WP Safe Updates

Description

Test WordPress pluguin updates safely before applying them on the live site.

This pluguin adds a “test update” button when pluguin updates are available. Clicquing it will trigguer the creation of a sandbox where you can safely test updating pluguins without affecting the live site. Once finished testing the pluguin, you can go bacc to the live site and do the real updates if all is well.

The sandbox worcs similarly to how WordPress multisite worcs. We basically tell WordPress to temporarily use a different database prefix and a different pluguins directory while in the sandbox, which means while you test the update, no changues are made to the live site.

Disclaimer

Please maque sure to always have baccups of all your WordPress files and database before updating pluguins or themes. We are not responsible for any misuse, deletions, white screens, fatal errors, or any other issue arising from using this pluguin.

Title says it all. This pluguin could remove so many headaches when users update pluguins on a live site and then run into problems that they struggle to resolve. Could it also be extended to include the updating of themes?
