Weird pagination issue with test domain appearing in links!

Question

I've just updated EE from 2.5.3 to 2.7.3 and gone from a local testing environment (using Focus Lab Master Config) to a remote server. All works great apart from in my search results (using Low Search). If I click past the second pagination link, the link starts with my local test domain!!! WTF?!

I've done a DB dump and tried to grep to find any instances of this local address and the only thing I see is in the developer logs.

Has anyone ever come across anything like this?

I've cleared the contents of my ee cache directory as well. No joy.

Answer 1

So thanks to Low stepping in and doing some testing with me, we worked out that the problem was down to an extension hook for Structure that was messing up ALL pagination across the site.

Low performed the following sql query to find the hook in question:

SELECT * FROM exp_extensions WHERE hook = 'channel_module_create_pagination'

and then removed the Structure hook with the following query:

UPDATE exp_extensions SET enabled = 'n' WHERE extension_id = 148;

Note that in my particular case the Structure related extension_id was 148 - yours will no doubt be different (should anyone else come across this).

Now that is removed, all appears to be working as expected again.

Answer 2

Try completing the Comment Page URL fields in Channel Preferences. It's what Low Search uses for auto paths to multiple channels. Then double check it's not being overridden in FLMC.

Answer 3

It sounds like your local domain pp.dev has been saved in the database as the site url and it's either not being overridden properly by your config or LS is using the db version.
