Staging server license
3 replies · Started by Chris on December 4, 2017
I have recently moved to Flywheel for hosting. They have an option to create a staging server for updates which is awesome. The issue I’m having is that everytime I move a site back and forth, I have to deactivate and then reactivate all of my software licenses.
Is there a way to add the staging URLs to your database so that I can just create the staging server, who’s url doesn’t change, hit update and move it back to the live server easily?
Let me know.
Thanks!

Hi there,
Have you checked with FlyWheel's support?
I doubt this should be handle by the theme.
So the deal is that when I move the site to the staging server, your software license and all other software licenses are no longer valid. I have to reactive this license and several other. When I move the site back to live, I have to do the same thing. There are a few software providers that add a staging server URL in their database to help with this so I don't have to do that over and over again.
Unfortunately this is just the way the licensing software works.
However, all you need to do is go into "Appearance > GeneratePress" and hit the "Update" button.
That will update the URL the license is registered to.
