Hello,

Is there a hosting company, no matter how big or small, that has a staging feature that allows for partial theme deployment? For example, if I have a 500 page site, I want the new theme deployed to only 100 pages/posts at a time? something of that nature?

I'm looking for a WP hosting in general with advanced staging abilities. I am currently with CloudWays and their technical support is so fucking stupid, it is a joke. WPX is a lot better, but they do not have a partial deployment feature. I don't want to deploy the entire theme at once on a large site since I have multiple first page rankings and I do not want to gamble on a theme change to 100% of the site.

Thanks,
DJ
 
Maybe you should also consider using a Plugin.
The feature you asked about seems very much like what a WordPress plugin would do
 
Most staging are a 1:1 clone of your main site and for a reason. They're there for you to run large scale tests on your sites, test everything and seamlessly push into prod.

For your specific use case, you will have to take the help of a third party plugin that will initiate a change right before the wp_head() function triggers.

Here is one that can do that - https://wordpress.org/plugins/jonradio-multiple-themes/

You may have to compromise a little on the speed of the site, as you're adding on to the additional load everytime WordPress generates a page on your website.

you can do that on subdomains. just install wordpress in each subdomain
 
staging is 100% replacement of your site.
I think what you want is more like a A/B testing plugin
 
bit dont understand, you mean you have 500 pages, and want each 100 pages have their own looks?
