Getting started

Complete the following steps to set up your WP Engine Autoscale environment.

📁 Step 1: Set up Git repository

Commit themes and plugins to a hosted Git repository that matches the structure of our starter template.

⚙️ Step 2: Configure pipeline

Connect this environment to your Git repository via a deployment pipeline.

🚢 Step 3: Deploy code

Trigger a deployment by making a commit to the Git branch associated with your pipeline.

↔️ Step 4: Transfer content

Transfer your site’s content (the database and uploads), in one of two ways:

1. The WP Engine Site Migration plugin can migrate content from a different site.
2. The WP Engine User Portal can copy content from another environment within the same site (best for moving between Development, Staging, and Production).

🎉 That’s it!

With a pipeline configured, code deployed, and content transferred, your Autoscale site is set up and ready for what’s next.
