Hello, I made a mistake and uploaded the staging site version of my website to the live site using the Allinone WP plugin. As a result, some problems

[Trippinet]

1- I created a staging site using WP Staging Pro, and when I was ready to push it to the live site, I used the same plugin, but the website didn't look right. So, I used the All-in-One plugin to download the staging site's website created with WP Staging Pro and uploaded it to the live site. However, now that I've activated WP Staging Pro on the live site, it shows that it's a staging site and isn't getting indexed or anything. How can I fix this? Should I check my .htaccess or robots.txt files or do something else to make my site fully live? Thank you!

8- It's crucial to prioritize investing in backups to ensure the safety and continuity of your mail, hosting, security, and other systems. Keep in mind that errors can occur, so always be prepared with backups.

Before making any changes, make sure to back up everything and take note of important details such as PHP and WP versions. Adding phpinfo() into a static file and downloading the output from your browser can help you understand the configuration of your system and identify any necessary fixes.

For full control over your production environment, consider using a VPS. AWS is a good option for scaling, but for staging, you may want to use linode or hetzner instead. Remember, spending money on backups is an investment that can help you save money and avoid costly downtime in the long run.

9- I appreciate the advice. I learned my lesson the hard way, and I hope my website won't be affected once it starts ranking. Are there any specific files I should check to ensure everything is in order? Fortunately, WooCommerce doesn't seem to be displaying any indications that it's a staging site, but I'm not entirely certain.
