After I publish a website, the next time I edit it publishes the updated changes on saving. This makes it so that I cannot have a staging site via saving the changes as a draft, you can only do this before publishing the page.
Save → Save Draft
This would make the work of updating a website, trying some stuff, logging out and in, showing the client to get approval, much easier. Right now the only way to do this is to duplicate the website, set it as a draft and make the changes there.
I really hope this gets added. Recently I discovered Breakdance has a Draft action for each element so that it shows in the builder but not the frontend, allowing you to design new sections for example and saving without affecting the frontend. I think that’s pretty awesome. I saw an article to add this to Bricks as extra code: https://brickslabs.com/draft-status-control-for-sections-in-bricks/
I always recommend using WPvivid for this.
In addition to backups, this offers image optimization and very fast staging in subfolders, which can also be written back with just one or two mouse clicks.
And for someone who wants to work with it for customers in the long term, the LTD’s are more than just fair.
The feature request is something that would be built into Bricks as a toggle though, not something needing an entire backup solution. Backups are important of course and helpful, but this feature request is for a way to save drafts using Bricks, as you can’t really do that currently. Saving changes makes it automatically published and seen in the frontend.
publishpress revisions are good solution for these if anyone needs it
I use this when I need it on the agency
Yes, there are many possible alternatives, but I like this complete package from WPvivd at a fair price for life.
I currently have the Small Business LTD, which I will soon upgrade to the Ultimate LTD, which is possible for a difference payment, because I don’t have any WordPress sites without WPvivid.
I also think that the time-controlled backup of my backups in my own Nextcloud is a “must have” for anyone who creates websites.
Great idea. I hope it gets some traction.
