 * Hi,
    I recently created a staging env for my site using WP Staging plugin. I 
   see that all my table names in database are prefixed with the staging env name.
   I don’t see the original table names in the db. Is this expected? Can you please
   explain how does this plugin work.
 * Also what is the process to remove the staging env after testing.
 * Thanks

 * Hello,
 * > I don’t see the original table names in the db.
    Is this expected?
 * No, your original db tables are not touched so this really should never happened
   and i am pretty sure it isn’t. Please could check it again? The prefixed db tables
   should be in the same database like the original ones but they are duplicated
   and not renaming the original ones.
    If you are unsure please send me a mail 
   support [at] wp-staging.com s o that i can investigate into this.
