Keeping a local and remote WordPress installation in sync is no easy feat. Syncing the file structure is no problem, but keeping the databases in sync seems to be the real obstacle. Is there a reliable way to keep a local WordPress installation in sync with a remote installation, including the database? Using a build script seems to be a viable approach, but I was wondering if there is a more obvious approach that I overlooked.
Keep WordPress (local and remote) in sync
Keeping DBs in sync is not a trivial task. Importing and overwriting the local DB with the live DB every x number of days seems like a logical approach if you don’t mind losing local changes.
Keeping the codebase in sync should be achievable with any D/VCS (git, subversion) or even good ol’ rsync
