What are the best practices for making updates to a wordpress site? Do you just do it all directly in the editor on the live site?
I’ve tried making changes to a theme, adding some JS in a local wordpress setup, exporting it with the create block theme plugin, and then installing it on the production site. It seems to be a clunky process, causing issues like needing a menu regenerated and so forth.
This got me thinking that maybe exporting from local and installing a theme into production over and over is not the correct process. Do you usually only install a theme for a site once when starting out and then build onto it from there? And is there a proven process to stage style and JS changes somewhere and then loading it into production? What about version control? Is there a good way to track the comprehensive changes in git?
