I recently inherited a project from a previous developer. It is essentially a rebranding of an existing ecommerce website.
​
The company uses WP Engine, so the production environment was cloned and the previous dev began work on the dev environment within WP Engine. While that work was underway for the last 6 months, the production site has continued to function and receive new orders, had new products uploaded, new users added, pretty much everything has continued.
​
We’re now getting ready to launch the new version of the site, but I first need to bring down any new users/orders/etc, that were added to the production site in the meantime.
​
To add a small addition level of complexity, the site does utilize custom user roles/groups using the the [Members plugin]) and the [Groups plugin]).
​
My current thoughts are that I’ll need to do users first, then the orders. Even then some of the User IDs wont 100% match, as the dev site has had user IDs generated for various plugin developers, etc.
So if the User ID on production is 1000, and that ties to 5 woocommerce orders, but user ID on dev for #1000 was a temp admin account, won’t that cause issues when I export the orders? Where the 5 orders would be connected to the temp admin account and the new ID for the production #1000 would be #1050 or something?
