Local vs live staging
I need to create a website that will include LearnDash, BuddyBoss, etc.
I’m planning to build it on my computer using Local by Flywheel. Then, when it’s ready, I’ll migrate it online using WP Vivid.
I guess that I only should use Local by Flywheel in this specific circumstance. I shouldn’t use it to make changes or test plugins once my site is online, should I?.
If I’d create a backup of my live site and make changes on local, my live site will still be running, getting new registrations, new comments, etc. But I don’t know if “Local by Flywheel” can handle that correctly.
I heard that to make any changes and test plugins once my web is live, I should use a staging environment provided by my web host instead of a plugin like Local by Flywheel.
I’d appreciate any advice.I need to create a website that will include LearnDash, BuddyBoss, etc.
