Lost all custom CSS when moved site from staging to LIVE
We moved our site from the staging URL to the LIVE URL and I discovered that all the custom CSS inside Theme Options were lost as we had to deactivate the theme from the staging URL and re-registered it with the LIVE site.
I still have access to the staging installation but due to the theme being registered at a different URL, I cannot see the custom CSS code in the staging site. Where would it be found so I can take a copy of it into the LIVE? There was a LOT of code there!
Your help is greatly appreciated and needed.

Hi,
Please copy it again but using the Duplicator plugin:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/duplicator/
We used it many times and never had problems with this tool.
Best regards
It is a bit late to re-do all what we did and do another migration. I was able to figure out a way using the inspector to remove the notice screen that was covering the code and I was able to copy the code and pasted it in the LIVE site. This time I added the code under wordpress customize->custom css so this doesn't happen again.
I am happy to see that you figured it out.
Anyway, I strongly recommend using Duplicator for any future migrations, as with this plugin, we never had any problems; we tested it and are using it constantly, and it works smoothly every time.
