Edited for clarity and to display steps we take to reproduce the issue. Question What would cause absolute URLs on our staging site to prepend the staging site's subdomain to them when saved in the editor? Summary We write pages manually in HTML and CSS on a staging site hosted on SiteGround, save our changes, then test them. However, when we save our work in the editor, they all prepend the staging subdomain we are writing on to each of …

I've created a website with Wordpress and the site is under a wpstaging.com domain at the moment. I have my main domain name and hosting with an external hosting company - nothing has be set up on that yet. I would like to find out how to go about changing the wpstaging.com domain name to the one I've got with the hosting company and moving the website over to the new domain name without damaging the current website.

I'm having trouble creating a staging site from an existing production site. When pulling media files using WP Migrate DB Pro 1.8.1 with the Media Files add-on v1.4.9, I can successfully populate my media library with the media from the original site, but for whatever reason all the paths are wrong - so pages with images pointing to /wordpress/wp-content/uploads/.../ cannot be found, because the image have all been pulled into /app/uploads/2018/.../. If anyone has come across this problem and has …

I have the following task and as it is a little different from most setups, I couldn't find any hints that solved my problem. WordPress for the live site was installed into a subfolder /wp1, the .htaccess directives are a rewrite to www and https followed by the usual WP directives: <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On # rewrite any request to the certified domain to use www RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301] # rewrite to HTTPS RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off …

I created a staging environment from my customers live wordpress website. now when I try to access it without being logged in as an admin, it redirects to the live "under construction" live site. Only on desktop. On mobile we can access it. I've been working this way for a long time and it is the first time I encounter this problem. I am using ELementor Pro builder and Jupiter X theme. I turned off Simple SSL plugin keeping the …

thanks in advance for any advice! My client has a live site currently hosted on GoDaddy. I am developing a redesigned site for him on Local. I don't like working on GoDaddy and have advised him to move the new site to a new webhost when it's time to take the new site live. I have set up a staging site on the new webhost so we can both easily make revisions to it. The new site is an entirely …

I am searching for a good solution in which i can develop a wordpress site on my localhost and push the changes i made easily to my live server. The idea is that i have some kind of plugin/software in which i just enter database and ftp credentials and i can just press "Push changes" and the changes get pushed from my local server to the remote server. Then i should have a full list of all the changes i …

Here's my setup. I have a Multisite instance running at http://example.com, and I want to do development and staging. Moving an existing Multisite instance of WP onto localhost is a nightmare, so I'm going to do dev on a staging location instead. I set up http://staging.example.com to point to the /public_html/staging/ directory of the hosting account, and copied all of the WP files from my root into the /staging/ directory. I also copied the database files (SQL dump, imported the …

I have Wordpress site at /var/www/contoso/html (contoso.com) running on a CentOS 8 server. I would like to run a new theme and make some frontend changes to it to make it match the look and feel of the old theme. I imagine that using a staging instance is the way to go. Is the proper approach to copy site files to /var/www/contoso-staging/html (dev.contoso.com) and use a copy of the database? Or would it be possible to simply create a read-only …

I have a WordPress site that has 13GB of content (I tried to export it using plugins), and I need to change its theme. I just want to migrate some existing content, like, just last month, to localhost so I can test some themes on it. Is there a way where I can do this? I already tried to use Import/Export features from WordPress, but there I can just migrate Posts and Authors, and I wish I could migrate the …

I have a WordPress site that has a bunch of posts, a bunch of pages and a bunch of products (Woocommerce ones). I Staged the site and made loads of changes to the pages on stage, meanwhile the live site posts and products grew and grew. Now I am ready to deploy the changes that I made to the pages on stage on to the live site, however, when I publish the "...posts" and the "...postmeta" tables they overwrite the …

Hello I am new to wordpress, our website was down (due to plugin update) I was not even able to access the admin panel due to this, so I went to the directory and copied from our staging directory (the only working directory) to the public_html directory (Production Directory). This did fix access to the website but now when I access the website the home page is referencing the correct directory (non staging) but when I navigate to any tabs …

we have a staging server in order to test out plugins and roll out new features and also re designing sites. The issue is that the staging version of the site will be out of sync as soon as new content is done on live site, or a new image is uploaded. What is the best way to keep the staging version in sync with the live one, including all posts, images and plugins as well as the whole database …

I have a development site which uses a different theme to the live site as well as a few extra plugins. I would like to make the dev site live whilst keeping all of the posts and previous plugins belonging to the live site. I do also have additional taxonomies, categories and custom posts types in the dev site. Not sure if this complicates matters. Thanks

We have a custom login and account creation plugin. It works fine on our live environment (example.com) but not on our staging environment (test.example.com). When we call wp_insert_user via an AJAX function, it successfully creates the user and returns their ID. wp_signon also appears to work. But in both cases, the user doesn't actually get logged in on the staging environment. After looking through Chrome's developer tools, I realized that the live environment is sending set-cookie: wordpress_logged_in_... like it's supposed …

I've been teaching myself web development and was given the chance to completely re-design a company website. The site itself is managed on WordPress which I have no experience in. So I would like to use this as a good opportunity to further develop my skills and learn more about CMS in general. The website is fairly oldskool and basic with minimal content and functionality. As far as I'm aware, it also doesn't use a database. So I believe it …

I set up a staging site from the live site with my hosting, A2 Hosting. The pages are all messed up, and in the browser console, I could see lots of mime type errors (photo for examples). The errors come from CSS and JS files from all the plugins and theme. I talked to hosting support, and they edited the .htaccess file to disable nosniff, so the browser can see what they really are. But now they are generating 404 …

I've been using WordPress for awhile now but one problem I'm constantly facing is creating a local clone of a production site so I can test changes/updates. My current process goes something like this... Run XAMPP Server Download the site files (Filzilla) Download the database (phpMyAdmin) Create a local database (phpMyAdmin) Copy site files into XAMPP Import database Update WP hostname, settings, etc My question is simple. Is it possible to automate this entire process? If not, what can be …

I am currently developing a news-style website. I am using Softaculous to build changes in a staging environment and then pushing to live when they are ready. Ideally, however, I would like to stage changes to the site's pages while simultaneously keeping the production site updated with articles (ie, posts and images). Changes I would like to stage, besides additional/edited pages, would be changes to themes and plugins. Ie, everything except posts an d the media library. Is there any …
