in Sydney and Botiga. Our Merchant plugin is incredible for Woo users.
Also for Woo users, take a look at @FunnelKitHQ and @couponsplugin for other really solid features.
Of course I highly recommend checking out our entire portfolio of plugins. Our team has been doing an incredible job and we are here to support the users for long term.
