The problem
Pushing a WordPress staging site live means overwriting the production database, which wipes the orders, comments and signups that arrived since you cloned it.
What we built
StagePatch records the changes you make on staging and applies only those changes to production, as a patch you can review first.

Capabilities
Everything StagePatch does today.
-
Patch, not merge
Staging records changes; live applies them. The same plugin runs in both modes, and no database is ever copied over another.
-
Allowlisted object types
Options, pages and posts with their meta, nav menus and items, terms and taxonomies, widgets, theme mods and the Customizer, media attachments.
-
Hard exclusions
Users, orders, refunds, subscriptions, sessions, transients, cron, comments and logs are never recorded or touched.
-
Stable identity across environments
Objects that existed at clone time share IDs; anything created afterwards gets a UUID. Nothing assumes IDs match.
-
A changelog you can read
One coalesced row per object with a field diff; include or exclude changes and group them into a batch.
-
Safe apply
Every apply is preceded by a dry run, a conflict check and a rollback snapshot. An unresolvable reference blocks that operation instead of guessing.
-
Dependency-ordered plan
Creates and updates run in dependency order; deletes run last with dependents first.
-
Signed patch bundles
Export a batch as a signed zip, import it on live, and see a three-column conflict view before anything is applied.
-
Undo
Every apply keeps a rollback snapshot of each touched object, so undo is one click.
-
WP-CLI
wp stagepatch batches, export, import, apply and rollback for scripted deploys.
Changelog

Checking whether a pixel fired means opening devtools and reading network requests by hand.
