   Hello,

   I would like to set up a duplicate WordPress site so that I can test making some drastic changes to the theme without impacting my current site. I created a subdomain at testsite.mydomain.com and loaded WordPress. Then I copied over all of the files from my production site and then imported the main site database to the test site.

   The first problem I notice is that when I try and go to the manage page for testsite.mydomain.com, the login button redirects me to http://www.mydomain.com which is the production site.

   Can anyone give me some dummy tips on how I can get this running?

   I know you are copying, but this page has some tips about this:

   Great link... since I had already done the moving and was leaving my primary site intact, the "option 2" for directly editing the table in myPhP was the ticket.

   Thank you so much!
