Upload localhost changes to live server

  • If you make a change on a page using WordPress itself (not using the “Appearance > Editor”), these changes will be stored in the mysql database. To move this over to your live wordpress, you will need to move your local database over to your live database.**

  • If you only make a change directly under a theme, lets say you make a new button or change the color of links in the stylesheet.css file (or generally use the “Appearance > Editor”). Then you need to move/replace the existing files on your live wordpress server with the newly changed files on your local wordpress server.***

** Moving a local wordpress database server over to a live wordpress database server may result in loss of pages/posts/comments made by other people using your live wordpress server.

*** You can use a version-control system as git to have control over your local wordpress system and your live wordpress system, this way you can keep track of what you change, and implement it with ease to your live wordpress system.

It is possible to have a wordpress development environment but you are limited to knowing exactly what you changed (especially on the database side) and it can be troublesome to implement it to the live wordpress environment.
