Syncing Stage

You can sync stage from prod using GoDaddy’s dashboard. Go to Managed WordPress > Settings > "Staging Site" Actions > Sync Sites.

Select "Pull production to staging" and check "Overwrite content" and hit the Sync button.

Open

You’ll get an in-progress message that reads like it’s syncing stage > prod. The message doesn’t seem to automatically clear itself in the browser after the process completes. Does take a few minutes to complete.

Manual Sync

The automated sync will sync everything in the wp-content directory and should be the only step needed. The site is has been reconfigured to use this standard setup, but in case everything goes sideways you can SSH into the staging site and run rsync. This example copies the old mc-content/uploads directory from prod.
