Staging Sites: A staging site is essentially a replica of your live (production) website, typically accessible only through a login panel. It’s a valuable resource for experimenting with new features or changes without risking disruptions to your live site.

How to Set Up a Staging Site:

• Manual Setup: Create a staging environment on your hosting account using a subdomain or subfolder, and manually clone your live site’s content. While requiring some technical knowledge, this approach offers flexibility.

Licensing Considerations:

According to Envato’s licensing policy, a single license can be used for one final site/domain. Staging sites are considered non-public and do not require additional licenses. However, it’s essential to ensure your staging site remains private.

Note: If your staging site aligns with any of our predefined patterns (e.g., registration, testing), it will be classified as a staging environment and won’t count towards your production site limit.
