René Hermenau

WordPress developer based in Northern Germany. Founder of WP STAGING, the staging, backup, and migration plugin running on more than 100,000 WP sites.

Building WordPress infrastructure since 2013. Started WP STAGING because I kept hitting the same problem on client work: there was no reliable way to clone a WordPress site for testing or migration without breaking serialized data, file paths, or media references. The free plugin is still maintained alongside the Pro version that handles full backups, multisite, and large database migration at scale.

Hands-on with the codebase, writing the docs at wp-staging.com/docs, and reading every issue on GitHub (github.com/wp-staging). Always interested in WordPress edge cases that broke a staging or backup tool you've used; those are usually the bugs worth fixing.

"When you touch code, leave it 10% better than before. And write a test."
