Step 1:Log into your BlogVault account.


Step 2: On the BlogVault site listing page, select the website that you want to work on.

 



Step 3: It'll take you to the site details page. On this page, go under the Staging section, you will find the Merge option. Click this to begin the Merging process.




Step 4: BlogVault generates a page where you can view the differences between the staging site and the live site. You can cancel the Merging process at any time. You can also continue using the BlogVault dashboard by clicking the Return to Site Details Page.



Step 5: On this page, you can compare files and tables in the staging site and the live website.





The modified tables files on the list are already sorted under categories such as plugin, theme, core, uploads, and others, making it easy to review the changes. Additional information such as versions of each of your plugins and themes is also provided.


Step 6: You can view changes made to individual files, thus allowing you to review the file line by line. We don’t miss even a single change in the files on your staging site. You can click on View Diff to see the changes:




The files marked in Red have been Deleted in your Staging site.

The files marked in Green have been added to your Staging site Site Title/ URL.

The files marked in Blue have been Changed in your Staging site.


Step 7: Select the files, plugins, themes, and tables you want to migrate to the live site. This prevents any unwanted files from being copied to your live site. 


Step 8: Click on Next and enter the FTP/SFTP credentials of the Live site.




Step 9: Click on Continue, then select the folder of the WordPress install of the live site, In this case, its public_html, it can be different for different sites,




Step 10: Click on Continue, the merge will start,
