[wp-hackers] WP Development & Production Sites

[Chris Chilcoat]

Will:

Good point, I think I may have to insert some script in the wp-admin login
page that redirects the user to my development box. This would keep them
from loging in on production.

We are going to have to host this on our company web servers so wpengine may
not be an option.

Thanks,

Chris Chilcoat
