I have a client who wants some work doing to their website, so I have cloned the website onto a local instance on my PC to carry out the work. Once I’ve finished the work I was intending to export the finished site using WP migration and then overwriting the live site (after backing up, of course). However, the website has WooCommerce built in – how can I ensure that any orders etc accrued on the live site are not lost when I overwrite the website? TIA

What changes did you make, specifically?
As a general rule, in software development you never overwrite the production database with dev/staging (for obvious reasons). You only replace the data that needs replacing.
