I have 2 sites and both have a live and staging environment. Let’s call them site1 and site 2. Site2 live is redirected to site1 live. We would like to clone/copy site1 live to site2 staging so that we can modify it for site2. Once staging is modified, we would like to remove the redirect on site2 live and push site2 staging to site2 live. What would be the best option(s) to accomplish? Would it be easiest to remove site 2 all together and clone site1 to site2 then modify? I suspect the redirect would need to be removed first. Right? Open to other suggestions/ideas.
Hi @ITSupport
Welcome to the Kinsta Community!
I believe the easiest approach would be to use the Kinsta Clone Site option. If you have a free slot available, you can clone the live Site1 to create a new live environment and then set up a new staging site from that if needed. Alternatively, as you mentioned, you could delete Site2 and use the Clone Site option to recreate it from the Site1 live environment. Otherwise, you would need to perform a manual migration. This can be done either by using a migration plugin or by utilizing SSH/SFTP to transfer the content from the Site1 live site to the existing Site2 staging site.
Thanks @Adrian_L , I think I am going to delete site2 and clone site1 to site2. It seems to be the cleanest way to duplicate.
