Pull or push?

    Hello,

    It is really great plugin, and thanks.

    However, when I am reading your official documentation at https://wp-staging.com/docs/cloning-a-staging-site-testing-push-method/, I am confused by the term of “push”.

    For instance

    How to Push the Staging Site to the Production Site

    1. Log in to your production site.
    2. Navigate to WP Staging PRO> Staging Sites > Click on the Action dropdown.
    3. Push the site “Staging” to the production site.

    On the production site which will be overwritten by the staging site, right? and we now being on the overwritten site, should the term “pull” be used?

    From my understanding, if the overwritten acting is on staging site, that is actually Push?

    Or, did I misunderstand?

    Thanks, and have a nice day.

    Thanks for the kind words.

    The button “Push” means the selected staging site will overwrite the site where you are logged in. So yes, a pull would be the better term.

    I agree that this naming scheme can be confusing for first-time users. The term has historical reasons, and we hesitate to change it to not confuse more than 100.000 active users of our free and pro versions by using a new scheme.

    If you have a better idea, please let me know:-)

    By the way. You mentioned an article that explains how to clone and push an existing staging site. (I’ve extended this article to make it more clear.)

    The regular article for pushing a staging site to the live site is this one:
    https://wp-staging.com/docs/copy-staging-site-to-live-site/

    Please read this one, and then hopefully it becomes more clear.

    Oh, I got it, thanks so much for your clarifing.

    And I will definitely get myself to be familiar with your new article.

    Have a nice day 🙂

    Hello Again 🙂

    I just check the video at https://wp-staging.com/docs/copy-staging-site-to-live-site/, and I just want to have confirmation and make sure there is no misunderstanding:

    1# At the beginning of that video, you are on the production site, right?

    2# Before record the video, a Staging site-1 was already created, right?

    3# Opened the staging site on the live site, and made a change for demo(changed slide image).

    4# Go back to the production site, push, and overwrite the production site itself ???

    Is there any misunderstanding please?

    Thanks
