[Resolved] Using toolset on dev site

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:

The customer needed to register and use Toolset on a development version of their live site. However, Toolset was showing an error due to a mismatch between the live and development site URLs, as each Toolset site key is bound to a specific URL.

Solution:

The customer was directed to Toolset's FAQ regarding registration in a development environment. Key points from the guidance included:

- Multiple Site Keys for Unlimited Accounts: For users with Unlimited Sites or Lifetime accounts, Toolset allows multiple site keys. They can create separate keys for development and production environments to avoid URL conflicts.

- Manual Installation for Single Site Accounts: For customers with a Single Site account, which only provides one site key, it is recommended to skip registration on the development site. Instead, they should download the necessary Toolset plugins directly from their Toolset Account page and manually install them on the development site. This approach maintains automatic updates exclusively on the live, production site.

Hello there,

Please check this section from our FAQ:

https://toolset.com/faq/how-to-install-and-register-toolset/#registering-toolset-in-a-development-environment

"Registering Toolset in a Development Environment
Each registration site key is bound to the URL used to generate the key. This can create a challenge for site administrators who have different environments for development and production. If you create a site key for your live site, you cannot register your development site with the same site key. Instead, holders of the Unlimited Sites (and old, Lifetime) account can create as many different site keys as necessary to register Toolset in their development environments.

Since our 1 Site account plan only includes a single site key, we recommend 1 Site account holders to not register Toolset in their development environments. Instead, download the necessary plugins from your Toolset Account page and install them directly, manually on your development site. Register the live, production site to generate a site key bound to the live URL, where you can use the automatic update feature."

Can you please let me know if this is what you were looking for?

If not, please help me understand what issues you're facing and I'll do my best to assist you.

Thank you,

Mateus
