How do you professionally manage updates to a WordPress site using beta/staging and production environments?

[ad_1]

I’m a developer with a few WordPress sites that I manage for clients. This is a professional environment where we have strict testing/development on a staging server before going live after approval. Additionally, we have designers that are not super technical that design pages using page builders on the beta sites.

I’m wondering what methods people use to manage their updates to these types of sites in their organizations.

The challenge that I have is that we have some aspects of the site are under development (i.e. certain pages) and other pages are approved to go live. Simply copying the database and files isn’t really an option when we don’t want the entire beta site going live.

Right now I copy the HTML output from the page builder to the new live server page. It’s not really great — and I wish I could have a continuous integration like I do with my Git/Laravel apps. What do you do?
