WP Toolkit - Clone except tables xxx, but I want to clone pages
Hi,
Coming across an issue and I can't quite understand why this route was taken during design.
When I clone a staging site I'm given the option to clone tables "Except: jV3QiBj_postmeta, jV3QiBj_posts, jV3QiBj_usermeta, jV3QiBj_users"
But this also includes Pages....the main thing I'd have thought plenty of Wordpress users would want to be changing and updating.
At first I thought the clone tool was totally broken until I realised it was this setting causing the issue.
If I'm working on a staging site I totally get why I might not want users and posts overwritten from the staging site as it's out of date data.
But my Pages, the information I've actually been updating....that's what I want to update back to my live site.
Should these not be separate options on what information I want to update?

Hey there! I've reached out to the WordPress Toolkit team and I'll let you know what they have to say! 0 -
I've heard back from the WPT team, and they said this is due to the limitation of how WordPress stores data in the "_posts" table. There isn't an easy or automated way to split out posts and pages there. Apparently, you're the first person to mention this, so it doesn't seem like it's been a popular use case. 0 -
OK, thanks for getting back to me. I find it strange I'm the first to mention it. I know we all use Wordpress in different ways but I can't be the only person updating pages to then push to a live site :) 0
