Problem cloning development site to live

  • Really odd one here!

    I have been doing an update on my website as I’ve been having problems with the theme. So I created another clone site (https://www.awa-uk.org.uk/staging_y/), set it up and then cloned it back to the original site (both times using the clone option in the WP Toolkit). I have done this successfully several times.

    However, this time, once it had said it had cloned it, I could see that the website hadn’t updated – it was still the previous theme. On closer inspection, I subsequently noticed that whilst it is displaying the original home page when I type the address in, once I click on menu items, although it shows the correct address bottom left, it actually then goes to the staging site!

    I therefore went back into the Staging site, checked that was all OK, and tried to clone it again. However, now when I try to clone it, I get the error “WordPress installations cannot be cloned into themselves because that would violate the rules of the spacetime continuum.”

    In addition, I noticed the original site no longer appears in WP Toolkit and it doesn’t find it when I do a scan. However, the staging site appears twice…

    Any ideas anyone?

    WP Toolkit is a third-party tool provided by hosting providers.

    We don’t have any control over it, so I recommend contacting your hosting provider’s support about that.
