Redirected to login for original site after installation?

Hey @cbiweb

Thanks for the feedback! There are a few items in the FAQ that may provide a solution to this issue, this one may get you going.

– Why do I get a 404, redirected, path issues, or unable to log in after installing?

Hope this helps~

@corylamleorg thanks! Yes, I do see some redirects set up in cPanel. I’m dealing with taking over as Webmaster after the one we had passed away a week ago, so I’m still discovering how he set everything up.

He has a redirect for /login that of course takes visitors to the login page for the live site.
There are also redirects for other pages as well.

Any suggestions for working around that with the staging site?

btw, excellent job on Duplicator! Makes life a little easier!

Hey @cbiweb,

This process might help:

Also if you want to just use PHP if or switch statements in the wp-config.php based on the server IP to set values you can do that as well, that process is easier.

Hope that helps~

Thanks @corylamleorg. I’ll try those and post back if I run into any snags. Should be fine, though. ??

No Problem! Thxs for the update…
