Pre-built website import on staging shows empty – how can I redesign my site?
Hi,
I currently have a live website running with BeTheme on my main domain.
I would like to redesign the website completely, so I created a staging environment to work safely without affecting the live site.
It took me some time to understand the setup process and to install a pre-built website, but after the import, the staging site appears empty — no pages, no content.
I’m wondering:
- Is this happening because my license is already active on the main domain?
- Does BeTheme only support one installation at a time?
- How can I properly create the redesigned site on staging?
I just want to safely build the new version on staging and eventually replace the live site when it's ready.
Thank you very much for your help!

Hi,
If the staging domain name follows an appropriate pattern, then there is no need for a second license key, and you can use the same one as the one you have on the main domain. You can read more about it under the following link:

If you want to redesign your current website based on what you already have, you should use the Duplicator plugin to copy and put it on the staging domain.

If you want to base on one of the pre-built websites, then you can install it as described here: https://support.muffingroup.com/video-tutorials/setup-wizard/, and after you finish you can move it to main domain with the Duplicator.
Best regards
