Regarding stage version of site to live URL

[Melissa]

Hi. Currently the stage (work in progress) version of the site is set at, say, stage.url.com, when the site goes live to url.com, everything will change and will not require change of licenses or any other information for both Pro and EDD Tickets, yes? I believe I saw this question asked but wanted to check. I cant imagine there would be a problem but …

Thanks!

Hey @Melissa,

The license key might be transferred to the live site, but more likely you will have to manually re-enter the license in your Events settings on the live site.

If you’re concerned about using up your license’s available number of domains by doing this, then I would recommend remove the license key from your staging site (and “Disconnecting” it from your account page here → http://theeventscalendar.com/my-account/license-keys).

This is because the license key is not required for any plugin functionality at all. The license only signs up your domain name for automatic updates – so you can just remove the license key from your staging site, and if you get an update notice on your live site, just do the update there and then do it manually on your staging site.

Does this all help? Did I address some of your concerns here? Let me know!

Hi George,

Thank you for this response. So the license key is not necessary to the plug ins working. Good to know! I just want to be sure once the URL changes from stage to regular that nothing that would break that chain, so to speak, is in place.

I will disconnect at that link. Thanks for information. I can always reconnect it and add Lic. keys later.

p.s. I should also remove License Key from WordPress settings ?

Thanks!

Sounds good @Melissa! Keep us posted on things if appropriate or if you have any other questions that arise; as for removing license keys from WordPress settings, then generally speaking, yes, you should do that if you don’t need the license features on that site (i.e. support and updates).

Cheers!
George
