Duplicated site sharing mySQL database

    Hello,
    I asked my web host to copy my development website to the live website (dev.compay.org to company.org). Now, dev.company.org and company.org are sharing the same database (I checked wp-config.php), so I cannot continue working on the development site for future versions.

    I would like dev.company.org and company.org to be exactly the same but with different databases so I can continue to development them separately going forward.

    I have the old database in mySQL from the live site that was over-written by my web host that was installed with WordPress in 2015.

    What is the best way to do this?

    Can I:

    1. Change dev.company.org to the old (2015) database and see if it works.
    2. Update WorPress
    3. Install All-in-one-migration
    4. Restore from company.org

    Is that right?

    Hi

    If both sites (dev.compay.org to company.org) are sharing the same database, they should have different table prefixes.

    All in One WP Migration will export tables with current WP table prefix. So you can start my exporting your dev site and importing it to another dev instance which has separate database.
