You can access that from WP admin dashboard. * On the BM plugin menu screen, it is 4th dropdown section. * Kind regards * Thread Starter [dabhulimen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dabhulimen/) * (@dabhulimen) * [2 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/staging-failed-2/#post-17245800) * ```wp-block-code Hi, I still am facing the same issue.
