Content Staging

With Content Staging you can prepare content in your staging environment, hidden away from the eye of the public. When your content is ready to be released you simply push it to your live site. Content Staging was built to support professional web sites where content editors need to push large amounts of posts per batch. You organize your posts into different batches. You can have as many or as few batches as you want and you are in full control to decide what posts goes into what batch. Deploying one of the batches to your live site is easy - any content related to selected posts is automatically included in the batch (e.g. images, users, terms) and synced to your production environment. Content Staging comes with full support for your multi-site setup.

Upload content-staging to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory on both your environments (staging and production). Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress on both your staging site and your live site. Notice: Its important that the /xmlrpc.php file is accessible on both environment (usually placed in root directory of your WordPress installation). Once activated, go to Content Staging -> Settings to setup the remote server details. You must generate a secret key and copy it to your remote server, as well as define the endpoint for your remote server.
