 * The plugin interfered with other installed plugins and corrupted them. Eventual
   the hole website went down for several hours. Plugins corrupted were Give donation
   forms payment gateway Paypal and error 500, Integrate google drive premium error
   500, and Jetpack. In short the plugin was poorly programmed. Very disappointed.

 * WP Staging does not interfere with a live site at all. Actually we make sure 
   that we don’t load any code on the frontpage and load code only on the wp staging
   user interface pages and not on all other parts of your website.
 * The only requirement is that your live site has enough free space to hold a full
   copy of your website.
 * WP Staging does not touch any files or data on your production website at all.
   Please contact us and we can offer you to investigate into the issue you had.
 * You are eligible to use our premium support even by using the free version:
   [https://wp-staging.com/contact-us-presale-and-premium-support/](https://wp-staging.com/contact-us-presale-and-premium-support/)
   Best would be if you give us an exact error description of what you did and what
   happened. WP Staging does not corrupt any data on a website.
 * All the best
