In reply to: Subdomain problemsYour assumption is correct. When you have the DNS with the domain registrar, the subdomains won’t work at the webhost unless you add A records for each subdomain too.
Or, change the DNS to the web host’s DNS, and use the main domain and any subdomains without problems.

In reply to: Change text content widthComment your existing CSS.
Then add this:
.onecolumn .mainbar { width: 80% }Forum: Developing with WordPress
In reply to: Affiliate Coupons Help1. Add this to your theme’s CSS:
.entry-content code { background-color: #fff color: #000 }2.
For changing the font, you’ll need to use a font plugin, or see whether your theme supports Google fonts.3 and 4.

In reply to: LimitFirst option:
Use this lightweight WordPress plugin: https://ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/upload-max-file-size/But you don’t really need a plugin for this, because this is a setting in your Web Host’s cPanel.
Second option
Login to your webhost’s cPanle, and scroll down to the Software section. One of the links will be name “Select PHP Version.” Click that, and set the “upload_max_filesize” to 128M. Try lower values, if this doesn’t seem to work.
Save the settings before trying to upload.
Third option:
Login to your cPanel, open the file manager. See if there’s a php.ini file in your public_html folder (or the root of the your website). If not, you can create a new file, and add the following to that file:
upload_max_filesize = 128MTo this file, you can also add other PHP settings as and when needed.
If after the above change, you still don’t see any change in the upload size, lower the 128M to 64M or 32M and see.
If you still have problems, contact your webhosting support.
Regarding the file type not being permitted, what kind of file are you trying to upload? you may need to contact your webhosting support about this.
Hope that helps
@missmiss: In your staging site’s WP Dashboard, go to Settings -> Reading.
There’s an option with a checkmark – “Discourage search engines from indexing this site.”
Check that option.
The directory privacy option in your Web Host’s cPanel is more secure. Use that.
@remymedranda: I won’t recommend WP Stage Coach. Sooner or later, you’ll realize the problems it creates, and can’t solve, even though it has the one click staging-to-live functionality.
Plus, the support from them was almost non-existent. Did not get a response for more than 10 days, and the problem (on a client’s site which I put on WP Stage Coach) was not resolved at all for like 15 days. Finally, I asked for a refund.
I get FAR better support from Rene, via e-mail, than these guys’ pathetic but $40 support! Even though I don’t pay anything to Rene.
Hi Rene,
I too learned this the hard way, after installing wp-staging on a client site, and working on it for a few weeks, and now when everything’s ready and I thought there would be some way to push the staging site back to live, I found this thread.
Even though I have installed wp-staging plugin a couple of times on 2-3 sites, and even had more than a few conversations with Rene, I did not notice that this plugin couldn’t push the changes back to live. Well, since there was no such option within the plugin settings, I understood this, but thought that there would be some way to at least do this manually.
So, I would request you to please add the notice to the admin panel in the staging site too. A detailed post on your blog, with a link in the admin panel can be helpful too.
Anyway, is there really no way to do this? Making the same changes on the live site, manually will take TOO much time and we can miss something, which can cause problems.
Say that I create a new WP site on http://www.domain.com/newtestsite, and manually replace the database to the main site (which also has the wp-staging site’s DB). Then, I drop the tables associated with the main site and the tables that remain are the wp-staging site tables only.
And, then, use the search and replace db script to change any http://www.domain.com/stage to http://www.domain.com/newtestsite.
Will this work or is it futile to try?
I too believed that’s the default with wp-staging’s staging sites. But, was surprised one day, to find a long-time used staging site still did not have the “discourage search engines from indexing this site” option under Settings, checked.
Checked other staging sites and found the same thing. So, until Rene fixes this, users beware and do this manually as soon as your staging site is installed and you have logged in.
It would be better to use cPanel’s directory privacy, wouldn’t it?
Strange that I didn’t get notified via email about your reply.
I did uncheck the plugins before copying, as I said, more than a couple of times.
Also tried disabling all the plugins except WP Staging.
Meanwhile I’ve found a paid staging service, but if this plugin can do the same, even with a paid version – that’d be awesome.
Anyway, will email you tomorrow.
Hi Rene,
I tried 10+ times. The DB copy was done in 10-15 seconds with 3,000 DB Copy Query Limit. But, whatever memory size I specify in the optimizer, and set the CPU load priority to high doesn’t help much. Seems better than 10-15 minutes it took the first time but still takes nearly 10 minutes for about 192 MB files.
I removed the line in .htaccess which redirected the wp-login.php, but it would still not work. I use iThemes Security, but always disabled it in the settings (yes, saved the settings). The 10+ times I tried, it did not really disable any of the plugins I unselected/disabled in the settings.
Finally, I deleted these plugins from my main WP and again tried to create the staging site a couple more times. I was now able to login fine but each single time I saw a broken dashboard – White screenful at the top, left side dashboard menu extremely long. The right side elements at the far bottom (many pages below). Very bad to properly use the dashboard. I even took screenshots the other day but it’s on my other computer, so can’t post them at this time.
Wanted to tell more the other day, but seems to have forgotten now.

In reply to: Moved WordPress, but can't login to Admin PanelSorry Andrew, but I don’t understand what you meant by removing myself from the no-replies list. I didn’t do anything about removing myself from any list.

In reply to: Moved WordPress, but can't login to Admin PanelI wonder why no one ever replied me for more than three weeks.
Is this topic so difficult? Seems no one had success moving WordPress.

Also getting errors when using destination as FTP only. Have tried this more than 7-8 times, with different options (Passive FTP, active FTP, FTP over SSL, normal FTP, etc, etc – all possible combinations).
It gets stuck at 67% and the time keeps running (even for a simple 86KB file), which should not even take 1 second to transfer.
What to do?
