Resolved Cloned site redirect wp-admin to main site

[nikketrikke]

Server operating system version

ubuntu 20

Plesk version and microupdate number

latest

wp-config has the correct db and user
on db home and siteurl point to staging site correctly

i'm using
apache server+proxy nginx + fpm by nginx

but when I open the wp-login point correctly to staging
BUT enter in wp-admin of main site

Important i'm using Cloudflare
i point the subdomain in CF to the server ip address...
the stange thing is tht
now i cleared all staging files domain and databse so plesk seems clean
but if i write stage.example.com or staging.example.com already becomes the main live site
seems that cloudflare redirect to the main live site possible?
or that plesk installation is unable to manage subdomains....

Does the site use a caching plugin that may need to be deactivated before cloning?

 

[nikketrikke]

Hi yes there is
Wprocket
Redis
Nginx server cache
Cloudfoare cache

So i will try to deactivate all and build againnthe close and let you know

hi PETER I do this:
cleared all the cache
deactivated
wp rocket
nginx cache
redis cache
nginx helper plugin

allinone security firewall
gtranslate plugin

bypassed and cleared also cloudflare cache

clean the htaccess before cloning leaving only basic options (even if with nginx proxy i suppose not use htaccess)

installed the ssl certificate on staging

NOW SEEMS WORK the admin staging page Wroks...

so i will try to reactivate one by one on live site all the options deactivated to see if something could BREAKS the staging rediects...
thanks for NOW

Note that if you use Redis on a WP site that you like to clone, you'll have to manually change the Cache Key (salt). Else the cloned site will use the same Redis catch objects as the source site. Which will cause the behavior you're describing.
