Reply To: Problem with migrating site from development subdomain to root domain

It showed the correct header, but the header reverted to the default. All the edits I had made previously were gone. I solved it by rebuilding the header as I had it before.

There really should be a better way to migrate a site from a development subdomain to the root domain without breaking any functionality. I had to spend a week rebuilding all content/functionality that was lost due to switching the domain. Most of that was not related to your theme and was related to other premium plugins we’re using that similarly did not allow things to remain the same through a domain change.

I fully understand that you have to prevent people from using your premium products on multiple sites through the licensing, but there should be an easier way to transition from development site to live site where there is no intent to misuse your product. Perhaps there is an easier way to handle that migration and I just missed seeing it, or just have never been shown.

Anyway, I think we have the header fixed now. Thanks for getting me looking in the right place to figure out what happened.
