将WordPress网站的更新版本从QA Server移到Live Server的实时站点

Question

I have a live WordPress website which is based on WooCommerce, now I have another website (uploaded on QA Server) which is updated version of live site, Some extra plugins also installed in it.

Now I have to replace live site with Updated version of it which is uploaded on QA Server, plus I have to save all transactions of live site (so replacing database is not a good option).

What to do?

Answer 1

1. Login to your QA server's wp-admin.
2. Then hover over => "Tools"
3. Click on export and then select "orders".

4. Then hit "Download Export File" button. You'll get an xml file as download.

5. Now move on to the LIVE site,login to admin panel.

6. Again hover over => "Tools"
7. Click on Import and then "Wordpress"
8. Then on file window select the exported xml file and you are done.

Transactions will be imported on the live site.

Answer 2

My favorite tool for migrating WP databases is: WP Migrate DB Pro

But the answer largely depends on what you've updated on the testing site. Using the above plugin you could pull all the database tables except wp_posts and wp_postmeta and that should get you any new options you've configured with your new plugins without overwriting your Orders.

Granted this means you would you not automatically pull in any new pages/posts/products, etc either. But for that could use the Import method described in sanki's answer.
