Editing staging site?

    We just downloaded and activated WP Plugin, created a staging site, and I see nowhere to edit it. I have looked at past forum posts but people are talking about logging into the staging site or seeing an orange edit bar. I see no ability to do either – nowhere to “login” to anything, nowhere to edit anything. I have googled relentlessly and see no articles on how to actually edit the site once created. The options are to Open, Update, Reset, and Delete. What are we missing here?

    @sarahregard once you click on “open” and actually open the website you should be welcomed with a login form.
    After login to that you can edit your staging website as your live website.

    What do you get instead?

    When I click open, our website opens in a new tab with the staging site title tacked on to the end of the URL. There is no login page. I’m not sure where to even begin troubleshooting what could cause this…

    note: After writing the above message I manually added /wp-admin/ to the end of the staging URL and that worked— It was already logged in, and I am now in the admin dashboard with the orange edit bar I saw others mention in the forum. But do I need to do this every time or is there something I can fix so when I click “open” it opens properly to this page?

    Due to an unknown reason your site does not show the login form. Usually there should be a wp staging custom login form.

    Please check in the wp staging > settings page if the authorization is disabled.

    Besides that there is no option to tell wp staging to “open” the wp-admin page automatically. /wp-admin then needs to be appended manually to the URL.
