[Hosting] Staging -> Production, more smoothly

1) Regenerate critical CSS in hummingbird automatically when migrating from staging to production.

Currently even database find/replace, static cache, object cache, and hummingbird’s deceptively titled “Clear all cache” commands don’t do the trick to fix background image URLs in that critical path CSS. Please make “Clear all cache” regenerate critical CSS, and trigger this command automatically when going live from staging.

2) Run a DB update automatically when migrating from production to staging. It’s a VERY safe assumption that you can change all instances of your staging URL to the production URL. (BSR finds hundreds of staging URLs every time I do this)

    Hi Karl

    I hope you are doing well.

    When we push the Staging to production and production to staging we do use the skip-plugins and skip-theme flags to avoid issues for example the search replace mess with emails, licenses etc, but the most important table where the pages and posts are stored should replace just well.

    Based on both description I feel like you are using a page builder such as Elementor maybe?

    I would like to run further testing, is it possible to let us know the most common plugins you use so we can try to replicate and report to our developers?

    Best Regards
