 * Hello,
 * I have downloaded your plugin for development purposes. I wish to test modification
   of some .php files for plugins in the WP staging environment. For this purpose
   I need to locate the .php plugin files that WP staging has copied. Where can 
   these be found?
 * Are they within a subfolder of the WP Staging folder on the server? Or where 
   is all the data WP staging has duplicated stored?

 * Hi [@mouritz114](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mouritz114/) !
    By default
   the staging site’s directory is located as a sub-directory of your main WordPress
   installation files.
 * Let’s say your main WordPress site is located at:
    `/var/www/html/`
 * then your staging site would be located at:
    `/var/www/html/staging/`
 * That’s for sure if you chose “staging” as your staging site’s name.
 * Thanks,
    Alaa
