# WP Staging issue

 * I installed the plugin and now when I click “sites/start” it shows me nothing
   except this: [https://imgur.com/a/Zz4vVNR](https://imgur.com/a/Zz4vVNR)
 * When I login to my wordpress site it directly logs into the clone site w the 
   orange header. Also, I tried deleting the wp staging files manually and under
   wp file manager the root file folder is the clone site name and not the original–
   do I delete the entire clone file as a whole? What would happen then? Or is it
   best to go into phpmyadmin and delete all wpstg files there?
 * Not familiar with this plugin but the screenshots I see online are not what I
   see on my end (where you can delete/export the clone site etc.) and instead I
   see what I showed above. Thanks in advance!

 * This happens because you migrated the staging site with a separate plugin and
   not with wp staging. Just delete wpstg_is_staging_site from your database.

 * Hello,
 * Thank you for the reply. Where exactly would I be able to find this file? When
   I go into phpmyadmin all I see in the directory are files that begin with wpstg0_
 * **Edit: I found the file thanks for your help!
