Is your web host providing your staging environment?
Sadly, I don’t recall. I set it up a couple months ago. It was a beta feature either through WordPress or Bluehost. It doesn’t look like I installed a staging plugin for WordPress because one isn’t listed.
Bluehosts’ support chat didn’t seem to know what was going on either. Seemed to think it was a browser cache issue (which made no sense to me). Checked it anyway, chrome and safari yielded the same denied access page.
The way I understand it is there are two installations of WordPress. One in the main directory and one in a subfolder “/staging/6486/” where the red “Staging Environment” tab appears only in the latter.
I want to dissolve the “/staging/6486/” to make the site live. But I think that would break a lot of the links of posts. There are only two pages so that’s not a problem to relink (if I move things manually).
Thank you again! Much appreciated.
