SmartCrawl data loss on migrating from staging to production

When I setup smartcrawler and defender on staging it uses the staging addresses. do those addresses automatically change when pushed to production?

It seemed as if I had to login to production to make those changes stay. I spent a lot of time last night setting up all the settings and then pushed them to production.

All the progress was gone, but all the other changes to the site and database stayed.

I lost things like

connecting social media accounts

meta codes

analytics

    Hello Robert

    I hope you’re well today and thank you for reaching out to us.

    I looked into your sites (production and staging) but since it seems that you’ve adjusted those settings already manually there’s not much I could see there. We’ve already did some initial tests with our test setups to try to replicate this in order to find out why this happened and what exactly caused it but so far to no luck.

    The site seems to be quite customized and complex so I’d like to go a bit further.

    First, just to make sure, let me know please: as this is a multisite, did the issue affect all the sites of the multisite or just some (e.g. the main site) – I’m asking because the SmartCrawl seems to be set there as allowing separate configuration of some things (like social acocunts) “per site”.

    Second, I’d like to do as follows:

    – clone your site to my private hosting account

    – remove SmartCrawl from it there

    – create staging site

    – try to replicate the issue by installing SmartCrawl on a staging one, configuring it and pushing to production

    – then running further tests and checks to find out about the issue

    This would, of course, be a private test and I’d destroy my entire “cloned” instance after the investigation. Would that be fine for you?

    If yes, I’d need some additional access credentials to your site so could you provide them?
