I have a couple of WordPress websites that I’m maintaining. The websites are on various git repositories (one for each site) with individual remotes.
Currently when there is a plugin update available etc I do the following:
- Sync up “non git” content (wp-content/uploads and database) with my local machine (if it has been a while since I’ve worked on that website)
- Update the plugin, theme WordPress, etc
- Add the changed files to git, commit and push them to the remote
- Login to the remote machine and git pull the changes
This works most of the time, but an edge case is being left out that I’m encountering:
If a plugin updates the database while upgrading , how can I run that database upgrade when/after I pull the changes?
Keep in mind that the live website by the time I pull the changes, has already changed.
Sorry if this question has been answered before.
