Question

In a wordpress installation we want to have our main site, and a staging site separated and different. Where in the admin interface you separate your staging area?

Let’s say:

for production you will have: http://www.yourdomain.com/

but for staging we want to have: http://www.yourdomain.com/staging

Staging is the website that will be in production next.

Any ideas?

With WordPress 3.0+ you might be able to create a network of sites or install multiple sites with an older version of WordPress. The catch is I don’t know of an easy way of moving the staging to production. I’m not entirely sure that will do what you want, but you may want to look into it.

Personally I’d think you’d probably be better off keeping your staging and production sites on 2 different servers and just do a copy over when you move to production.
