Would not answer basic questions
By jabbamonkey on May 2, 2024
I sent WP STAGING a question that would help me make a decision regarding purchasing their software ... they avoided answering, were rude, and said that I needed to purchase their software if I wanted "support" (note: I was asking questions about the software's capabilities, not asking for help using their software). If this is how they treat potential customers, I can only imagine how they treat their actual customers (once they already have your money). I recommend looking for solutions elsewhere.

Easy, works. Gives me a place to try Plugin updates with no concern for their failures.

Free version doesn't allow you to test the primary function
By d2webdesigns on April 28, 2024
I typically don't write reviews because I fully understand there are a lot of nuances that could keep the software from working for someone or not doing exactly what they need, but I'm a bit tired of the bait and switch.
Yes, there is a free version... but it DOESN'T allow you to even test the staging portion of the plugin... it's primary function! You can clone the site, test the changes on the new server but not push the data back to the original site. A tiny bit of trust has to be given by the developers since we're trusting you with our data.
I will not purchase their software at $20/mo. to find out that it won't fully do what the client needs. Allow me, as a potential buyer to test all of your functions, once... twice maybe, or even for a week before locking it behind a paywall. Don't lock out it's primary functions you cannot test without making a payment.
It is not free if you need to migrate to other serve under different domain
By jaspash on April 27, 2024
It is not free if you need to migrate to other serve under different domain . You can only migrate to another hosting/server only on the same domain. Which doesn't make much sense for a Migration tool.
I get this message:
[critical] - [2024/04/27 20:54:07] - Cannot restore this backup! Free Version doesn't support site migration and can only restore backups created on the same domain, host and server. Get WP Staging Pro to restore this backup on this website.
Hostile payment options - check refund policy
By vayoka on April 23, 2024
Before making a purchase, I strongly encourage you to thoroughly review the refund policy of the software. It's crucial to understand that you must pay to test all the features, and the decision to issue a refund rests solely with the company. Should you encounter any issues where the software does not perform as advertised, be prepared for the possibility that the fault may be attributed to external factors rather than the software itself. Being well-informed about these policies can help manage your expectations and ensure that you make a decision that aligns with your needs and resources.
You get a good idea of their business practices if you read their refund policy.
Easy and useful to create playgrounds to test
By Haim (koostamas) on April 21, 2024
Great idea for testing. Simple make a copy of the website and play with it to try out new ideas. Thanks for this plugin!
Realy good Plugin and Suport
By gofreem on April 20, 2024
Very good plugin and a great team behind it. I've been using it for free all this time and eventually thought, 'It's time to finally reward the team.' The plugin is fantastic and a must-have for all website owners. Need something installed quickly? No problem. Just set up a staging site and give it a try. Then you can apply the changes directly to the main site.
Then I noticed that something could be improved and submitted a support ticket. It was answered and resolved within just one day. Respect! Keep up the good work…
Thank you from Germany
