gazelle WP migrate TV pro page to find out more

everybody brought here let’s take a look at running a push migration so I’ve got two tabs open here I’ve got my death site here on the left and so damn depressed it at CIA and then on the right here at staging. Bret T. CX so pretty typical setup you have your Dub Side on all your local machine and then a staging site may be out on a server somewhere and usually staging sites for your clients so that he can take a look at things before putting the site live right so you can see as I switch between these tabs you can see the house numbers different in the comments numbers are different and on the right here you can see that the post different quite a bit so the recent recent posts are different in the comments were different so are we what we want to do is want to push all the changes from Dev up to staging so if we start on our death site and we go to tools migrate to the pro

and we’ll start with a fresh profile

and we slept push now we need a connection info so we’ll switch over to the staging site and what a tools Meyer TV pro and then we go to settings tab

and we find a connection and fell in here so the copy that and paste it in here and you see it when we pasted it just automatically tries to connect this just a little warning here at that SSL has been disabled so it’s we’ve removed we tried to connect over HTTP but didn’t work so it automatically tries already should you pee and it acted fine and but unfortunately we get an error message on here and it says that the license there is no license on staging. Brett has this little convenient like that we can just copy the license key to staging an activated license let’s just do that

and way it went and then we get an error message that says the connection succeeded but the remote site is configure to reject push connections

so if we go over to the staging site will see up here that we don’t have anything checked here so there’s no permissions enabled to allow push so if we check that one we should be able to do to connect now so we can act and away we go

so everything looks fine there we’re going to select just certain table to your I’m going to

do you select all of the search wptl was cuz they’re just way too big and

and I’ll check off a couple of advanced options here and let’s push this database to Stage a

guy looks like we’re finished up now if we take a look at our staging site It’ll ask is to login because we of course we migrated the users table so our session has been invalidated so we just log back in and now let’s go to the dashboard

and we’ll go to the dashboard over here on the death site as well

and let’s see let’s compare them so you can see that the posts are the same pretty much everything’s pretty much identical things over here switching because a certain plug in her neighbors on the website but not on the staging site which is fine
