Stage to Live : how to disable admin auth?

    Hi Rene,

    I am currently doing a trial run for a staging setup.
    Effectively I am following the path described here in several other topics. But anyways, here’s what I do to get staging back to live:

    1. use wp-staging to create a staging site
    2. perform changes (mostly theme and post related)
    3. export DB using wp migrate db
    4. import migrated db into main DB
    5. adjust wp-config.php to staging db-prefix

    an additional optional step could be to transfer any changed files from staging to live, but for now I will keep it as is.

    This works as far as the data transfer is concerned. However – I am now stuck with a live site, that has the admin protection imposed by the staging process active. How can I disable this, or asking the other way around: Which “switch” are you flipping while creating the stage, to protect it with “admins only” access rights?

    Thanks for the excellent plugin!

    Hi,

    You can disable admin authentication in wp staging settings.

    Hi Rene,

    thanks for the response, although that was not the answer I was looking for. I think I did not ask precisely enough – i.e. what happens behind the scenes.

    In the meantime I took a look at the code, and found that you flip an option for this. So, the answer to my question is basically: set ‘wpstg_is_staging_site’ in wp_options table to ‘false’ to disable the admin check after reimporting.

    Again thanks for the plugin, it helps me currently a lot.

    Oh my bad, now i see what you mean. Soory for not reading your question more carefully.

    > set ‘wpstg_is_staging_site’ in wp_options table to ‘false’ to disable the admin check after reimporting.

    Absolutely correct, good catch:-)

    Yeah, never mind Rene. Indeed when I read my own OP up there, I could also see why you answered the way you did. ??
