Hi,
I would like to create a staging website from the original website. A year ago I had already done this and it went perfectly. This one I also deleted back in the days so I wanted to create a new one.
I migrated all the files to this subsite. (via updraft migration) But the url never wants to change to staging.domainname.be.
I have already tried several options:
– I used the updraft migration tool, with the checkbox checked that it can adjust the url anywhere. (old to new)
– Via the updraft clone tool (it just forward me back to the original website)
– Via this tutorial: https://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/edu/wordpress/wp-cli/wp-cli-search-replace-command/
– manually in the database
– Via a mysql script in the database itself (for privacy I put domainname):
UPDATE wp_options SET option_value = replace(option_value, ‘domainname.be’, ‘staging.domainname.be’) WHERE option_name = ‘home’ OR option_name = ‘siteurl’;UPDATE wp_posts SET guid = replace(guid, ‘domainname.be’,’staging.domainname.be’);UPDATE wp_posts SET post_content = replace(post_content, ‘domainname.be’, ‘staging.domainname.be’); UPDATE wp_postmeta SET meta_value = replace(meta_value,’domainname.be’,’staging.domainname.be’);
In the last two options, I saw that it adjusts the url in the databse. But as soon as I surf to my staging url it automatically adjusts back to the old url in the database.
I contacted my hosting and they said this is probably due to wordpress.
