I am curious as to how your live site is ahead of the dev site? how does such a thing happen? All changes should happen on the dev version first to test and then be replicated on the live site...
At this point I would wipe the dev site, and copy the live site into the dev folder along with the db to sync them up as a base starting point and don't let them drift apart in the future instead of trying to troubleshoot the dev site because you are going to end up adding more differences.

That is what I requested the people that did the work before but appears to have not happend so I wasted more than enough money because they would not follow directions.

So what you are saying is to copy all files over the the dev directory and also the database is that correct and then start from scratch updating the dev site prior to shifting over to the live site would that be correct?

I will do that tomorrow or the next day but keep a copy on the server without the htacess folder and would that stop google or not?

Just need to know what I have to do in regards to being able to view the site without google tracking it.

I would think that this thread should be closed until I move the files and see what errors show up.

I am not getting any at this stage on the live site.

In includes/templates/bootstrap/common/html_header.php you can change the robots tag to prevent unwanted indexing

<meta name="robots" content="noindex, nofollow" />

Will prevent indexing.

Will prevent indexing.

This is what is already in the Live site should that be taken out:

title><?php echo META_TAG_TITLE; ?></title>
<meta name="google-site-verification" content="L55auhTKpdJpNcdV1JGB9zMvCV77JwRzhz0GevfF">

No, that should not be removed; the lines I've highlighted above are providing that functionality.

The ROBOTS_PAGES_TO_SKIP constant is defined in /includes/extra_configures/robots_pages_to_skip.php.

What file or files do I need to change for the dev.outdoorking site. I have copied all the files from the live site to the dev site but now it is bringing up the live site.

I still have to do the database move but wanting to see the dev site is working

[barco57]

did you keep a copy of the dev site config files? use those in the dev site
