Question:
How do I make the testing site my live site?
Product:
Wix Editor
What are you trying to achieve:
My client wanted to make changes to his website, so I duplicated the site so we could make and preview updates with disrupting the current live site. All changes are done. Now how do I make the ‘duplicated testing site’ our live website?
Hi, @Jason_Moyer !!
So, does that mean that instead of using Wix’s test site feature, you manually duplicated the site to create a test version? If that’s the case, wouldn’t it be enough to simply transfer the premium plan and custom domain to the new site? 
If the domain is temporarily disconnected, please reassign it to the new site.
Hi Onemoretime, thank you for the reply. Yes, I manually duplicated the site. I guess that shows how much of a newb I am to WIX that I had no idea there was a ‘test site feature’. I would have loved to have known that. Oh well, I will remember that for next time.
I do see where I can transfer the Premium plan and domain to the new site. However, to transfer the Premium plan WIX wants me to update the payment info to a method that belongs to me. My concern is my client just renewed the subscription plan for the next 3 years. Will updating the payment method that belongs to me do anything to jeopardize the existing 3-year prepaid plan? Thanks!
The test site feature was added relatively recently, so you don’t need to worry about it too much.
However, it’s a very useful feature, so it’s good to keep it in mind. Hmm, as for how premium plans work, I don’t have much experience with them, so I’m not confident I can give you a definitive answer. That said, the link below might be helpful. Alternatively, reaching out to Wix support (Help Center? Customer Care?) would be the first option. Or, asking the manager of this forum might be the best way to get a definitive answer! 
In any case, the situation you’re facing is something that happens almost daily in the Wix community, so there’s definitely a solution out there. That’s why I don’t think you need to worry too much! 
Hi Onemoretime. Just wanted to let you know transferring the premium plan to the duplicated (test site) worked great. Thank you for your advice. Jason
