How to set up a staging site

Hi, @jzychik. The “common issue” above explains the steps required. Have you completed steps 1 and 2 there?

Those steps are:

  • Successfully Deploy the Branch to Netlify
  • Create the DNS record with your current DNS provider

If this is complete, please let us know the which site and branch the SSL certificate is required for.

Also, if you prefer, there is another way. You can make a new Netlify site linked to the same repo but select the “production” branch as being the branch you want to use for staging. The final step would be to add the custom domain to the new site.

If there are questions about either method, please let us know.
