Links Redirecting To Old Site

Hello,

unfortunately I’ve got the same problem, so it would be nice if you could make the solution public here in the support forum.

btw: my site is on a 1&1 shared server (package: unlimited plus)

Thank you

@renehermi The solution worked for me as well. Now I have several staging sites and all are working like a charm.

Thank you very much
and have a nice day

Same thing here.

If I switch to ‘Plain’ Permalinks, the site works. If I switch to ‘Post name’ Permalinks, all of the links redirect back to the old site.

I’ve switched a dozen times and still no change. I have another staging site on this server and the permalinks work, I’m not sure why this staging site refuses to update the permalinks.

Here’s the System Info

As an addition to the solution that worked for me:

If it doesn’t work, it could help to deactivate all plugins but WP-Staging first then switch the permalinks and finally activate your plugins again.
