production site routes to staging site after cloning
Check your production site’s wp-config.php file for one or both of these lines: define( ‘WP_HOME’, ‘https://example.com’ ); define( ‘WP_SITEURL’, ‘https://example.com’ ); …and set them as appropriate if they exist. These constants will override the settings in the database if they’re present. See Editing wp-config.php for details.
