hi all, 

i'm looking for some help. 

i’m trying to deploy to a Wordpress site using Kronda Adair's (of karveldigital.com) very good instruction & video here —   https://karveldigital.com/how-to-deploy-wordpress-with-capistrano/, using the ruby gem Capistrano & wp-cli to deploy a site i have done to the customer’s site.

Kronda’s instruction in the video is really very good, but i think the problem is that when she made the video, it was Capistrano v2.x, and now it is v3.6.1 and a lot has changed with it. With Capistrano v3.6.1 (Rake v11.3.0) while trying to get a simple script to deploy, it keeps giving me the following error, each time: 

"Stage not set, please call something such as `cap production deploy`, where production is a stage you have defined." ... error. and yes, i've all ready gone into the Capfile and at the end put:  Rake::Task[:production].invoke - i still get the same stage setting error.

Any help on how to get this working with wp-cli & Capistrano v3.6.1, please, would be much appreciated.

best,

Hi Faddah,

You might be better served by roots.io whixh is an ansible2 based WordPress+wp-cli deployment tool which formerly used Capistrano and sounds a lot like what you're doing.

hi Lee, 

thank you for the response.

so is Capistrano + wp-cli not being really supported any more as a solution for migrating/transferring WordPress sites & their MySQL database?

i'll look at roots.io, but i'm hoping it's as simple an (alleged) set-up for migrating/transferring as Capistrano + wp-cli was supposed to be. i say "alleged" because of all the issues i've been having in just trying to make this work. and can anyone still please tell me why i am getting this

Stage not set, please call something such as `cap production deploy`, where production is a stage you have defined.

...error?

best,
