Set this installation as live will detach your staging and live site connection and then that staged site will be an independent site and you will not be able to push the staging site to live. Push to Live will copy the files and database from your staging site to the live site. 2. You can change that to anything you want. 3. Softaculous will create a new database with the database name that you choose on the Staging form and live and staging site will use separate databases. When you Push your Staging site to Live it will update your live site's database will the contents of your staging site's database and will copy the files of your staging site to your live site. 4. For https on your live site, you can go to "Edit Installation" page in Softaculous and change the URL to https and then login to WordPress admin panel and go to Settings -> General page and change the URL with https. For your staging site, you can also choose the protocol as https:// on the Staging form and it will set the URL as https:// for your Staged site. Let us know if you have any other questions. ----------------------- Webuzo - Multi User Hosting Control Panel AMPPS - Best WordPress/PHP/MySQL development tool

Set this installation as live will detach your staging and live site connection and then that staged site will be an independent site and you will not be able to push the staging site to live. Push to Live will copy the files and database from your staging site to the live site. Hi, what happens if one have chosen this option by mistake? How can one fix this problem? I was told that when I was ready to push to live I shouldn't mark the "Push database" since I didn't want to overwrite the current customer database, so I didn't. However, there were a bunch of fields below that referred to the database that I chose not to select being afraid of overwriting something. However, by doing this, the push to live didn't work. So I tried a second time and chose "Set this installation as live" instead, thinking it was the better choice. That's when I noticed it had separated both sites: production and staging. Now when I try to either backup or create a clone from the staging, I get an error saying that the installation already exists and I should uninstall it first. How can I solve this situation? I need the staging site to replace production without overwriting the database with members information! Can you help? Thank you!
