Staging Site Won’t Be Deleted

  • Unknown's avatar

    My staging site refuses to be deleted – it seemingly doesn’t exist despite my ability to edit it with the basic wordpress editor and the domain leading somewhere.

    I looked around for the url on myadminphp and it doesn’t show up, nor disabling all of my wordpress plugins seems to help either.

    Whenever I try to delete it, a message says “Failed to delete staging site: We can’t find this staging site. If you just created this staging site, wait a few minutes and try again to delete it.”

    So it seems to not exist on my end, not sure what I can do here.

    Hi there!

    Looks like something unexpected occurred here. I have manually deleted the staging site for you. If you’d like to create a new staging site, please feel free to do so from your site’s Hosting Overview section. :)

    Use a staging site to clone your entire WordPress.com site. You can test significant theme and plugin updates, incompatibilities, or any other major changes on the staging site before applying them to your main (“production”) site. This guide will show you how to create a staging site on WordPress.com. This feature is available on sites with the WordPress.com Business and Commerce plans. If you

    Please let me know if I can help you with anything else.
