Manual Deployment

Building a website requires constant updates to themes, plugins, and the WordPress core itself. While automatic updates offer convenience, some situations call for a more controlled approach. WeWP’s Manual Deployment feature empowers you to take complete charge of your WordPress updates, ensuring a smooth and seamless website experience.

Why Choose Manual Deployment?

• Controlled Environment: Manual deployment gives you complete control over the update process. You can thoroughly test everything in a staging environment before pushing it live, minimizing the risk of unexpected issues on your website. This controlled approach offers peace of mind knowing you’re not making changes to your live site without prior verification.
• Scheduled rollouts: Planning a website update around site traffic patterns? With manual deployment, you can choose the perfect time to push the update live, ensuring minimal impact on your visitors.
• Customization: For complex website setups with multiple plugins and themes, manual deployment allows for a more granular update process. You can choose to update specific components or hold off on others until you’re ready.

How WeWP’s Manual Deployment Works:

WeWP’s Manual Deployment feature is designed for simplicity and ease of use. Here’s a clear walkthrough:

• Login to WeWP: Use your credentials to access your WeWP dashboard.
• Navigate to Git: Find the “Git” section on the left-hand panel.
• Choose Your Branch: Select the branch containing the website version you want to deploy.
• Click “Deploy Now”: Initiate the deployment process. It may take some time.
• Confirmation Notification: Once successful, you’ll receive a confirmation notification.

Benefits of WeWP’s Manual Deployment:

• Simplified Workflow: WeWP streamlines the manual deployment process, making it accessible even for non-technical users.
• Reduced Downtime: The efficient update process minimizes downtime for your website, ensuring a smooth user experience.
• Enhanced Security: By giving you control over updates, WeWP allows you to implement security patches at your convenience, keeping your site protected.
• Improved Performance: Regular updates often lead to performance improvements. Manual deployment empowers you to optimize your site’s performance on your terms.

Manual Deployment vs. Automatic Updates:

While both methods have their merits, manual deployment offers a more strategic approach to website updates. It’s ideal for users who:

• Want to test updates in a staging environment before pushing them live
• Have complex website setups with custom themes or plugins.
• Prefer to schedule updates around specific times.

WeWP’s manual deployment feature provides the perfect balance between convenience and control. You can leverage the benefits of automatic updates while having the flexibility to manage them on your terms.
