Staging Remnants
-
I created a staging site some time ago with the free version of the wp-staging plugin for a website that I manage. Last year I migrated the site without using the wp-staging pro plugin. Since that time I believed I had fully converted from the staging site to the live site, but I am now finding remnants in the live site database table wp_options to the old staging site. I have had to remove the plugin, the old staging site and associated tables from the database because it was causing the site to constantly exceed the resources available for mysql and they wanted us to upgrade to something that is out of the realm of affordability at this time. With that being said, I have 5 references left in the table that I need to remove the staging from the URL, but when I do it affects the live site by either crashing, or causing the loss of customization made through the theme options. I am not sure I understand how these references became intertwined, and I have confirmed that the home and site URLs are pointed to the live site. How do I get these cleaned up so I have no references of the staging site left without causing damage or harm to the site? This I believe is causing a couple of issues in the WordPress Admin:
1. I cannot login through Chrome to wp-admin — it redirects to a 404 error page. I don’t have the issue through Microsoft Edge.
2. I cannot change my permalinks.The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]
