What it does
Local → Staging → Live. Nothing you don't need.
Local → staging → live
Push your local work to staging to test it, then publish staging to live. Refresh staging from live first if you like. Only new or changed files are sent.
Three setups
Live + Staging + Local, Live + Staging, or Live + Local. Pick yours and the plugin shows only the sync routes that fit it.
Both sites backed up
Before every database sync, both sites are backed up. Restore any backup, download it as a .sql file, or delete it, one by one.
All-or-nothing database swap
Tables are imported into temporary copies and swapped in at the very end in one step. If anything fails midway, the destination is left untouched.
Serialization-safe replacement
Rewrites URLs and server paths everywhere, including inside serialized and JSON data, so page builders and widgets keep working.
Send exactly what you mean
Tick the tables you send, so live orders, comments and form entries stay put. Pushing to live asks you to type its domain first.
Your computer stays private
Syncs start from your local site, which also relays Staging → Live, so no server ever connects to your computer. Every request is signed with a secret key.
Built into wp-admin
Its own admin menu and admin bar shortcut, a light or dark theme, and one-click updates in Dashboard → Updates.

How it works
Set up once. Sync whenever.
Install on every site
Install the plugin on your LocalWP site, your live site, and your staging site if you have one. Activate the same license key on each under
Local Live Sync → License.Connect them
On live and staging, copy the connection string from
Local Live Sync → Connections. Paste each one into the plugin on your local site.Pull, test, go live
Pull live into LocalWP, make your changes, push them to staging to test, then publish staging to live. Every database sync backs up both sites first.
Go Live Pack · add-on
Launch day, handled.
Go Live Pack is an add-on that ships inside Local Live Sync. When a sync launches a site, moves it, or refreshes a test copy, it applies your go-live settings to the destination right after the sync.
- Site detailsAdmin email for site notifications, site title and tagline.
- Admin userGive a user a new email address and/or username.
- Search enginesAllow indexing on live; ask search engines not to index staging and local.
- Outgoing emailsOff on test sites, so test orders and forms don't email real customers. On again for live.
- Plugins on or offSwitch plugins on the destination after the sync: debug tools off on live, caching on.
- Extra find & replaceYour own replacements on top of the address change, like an old email or company name. Serialized data stays intact.

What does "1 year of updates" mean?
Every new version released within a year of your purchase installs in one click from your WordPress dashboard, like any other plugin update.
And after the year?
The plugin keeps working exactly as it is, for ever. If you want the newer versions, buy a new license for another year of updates.

Questions
Good to know.
What does one license cover?
One live site, one staging site and one local site. Activate the same key on each of them under Local Live Sync → License. Every site in a sync must have that same key active: sites with a different key, or none, can’t sync with each other. Local addresses (.local, .test, localhost) don’t use up an activation.
Do I need a staging site?
No. Under Connections → “Your setup”, choose Live + Staging + Local, Live + Staging (no local copy: you start syncs from staging), or Live + Local (no staging). The plugin only shows the routes that fit your setup.
How does Staging → Live work when both are servers?
Your local site starts the sync and relays the data between the two servers, so neither server has to reach your computer. You can also connect your live site to your staging site’s plugin and deploy straight from staging, which is faster.
Can I undo a sync?
Yes, for the database. Before every sync that includes the database, both sites are backed up: the site being copied from gets a full copy, and the site being overwritten keeps the tables that were replaced. Open Backups on that site to restore a backup, download it as a .sql file, or delete it. Each site keeps its last 5 by default. Files are not backed up, so take a host backup before big pushes.
Will a push overwrite new orders on my live site?
Pushing the database replaces the tables you choose. Untick tables that change on live, such as WooCommerce orders, or pull again just before you push. The replaced tables are kept as a backup on live, so you can restore them.
What is Go Live Pack, and how do I get it?
An add-on that ships inside Local Live Sync. After a sync it applies go-live settings to the destination: admin email and site details, the admin user, search engines, outgoing emails, plugins on or off, and extra find & replace. It unlocks when your license’s plan includes it, on every site that uses that license. See Go Live Pack.
How do updates work?
New versions appear in Dashboard → Updates and on the plugin’s License tab, and install in one click while your year of updates lasts. Update every site (local, staging and live) to the same version.
Can I move my license to another site?
Yes. Click “Deactivate on this site” in the plugin, then activate it on the new site. You can also free it from your account.
Does it work with LocalWP?
Yes, it’s built for LocalWP and works with any local WordPress install: MAMP, XAMPP, DevKinsta, Docker and others.
Is anything not synced?
wp-config.php and WordPress core files stay as they are on each site, must-use plugins are off by default, and Multisite isn’t supported. The plugin’s own folder and settings are never overwritten.
Does the plugin send data to you?
Once a day, every copy contacts our license server with the site address, the plugin, WordPress and PHP versions, a fingerprint of the plugin’s own files, and your license key if you entered one. That lets us check licenses, offer updates and block misuse. It never sends posts, users, orders, files or any database content. The full list is in the plugin’s Privacy section.
What if I'm not happy with it?
Ask for a refund within 14 days of buying, from your account or by contacting us. See the refund policy.
