I am currently managing two WordPress sites:
A development site (dev.thedomain.com)
A production site (thedomain.com)
I am looking for a reliable solution to automatically synchronize posts from the development site to the production site as they are created and updated. We've tried several methods including WP Webhooks and various synchronization plugins, but we've either faced compatibility issues or found them lacking in reliability or necessary features.
Previously Attempted Solutions:
WpDataSync: This plugin was tried, but it ruined the database, leading to significant issues.
WP Sync For Posts: Attempted to use this for synchronization but it is not functioning at all.
Distributor Plugin: Currently trying this solution, but encountering persistent "no connection found" errors despite several troubleshooting attempts.
Requirements:
Real-Time Synchronization: As soon as a post is published or updated on the development site, it should appear on the production site.
Full Post Data Transfer: Need to include not just the text but also metadata, images, and other associated data.
High Reliability: The solution should handle errors gracefully and ensure data consistency without manual intervention.
Ease of Use: Preferably something that doesn’t require extensive coding to set up and maintain.
