Overwrite an environment with another environment (creating a staging site)

To overwrite one environment with another on WPengine, you can follow these steps:

  1. Log in to your WPengine account and navigate to the environments page for the site you want to overwrite.
  2. Select the environment that you want to overwrite from the list of environments. This will be the destination environment.
  3. Click on the "Actions" dropdown menu and select "Overwrite Environment".
  4. In the "Overwrite Environment" dialog, select the environment that you want to use as the source for the overwrite. This will be the environment that you want to copy to the destination environment.
  5. Click on the "Overwrite Environment" button to start the overwrite process.

Note that this process will completely overwrite the destination environment with the contents of the source environment. Any changes or data that exist on the destination environment will be lost.
