The table of contents of my article:
1. Install WP Staging plugin.
2. Click “Create new staging site”.
3. Specify if you want to exclude database tables, files or folders (useful to deal with huge websites or simply to make the process faster).
4. Click “Start cloning” button to create a staging site.
5. Go to a new staging site’s WordPress administrator dashboard (1-click action). And do your tests on the staging site: install new plugins, update plugins, update theme, update WordPress version and do other changes if you need.
6. After you make sure the updates/installing did not break anything on your staging site, you can make necessary changes on your live website with no worries. These changes will not break anything now (install plugins, update plugins, theme, WordPress version etc).
7. You can remove the staging site. Or you can leave it till next time when you want to test installation or update of plugins, themes or WordPress version on this staging site.
