I searched a lot trying to find a solution to this. Hope someone may have an answer.
I have two WordPress installations that supposedly are identical. One is on a production site and the other is on a staging site. The installation on the production site has some persistent bug that does not appear in my staging site.
Is there an efficient way I can compare the installations of both WordPress sites so I can try to identify what differences may exist and perhaps troubleshoot the error?
Thank you very much,
Nabil
I assume from your question that the ‘bug’ is an operational thing, not a code failure.
So, you can write some PHP code that will put the file hashes of every file of the first site into a database. Then compare those hashes with the hashes from the other site.
Any difference in files will show up as different hashes….but it won’t tell you what the differences are.
So a second option is to ‘diff’ the two sets of files. This should find and highlight the differences.
The creation of either of these solutions is up to you.
