    Currently using godaddy uk wordpress hosting which provides staging and production functionality.

    built my site in the staging environment then promoted to production (slowtheflow.net)

    Were original nigggles with some items (eg: images) still referring to the staging URL. used a search/replace plugin to correct. then used phpmyadmin to check no other DB references to old URL.

    All seemed fine – until I try to add comments to production website. when I submit a comment it instead redirects to the staging site and posts it there instead of live!

    I’ve checked the php files and no references to the staging site and also cleared server and browser cache. Godaddy unable to assist! help appreciated!

  • The specifics of this staging/production would be particular to Godaddy, and not something that WordPress itself has any real involvement in (WordPress itself has no concept of ‘staging’ or ‘production’). So if something’s not working with it the only people who can help you with it is Godaddy. If they’re not able to assist I suggest pushing back on them, because it’s their responsibility.

    It seems there might be some references to the old site in the database. Check again, and also check the .htaccess to make sure there is no redirection to the staging site.

    thanks – it turned out the problem was Jetpack comments being enabled. Now off and all is well.
