Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site. Why active installs don’t tell the whole story →

Overview
About this plugin
Simply define your production url in settings and copy your site to your staging instance without fear. The staging site won’t send any emails and won’t process any payments.
Why should I use the plugin
If you host your site on a managed host that provides a staging instance (WP Engine, Siteground, and others), or if you run a staging instance for a self-hosted website, you may have found that WordPress and WooCommerce will automatically send emails and process payments from the staging site. ”
Instead, install this plugin in production, set the production URL, and safely copy your site to and from staging. No other steps needed!
Features on Staging
A “noindex” tag is added to all pages. Your staging site won’t show up in Google.

The WooCommerce checkout page has a warning message notifying the visitor they are viewing the staging site.
WooCommerce payment gateways are suspended. Bank account transfer, Cash on Delivery and Check are left enabled. Stripe is automatically put into test mode.
WooCommerce Subscriptions is put into staging mode.
