Moving site from Dev to Production problems

  • Hello!
    Having a major problem here.

    A site is fully built in Development environment (on a subdomain dev.xxxxxxx.com), and employs Polylang havily.
    I’m attempting to move the site from Dev into Production (xxxxxxx.com). I’ve done it countless times with similar scenarios (but without Polylang):

    1. Copy the files from Dev into Production
    2. Copy the Dev database into production
    3. Upload proper wp-config pointing to the new database
    4. In PHPmyAdmin change the homepage in the wp-options table (replace dev.xxxxxxx.com with xxxxxxx.com)

    Still, when I’m trying to access the production site, it kicks me back to Dev. I’m assuming that this happens becaus the homepages in both languages are cached by Polylang somewhere. But I can’t figure out where, and how to remedy this.

    Please help!

    I’m pretty sure it has to do with _transient_pll_languages_list in the wp-options table. Supposedly, it caches language strings to speed up Polylang.
    When I delete _transient_pll_languages_list, it throws:

    This webpage has a redirect loop
    ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS

    Any ideas?

    Hi!

    You can indeed safely delete the transient as it is created again. And indeed it caches the home url in all languages.

    This webpage has a redirect loop
    ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS

    Could you give the url causing the redirect?
