asked on

Wordpress development IDE

Hello guys,

I want to ask what is the most effective way moving a WP site between:

1. local server (I use XAMP)

2. testing server on my domain

3. client's server


I've done pure front-end only to this time but I started to learn how WP (client's just want it so bad) works and some basic php which would totally be enough for my side jobs (microsites).

Main issue is that DB migration. Doing it manually is kind of pain so how do you guys do it? How do you develope a WP site if you just want to make a some changes to the theme (via child theme) and be time efficient?

Disclaimer: "I do know only a bit about DB".

You would have to first define when the commit would occur. How do you define when something should go live vs stay in development?
I wrote a DB migration PHP application once which transfers and restores databases, which I could modify and show you the code if you want...

Well, I mean to develope the core things locally, then move it to test server where copywriters / seo guys etc. can then fill the content through admin panel and then after testing I want to move it to client's server.

Frank it would be really nice of you if you show me the code. I know there's a plugin called BackupBuddy which offers the migration too, but especially on microsites or maybe some minor changes to the theme it's pricy for me. Nowadays when freelancer, odesk and others push the price for this side jobs so down I would need an effective solution.
