WordPress Development Site Bouncer

Allows developers to run secondary copies of WordPress sites that redirect non-developers to the main site.

Useful for creating and managing development environments where regular visitors should not have access to the site, but the developer would like the ability to see theme or plugin changes before going live with them. Also prevents development sites from being seen and spidered by search engines.

= Instructions: =

1. Step 1

• Download plugin file from WordPress.org.

2. Upload the Plugin Files

• If you regularly sync your live DB to a testing DB, you will want to install and activate the plugin on your live server. That way db syncs will keep track of the saved settings on live, and will always redirect users back to the live.

3. Activate the Plugin

• Browse in the WordPress admin interface to the plugin activation page and activate the plugin.

4. Configure Live Hostname

• The plugin will add a new WordPress menu item under Tools called Development Site. Go there and configure the Live Hostname.
