it\u2019s highly recommend you take the utmost care when making changes to your membership site, such as when updating and installing new plugins, adjusting or switching themes, or editing code. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thankfully, there are a few ways you can minimize the risk while working on your WordPress membership site, and that\u2019s exactly what we\u2019ll be covering in this article.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So if you\u2019re interested in preserving the reputation and integrity of your membership site, this guide on how to safely make changes is here to provide a few solid options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tools_and_Tips_for_Safely_Making_Changes_to_Your_WordPress_Membership_Site\"><\/span>Tools and Tips for Safely Making Changes to Your WordPress\nMembership Site <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you\u2019re charging members for access to your membership site or not, it\u2019s highly recommended you do all you can to make your website a safe, secure environment for users. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not only does this help keep existing members happy, it also helps\u00a0<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/memberpress.com\/how-to-turn-your-free-visitors-and-users-into-paid-members\/\" target=\"_blank\">encourage more of your visitors to become registered users<\/a>.\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By implementing the following features and putting our advice into practice, you should be able to keep your WordPress membership site running smoothly while you add new content, update software, and make other changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Implement_a_Robust_Backup_Schedule\"><\/span>Implement a Robust Backup Schedule <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Before you start making changes to your website\u2014even if you don\u2019t plan to make any changes in the foreseeable future\u2014you should enable automatic backups for your WordPress site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thankfully, it\u2019s never been easier to create an automatic WordPress website-backup schedule. Many web hosts now include this feature as standard, taking care of backing up your website for you as well making it easy to restore a backup should something go wrong. There are also countless free and paid plugins and services, such as\u00a0<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/updraftplus\/\" target=\"_blank\">UpdraftPlus<\/a> and\u00a0<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vaultpress.com\/features\/\" target=\"_blank\">VaultPress<\/a>, that let you take control of keeping your site backed up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whatever backup solution you decide to implement, be sure to test that you can take and restore backups without any problems before you start working on your site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Create_a_Staging_Site_for_Testing_and_Development\"><\/span>Create a Staging Site for Testing and Development<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-very-dark-gray-color\">Once your membership website can be instantly backed up, it\u2019s time to think about setting up a test or staging site where you can work in private. A staging or development environment allows you to quickly create a clone of your live site into a private area where you can test new plugins, experiment with code, and change your site in other ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then, once you\u2019ve finished testing, you can copy any changes to your live site in just a few clicks. Sure, you can do this all manually, but there are a few purpose-built staging tools out there designed to simplify the whole process and reduce the chance of anything going wrong. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If this sounds more sensible than treating your live membership site as a testing ground, our\u00a0<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/memberpress.com\/wordpress-membership-staging-site\/\" target=\"_blank\">guide to creating a WordPress staging site<\/a> includes a few recommendations for tools you can use to implement it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just remember to test everything thoroughly before transferring your work to the live site!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Put_Your_Site_into_Maintenance_Mode\"><\/span>Put Your Site into Maintenance Mode <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"582\" src=\"https:\/\/memberpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Safer-WordPress-Editing-Maintenance-Mode-1024x582.jpg\" alt=\"Maintenance Mode\" class=\"wp-image-17383\" srcset=\"https:\/\/memberpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Safer-WordPress-Editing-Maintenance-Mode-1024x582.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/memberpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Safer-WordPress-Editing-Maintenance-Mode-300x171.jpg 300w, https:\/\/memberpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Safer-WordPress-Editing-Maintenance-Mode-768x437.jpg 768w, https:\/\/memberpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Safer-WordPress-Editing-Maintenance-Mode-1536x873.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/memberpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Safer-WordPress-Editing-Maintenance-Mode-299x170.jpg 299w, https:\/\/memberpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Safer-WordPress-Editing-Maintenance-Mode-840x478.jpg 840w, https:\/\/memberpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Safer-WordPress-Editing-Maintenance-Mode-1203x684.jpg 1203w, https:\/\/memberpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Safer-WordPress-Editing-Maintenance-Mode-1811x1030.jpg 1811w, https:\/\/memberpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Safer-WordPress-Editing-Maintenance-Mode-700x398.jpg 700w, https:\/\/memberpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Safer-WordPress-Editing-Maintenance-Mode-156x89.jpg 156w, https:\/\/memberpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Safer-WordPress-Editing-Maintenance-Mode-1080x614.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/memberpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Safer-WordPress-Editing-Maintenance-Mode.jpg 2040w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks to modern technology and advances in the WordPress world, the process of restoring a backup or transferring a website is pretty foolproof. However, things can still go wrong, and for that reason, we recommend having access to a plugin that can quickly put your membership site into maintenance mode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although members and visitors might not appreciate seeing a maintenance message when they arrive at your site, that\u2019s better than a string of errors, broken login forms, and wonky formatting. With the right tool, like the free\u00a0<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-maintenance-mode\/\" target=\"_blank\">WP Maintenance Mode<\/a> or\u00a0<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/coming-soon\/\" target=\"_blank\">Coming Soon Page & Maintenance Mode by SeedProd<\/a> plugins, you can display a custom message for visitors while you make sure everything is working as it should.\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Use_Plugins_to_Manage_Code_Changes\"><\/span>Use Plugins to Manage Code Changes<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"752\" src=\"https:\/\/memberpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Safer-WordPress-Editing-PHP-Settings-1024x752.png\" alt=\"PHP Settings Plugin\" class=\"wp-image-17384\" srcset=\"https:\/\/memberpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Safer-WordPress-Editing-PHP-Settings-1024x752.png 1024w, https:\/\/memberpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Safer-WordPress-Editing-PHP-Settings-300x220.png 300w, https:\/\/memberpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Safer-WordPress-Editing-PHP-Settings-768x564.png 768w, https:\/\/memberpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Safer-WordPress-Editing-PHP-Settings-1536x1128.png 1536w, https:\/\/memberpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Safer-WordPress-Editing-PHP-Settings-232x170.png 232w, https:\/\/memberpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Safer-WordPress-Editing-PHP-Settings-836x614.png 836w, https:\/\/memberpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Safer-WordPress-Editing-PHP-Settings-931x684.png 931w, https:\/\/memberpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Safer-WordPress-Editing-PHP-Settings-1403x1030.png 1403w, https:\/\/memberpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Safer-WordPress-Editing-PHP-Settings-700x514.png 700w, https:\/\/memberpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Safer-WordPress-Editing-PHP-Settings-156x115.png 156w, https:\/\/memberpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Safer-WordPress-Editing-PHP-Settings-1080x793.png 1080w, https:\/\/memberpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Safer-WordPress-Editing-PHP-Settings.png 2040w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to change the way your WordPress membership site looks or functions, one option is to edit the underlying code of the themes and plugins you\u2019re using as well as the WordPress software code itself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As you may expect, editing this code can cause problems if you make a mistake. One way to reduce the chance of something going wrong, while also making it easy to backtrack should an issue arise, is to use a plugin to manage your code changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Free plugin tools like\u00a0<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/php-settings\/\" target=\"_blank\">PHP Settings<\/a>,\u00a0<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/my-custom-functions\/\" target=\"_blank\">My Custom Functions<\/a>, and\u00a0<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-config-file-editor\/\" target=\"_blank\">WP Config File Editor<\/a> let you make changes to the underlying code of your website through a visual interface. This not only gives you the ability to edit those files by clicking a checkbox instead of editing the code directly, it also stores the changes you make in an easy-to-find location should you need to undo your work in the future.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, if you are making code changes to your WordPress theme, creating a child theme is always a good idea because it prevents any updates to the theme overwriting your changes, and, as usual,\u00a0<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/child-theme-configurator\/\" target=\"_blank\">there\u2019s a free plugin<\/a> that makes creating a child theme straightforward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Track_Your_Website_Changes\"><\/span>Track Your Website Changes <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"582\" src=\"https:\/\/memberpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Safer-WordPress-Editing-Audit-Log-1024x582.png\" alt=\"Website changes audit log\" class=\"wp-image-17385\" srcset=\"https:\/\/memberpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Safer-WordPress-Editing-Audit-Log-1024x582.png 1024w, https:\/\/memberpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Safer-WordPress-Editing-Audit-Log-300x171.png 300w, https:\/\/memberpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Safer-WordPress-Editing-Audit-Log-768x437.png 768w, https:\/\/memberpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Safer-WordPress-Editing-Audit-Log-1536x873.png 1536w, https:\/\/memberpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Safer-WordPress-Editing-Audit-Log-299x170.png 299w, https:\/\/memberpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Safer-WordPress-Editing-Audit-Log-840x478.png 840w, https:\/\/memberpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Safer-WordPress-Editing-Audit-Log-1203x684.png 1203w, https:\/\/memberpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Safer-WordPress-Editing-Audit-Log-1811x1030.png 1811w, https:\/\/memberpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Safer-WordPress-Editing-Audit-Log-700x398.png 700w, https:\/\/memberpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Safer-WordPress-Editing-Audit-Log-156x89.png 156w, https:\/\/memberpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Safer-WordPress-Editing-Audit-Log-1080x614.png 1080w, https:\/\/memberpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Safer-WordPress-Editing-Audit-Log.png 2040w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>While some of the plugins we\u2019ve mentioned let you add new code and make changes to certain parts of your site through a custom area of your WordPress Dashboard, there are other changes you can make to your website that could also cause problems, like accidently deactivating a plugin, changing a theme setting by mistake, or inadvertently deleting a piece of content.\u00a0 When this happens, you or your members may realize something is wrong, but it might be difficult to tell exactly what the issue is and what caused it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By installing a free plugin like\u00a0<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-security-audit-log\/\" target=\"_blank\">WP Security Audit Log<\/a>, you can see the history of the changes made to your site in one central location. This plugin makes it easy to control what type of actions on your site are logged, helping you focus on just the important changes that may have negatively affected your site.\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And not only does a plugin like this help you spot any suspicious activity on your website, it also gives you a clear way to see a record of all the changes you and\/or others have made to your site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Keep_an_Eye_on_Your_Stats\"><\/span>Keep an Eye on Your Stats<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Even though you\u2019ve changed your site and everything seems to be running smoothly, your work isn\u2019t quite over. Depending on what changes you\u2019ve made, there are still a few things to keep an eye on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, if you\u2019ve changed to a new theme or adjusted the design of your site, you may want to keep a close eye on how visitors are engaging with the modifications. By using free software like Google Analytics, you can monitor bounce rate, pages per visit, and goal-conversion metrics to see if your changes have improved these stats or caused problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re not monitoring activity on your site with something like Google Analytics, you\u2019re missing out on invaluable insights as to how visitors behave. Get up to speed by reading our guide on\u00a0<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/memberpress.com\/how-to-use-google-analytics-to-optimize-your-membership-site\/\" target=\"_blank\">how to optimize your membership site with Google Analytics<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another useful metric to track is how quickly your website is loading. If you\u2019ve changed hosts, switched themes, or activated a new plugin, there\u2019s a chance your loading times have been negatively affected. Using a service like Pingdom provides you with real-time data\u00a0<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/memberpress.com\/check-monitor-performance-membership-site\/\" target=\"_blank\">on the performance of your website<\/a> and on whether the results are something you should be concerned about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Final_Thoughts\"><\/span>Final Thoughts <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the best reasons to\u00a0<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/memberpress.com\/wordpress-membership-plugins-versus-hosted-membership-solutions\/\" target=\"_blank\">choose WordPress over a hosted membership site solution<\/a> is the amount of freedom you get in managing your website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With WordPress, you can change pretty much everything about your site and with little difficulty. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, this freedom does come with responsibility. Due to the under-the-hood complexity of WordPress, things can go wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But by putting some of these practices into place, such as regularly performing backups on your website\u2014and testing these backups\u2014as well as carrying out development work on a staging server, you can minimize the risk of something going wrong as well as increase the chances of being able to rectify any issues should a problem arise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Which\nsteps will you implement to keep your WordPress website safe?<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you\u2019re getting signups for your membership site, it\u2019s vital you provide a positive user experience for your members.
