WP STAGING – Backups & Restore, Migration & Clone Plugin – Cloud Backups, Scheduled Backups

Änderungsprotokoll

4.16.0

• New: Add „Create Blank WP Site“ option that installs a fresh WordPress instead of cloning the live site. (Pro) #2959
• New: Add opt-in low disk space mode for Remote Sync pull that creates and transfers the backup in capped parts, so the source site no longer needs free disk space for the whole backup. #5317
• New: Preview and map subsite URLs when cloning and pushing. (Pro) #5898
• Enh: Duplicate an FTP / SFTP storage profile, so a second destination on the same server needs no retyped connection details. (Pro) #6506
• Enh: FTP / SFTP settings move to a new place on update, so going back to an older version needs them entered again. #5946
• Enh: Keep FTP / SFTP destinations out of staging sites, so production credentials are not copied to a clone. #5946
• Enh: Load remote storage code only for WP STAGING requests. (Pro) #3879
• Enh: Refuse to save an FTP / SFTP profile into a folder another profile already uses on the same server. (Pro) #6506
• Enh: Support multiple independent FTP / SFTP storage profiles per site. #5946
• Fix: Backups no longer fail their own integrity check when their size lands just below a power of ten. #6480
• Fix: Cancelling a backup started from the first-run screen now closes the progress window and offers the choice again, instead of leaving the window open and failing on a second attempt. #6406
• Fix: Delete every wpstg_staging_sites_backup_ option when the plugin is uninstalled. #6185
• Fix: Delete the backups a plan no longer keeps once the new one exists, so a plan that keeps a single backup is never left without one. #6359
• Fix: Delete the temporary copy of the staging site’s storage credentials when an update cannot restore it, and on uninstall. #6263
• Fix: Exclude the background-processing queue table from staging site clones. #6362
• Fix: Expect the storage profile AJAX callbacks in the storage service provider test, so master’s unit tests pass again. #6550
• Fix: Give the backup a plan makes with Create backup now the plan’s schedule id, so the plan counts that backup toward the number of backups it keeps, rotates it away in its turn, and reports it as its last run. #6462
• Fix: Honour WP-CLI options written with a leading double dash and report unknown ones. #6413
• Fix: Keep rebuilding the backup cron events when one backup plan’s schedule id is not a string. #6370
• Fix: Keep the „Cancelling & Cleaning up“ modal after cancelling a backup restore instead of reporting the job as cancelled from another page. #6620
• Fix: Keep the Next-Gen transfer method selected after a push. (Pro) #6527
• Fix: Make WP-CLI staging-site-create honour its database and other advanced options. (Pro) #6257
• Fix: Name the missing automatic login endpoint instead of blaming a firewall when the staging site runs WP STAGING Free. #6222
• Fix: Prevent duplicated domain suffixes and preserve escaped page-builder URLs when restoring backups. (Pro) #3439
• Fix: Protect updates clicked before the page finishes loading. #6337
• Fix: Record the actual reason a Remote Sync authentication failed instead of one generic message. #5505
• Fix: Reduce temporary files created during backups. #2037
• Fix: Refuse cloning to a target directory PHP cannot read instead of failing with a fatal error. #6494
• Fix: Refuse creating a staging site when its destination table prefix is already in use. #6220
• Fix: Refuse to back up a subsite in the WP-CLI backup-create command when it is archived, suspended or deleted, or belongs to another network. #6384
• Fix: Regenerate Elementor CSS after restoring a backup or syncing a database with Remote Sync. #6251
• Fix: Report a cancellation that cannot finish instead of asking the server about it for ever. #6422
• Fix: Say which task could not be built instead of blaming disk space, and keep the object that came back out of the error report. #6277
• Fix: Select custom folders under wp-content by default when pushing, so a push no longer leaves them behind without saying so. #6157
• Fix: Show actionable guidance for Error 429 during backup uploads. #1162
• Fix: Show only one label at a time on the backup „Contains“ icons, instead of leaving several overlapping. #5381
• Fix: Stop a cancelled backup, staging site or push from logging the request the cancel aborted to the browser console, and report an error a finished job runs into while it closes down instead of swallowing it. #6007
• Fix: Stop an interrupted clone from leaving a live WordPress in the staging folder wired to the production database. #6145
• Fix: Stop an unchanged save of a backup plan from restarting the point its runs are counted from, so a missed backup stays reported. (Pro) #6409
• Fix: Stop counting failed Remote Sync authentications as sync attempts in usage analytics. #5505
• Fix: Stop reporting a backup restore as failed when its status check fails right after pressing Cancel. #6620
• Fix: Stop the WP-CLI backup-create command from backing up a different subsite than the one subsite_blog_id names. #6384
• Fix: The Create Backup modal no longer opens by itself on the backup page of a site that stopped running WP Staging Pro. #6613
• Fix: The Upload Backup to Cloud and Create Backup modals no longer reopen by themselves after saving cloud storage settings that did not leave the page. (Pro) #6613
• UX: Show „Always on“ in the staging summary for isolation controls that only Pro can turn off. #5987
• Tweak: Create a full-site backup before pushing to production. (Pro) #5240
• Tweak: Explain why uninstall keeps staging sites and backups. #6155
• Dev: Align AGENTS.md with the house rules in CLAUDE.md, so Copilot and Codex follow the same changelog, test, comment and code style rules. #6510
• Dev: Align the code-style guide and the test docs with CLAUDE.md. #6515
• Dev: Apply the blocked label from the lifecycle controller in place of fast-tests-failed and fast-tests-cancelled. #6592
• Dev: Apply the review-role labels from the lifecycle controller and take an unsupported ready-to-merge off. #6601
• Dev: Ask Copilot for its review from the lifecycle controller when nobody did. #6644
• Dev: Ask for the kind and the reproduction in the pull request template, so a pull request filled in by hand can satisfy the merge-readiness status. #6560
• Dev: Ask the author for the missing Follow-up owed line, not another fix, when every open review finding is already reported fixed and waits on the reviewer. #6591
• Dev: Ask the reviewer a second approval waits for to review the head, and name them in the merge-readiness status. #6614
• Dev: Bring the process docs and diagrams in line with the lifecycle controller. #6678
• Dev: Build WP Staging Free during make reset when dist/wp-staging holds no complete build, so WP Staging Pro can activate it on the dev sites. #6103
• Dev: Build the JavaScript the fast-test browser fixture serves, so a Playwright run cannot silently test a stale bundle. #6457
• Dev: Cap a review at 25 lines and name the defect in each finding title. #6594
• Dev: Check each open pull request’s labels against its reviews, checks and holds, and report where they disagree, without writing any. #6525
• Dev: Check every SCSS file with Prettier, not only those one folder deep. #6509
• Dev: Check the translation template on every push to master, so a stale template is reported against the merge that introduced it instead of being discovered in an unrelated pull request. #6312
• Dev: Claim a GitHub issue before starting on it, and take several off the backlog with one command. #6394
• Dev: Continue HIGH PRIORITY reviews into fixing verified blockers. #6448
• Dev: Correct fast-test label and WordPress 7.0 RC documentation. #6537
• Dev: Count the project owner’s skip-tests in the lifecycle controller, so merge-readiness can pass on a pull request merged without a test run. #6576
• Dev: Credit a fast-tests status only when GitHub Actions posted it. #6606
• Dev: Delete CI artifacts that a newer run or a closed pull request made obsolete, and keep the E2E packages for three days instead of fourteen. #6634
• Dev: Describe the pull request workflow in plain words with its diagrams, count the E2E rounds the controller dispatches, and let the author verify every review fix and feature. #6622
• Dev: Fail loudly when the Free fixture switch cannot read a version or a worktree E2E run skips every test, and restore the edition when a run is interrupted. #6392
• Dev: Generate the translation template without committing it in PRs. #6481
• Dev: Keep AGENTS.md and CLAUDE.md from contradicting each other. #6562
• Dev: Keep Playwright traces only for failed tests, which shrinks the report a failed E2E suite uploads. #6638
• Dev: Keep a review finding open when the author asks the wrong reviewer back for it. #6589
• Dev: Keep a review round whose holders already read the head, and read re-review signatures and bare approvals as follow-ups. #6646
• Dev: Keep a role review counting when the round moves to a new commit before the other review is in. #6669
• Dev: Label unit-test results as unit-baseline-passed and unit-full-matrix-passed, the names the lifecycle controller reads, instead of the fast-tests-passed family. #6574
• Dev: Let a reviewer hold a review role on request without joining the assignment rotation. #6615
• Dev: Let the author close a role-review finding that carries no Verify line, as review-procedure § 10 says, instead of holding it for a reviewer follow-up. #6587
• Dev: Let the author close every finding the hand-back reports fixed or dismisses, and never wait on a follow-up the PR asked for. #6653
• Dev: Let the author verify most review fixes and owe a follow-up only to the reviewer who raised the finding. #6533
• Dev: Let the project owner’s skip-reviews label lift the review roles, and have the lifecycle controller apply ready-to-merge to routine work once every gate passes. #6568
• Dev: Limit review findings to blockers and performance or UX gains. #6536
• Dev: List Pro-only changes in their own section of the wordpress.org release notes instead of dropping them. #6510
• Dev: Merge the labels that meant the same thing and name each one once in the skills, the controller and its policy. #6572
• Dev: Move the release procedure from the project slash command into .agents/skills, so every agent working in this repository can read and follow it. #6464
• Dev: Publish the lifecycle controller’s merge-readiness verdict as an advisory commit status on each open pull request’s head. #6548
• Dev: Queue the lifecycle controller’s runs instead of cancelling them, and keep merge-readiness from waiting on GitHub’s own blocked or unknown merge state. #6554
• Dev: Rebuild the stale Pro build before make tests_e2e serves it after a PHP edit. #6490
• Dev: Record a human verification of a feature on its head, and report the merge-eligibility and merge-readiness results it gates, without writing any. #6534
• Dev: Remove dead Selenium leftovers from the test tooling and repair make targets that cannot run. #6521
• Dev: Remove the inactive Kanban workflow and retire the unused in-progress label. #6604
• Dev: Remove the staging site the missing login endpoint E2E test left in the site root, which grew the full-site backup before push past the backup explorer’s memory limit. #6659
• Dev: Require every fix pull request to record whether it is a regression, what introduced it and which release shipped it. #6451
• Dev: Require the human verification of a feature to cover its whole workflow, and keep agents from recording it. #6610
• Dev: Rewrite the Copilot instructions as review rules, with path-specific rules and a code-review skill. #6502
• Dev: Rewrite the developer docs that still described the removed Selenium browser suite. #6516
• Dev: Run Fast tests on pull requests again by keeping the job results out of the size-limited verdict script expression. #6585
• Dev: Run the Flywheel and WordPress.com E2E suites nightly instead of on every Pro round. #6458
• Dev: Run the full PHP matrix once per pull request head: every push tests PHP 7.4 and 8.3, and the fast-tests label adds only the versions that head has not passed yet. #6520
• Dev: Run the lifecycle controller on runners of its own, so it never queues behind the tests. #6668
• Dev: Run the lifecycle controller’s job on the self-hosted xsimulator fleet instead of a paid Blacksmith runner. #6563
• Dev: Say in the review procedure that make tests_web and make tests_e2e rebuild a stale Pro build by themselves. #6485
• Dev: Set GitHub’s review state when a signed role review is posted. #6674
• Dev: Skip TickLockTest’s exclusivity checks where flock is not exclusive, such as the macOS Docker bind mount. #6523
• Dev: Spend the full fast-tests matrix only after a pull request has been reviewed. #6485
• Dev: Split pull request reviews into a correctness role and a workflow role, each held by its own assigned developer. #6485
• Dev: Start the owed E2E round from the lifecycle controller instead of waiting for a trigger label. #6596
• Dev: Stop a second WordPress version from cancelling an E2E workflow run dispatched on the same branch and PHP version. #6511
