I have a couple of questions about publishing an umbraco website using Visual studio then how to bring it back to Visual studio to make updates.
So I guess my question is;
I've just finished a website, I've published it in visual studio.... Uploaded the website files and database to my VPS and everything is working well.
Couple of months later my client wants me to make some addition development changes, however the version (Not the umbraco version, the website version) that would be on my visual studio to whats been published on VPS would be very out of date..... as they would of been making daily changes.
You can use your current VS project to make any updates.
However, If there exists some discrepancy then you can clean and rebuild the solution.
For more details could you share a screenshot please
If your users don't have access to change code themselves, you should be able to work in your local VS project and push changes without coming into conflicts.
However, I think what you're referring to is really about syncing up the database and all of the content locally as well.
In that case you can use the following steps:
Create a backup (.bak) of your live database
Pull the file down to your local machine
Restore your .bak file locally
Similarly, you'll want to pull down your media folder from your live site to your local one so that all of the images and files match up.
Publishing an umbraco website
Hello all,
I have a couple of questions about publishing an umbraco website using Visual studio then how to bring it back to Visual studio to make updates.
So I guess my question is;
I've just finished a website, I've published it in visual studio.... Uploaded the website files and database to my VPS and everything is working well.

So how do I bring this back into visual studio?
Sorry for the nooby question! :)
Best regards,
