Pulling & Pushing Files

Paid Add-on

Blaze Sync requires the Blaze Sync companion plugin installed on your remote WordPress site. The plugin is available for purchase at wolfdevs.com.

Once you’ve connected a remote site, you can pull files down for local development or push your local changes to the remote server.

Selecting a Sync Path

Before syncing, choose what to sync from the Sync Path dropdown:

Path	What It Syncs
Site Root	Entire WordPress installation
wp-content	Themes, plugins, uploads, and other content
wp-content/themes	Only themes
wp-content/plugins	Only plugins
Custom	Browse the remote directory tree and select a specific folder

For most development workflows, syncing wp-content or a specific theme/plugin directory is recommended over syncing the entire site root.

Pulling from Remote

1. Open the remote site from the sidebar
2. Go to the “Sync” tab
3. Select your sync path
4. Click “Pull”
5. Review the sync preview — it shows which files will be added, modified, or deleted locally
6. Confirm to start the sync

Pushing to Remote

1. Open the remote site from the sidebar
2. Go to the “Sync” tab
3. Select your sync path
4. Click “Push”
5. Review the sync preview — it shows which files will be added, modified, or deleted on the remote server
6. Confirm to start the sync

Sync Preview

Before any sync operation, Blaze shows a preview of all changes. Review this carefully — pushed files will overwrite remote files, and pulled files will overwrite local files.

Sync History

The Sync tab shows a log of past sync operations, including timestamps and the number of files transferred.
