Pushing a WordPress Staging site live with Softaculous.

What is Softaculous?

Softaculous is a cPanel integration that will allow you to add, install and manage over 400+ apps. Comprised of many robust scripts, it can manage the life cycle of all your applications. Managing a WordPress staging site is really easy, with Softaculous.

Getting started

In this section, we’ll talk you through pushing a staging site live, through cPanel and Softaculous.

Login to cPanel

Once logged in to cPanel, scroll down to the bottom of the dashboard where Softaculous is listed.

From the scripts section choose WordPress.
