It is always a good idea to have a staging site. Your staging site allows you to test custom code, new features, plugin upgrades, and bug fixes before you make changes on your live site.
Our guide on how to set up a staging environment is an important first read if you have decided to set up a new staging site for your membership.
The PMPro Toolkit Add On is very helpful for staging sites. Use it to anonymize your user data and subscriptions when this data is brought into the staging environment. This prevents the staging site from sending emails to your real users. It also prevents membership changes on the staging site from being synchronized to your gateway and affecting your real members.
