Q: Detailed Description of the Problem A:
since updating Dev Kinsta I cannot push my local files to staging without also selecting “database” . The checkbox for “Files” also happens to be not operational.
If I deselect “database” when I go to push changes, the option to push becomes greyed out.
I’m sorry to hear you’re having issues with the Selective Push for Files only in the latest release of DevKinsta. I was doing some testing on my own instance and I was actually able to replicate this behavior myself.
I’ve gone ahead and shared this with our developers so that they can hopefully shed some light on what might be going on here. We’ll keep you updated as new information becomes available!
Thank you for the update and we are happy to know that this is now working on your end.
If you have questions or need help with in the future, please feel free to reach out.
Hi, so it turns out this isn’t really fixed. Although I can push just “files” i can’t drill down and just select “themes” or subdirectories like that. In that instance the action button becomes greyed out again.
This is especially a problem because if I push all files, it overwrites any images that have been uploaded via wp-admin interface, which is why my workflow is to always only push my theme.
Another developer and I are working on a website for our team. We know the power of git, but pushing individual files from DevKinsta for quick fixes/bugs works best for us. We have built a custom theme and work in components/templates separately.
We would like to be able to push specific files rather than the entire wp-content folder and also not have to push the DB.
Is this possible? If not, could we put that on the road map as well?
Thank you for your replies and feedback! At the moment it does appear that to push files or subfolders within a directory the database also needs to be pushed with it.
We will certainly pass this along to our development team for consideration to be included in a future DevKinsta update.
If you do have any further questions or feedback you’d like to share please don’t hesitate to reply!
