== Sync WordPress Sites ==

With the Toolkit you can You can synchronize the content of one website with another WordPress site. This will allow you to maintain a staging version of a site and a production version. This is a common practice allowing you to make changes in staging and not affect the site your customers see. Once you are ready to make the changes in production you may want to synchronize your WordPress sites.

=== To synchronize your data ===

# Go to Websites & Domains and click WordPress in the menu on the right.
# Click the Sync button next to the name of the WordPress installation you want to synchronize.
#:
#: [[File:WP_Sync.png|600px]]
#:
# Under "Destination WordPress Installation", select the destination WordPress installation you want to synchronize the data with. This WordPress installation may be related to the same or another subscription.
#:
#: [[File:WP_Sync2.png|600px]]
#:
# Under “Select Content to be Copied”, select which data you want to synchronize with the destination WordPress site:
#* “Files Only” - synchronize only the website files, including the WordPress core files and the files related to themes and plugins.
#* “Database Only” - synchronizes only the database. You can select to import all, new, or selected database tables.
#* “Files and Database” - synchronizes both the website files and the database. You can choose to import all, new, or selected database tables by selecting the corresponding option.
# When you are satisfied with the selected destination and the content to be synchronized, click OK.
# Before synchronizing WordPress instances, WordPress Toolkit suggests creating a restore point. You can use it to roll back the changes made during synchronization.
#: Caution: Every WordPress instance can only have a single restore point. Creating a restore point overwrites the existing restore point, if any.
# Click Start to begin synchronization.
The synchronization of WordPress instances has started.

Database synchronization
When you choose to synchronize databases (that is, you have selected either the Database Only or the Files and Database option), you need to specify which database tables you want to synchronize:

"All Tables" (the default option)
"New tables"
"Selected tables" - if you select this option, you can see the list of available database tables and select which ones you want to synchronize. If you want to synchronize all changes except for pages, posts, and users, you can select all database tables except the tables with the _postmeta, _posts, _username, and _users suffixes, by clicking the corresponding link.
