Hi everybody
I got a problem:
To develop my website I need to use some development server with other URL with my production.
Could you advise how to get the eventespresso plugin activated on the domain like
dev.mydomain.com if I have activated the plugin on my http://www.mydomain.com ?
Thank for some help!

Hi there,
You can download the plugin from your account page, install it on your development site and leave the key field empty in General Settings.
EE will function as normal on the development site but you will need manually update the plugin there.

The problem is that I have that website in production operations for a while so I need to get that current copy of the website including eventespresso content.
Is that possible?

Sure, you can use a plugin such as Duplicator to copy the site and create a development copy.

And finally
One of the tasks from client is:
Please update all plugins on the dev server and make sure it works fine BEFORE updating the production.
So a single way to be sure if the plugin was updated correctly in to do it on the production? Am I right?

I’m not really sure what you are asking.
Please update all plugins on the dev server and make sure it works fine BEFORE updating the production.
This is standard practice and should always be done for any updates, not just EE, but all plugins/themes.
So a single way to be sure if the plugin was updated correctly in to do it on the production? Am I right?
If you are asking if the only way to know if the plugin updated correctly is on the production site then the simple answer is yes, but thats the same for every dev/live setup. You can minimize the differences between the dev and live sites, use the same server on a subdomain for dev for example.
