I’m in the process of changing hosts and wanted to check before I switched over the DNS. I presume that before it fully propagates, some orders will be placed on my old host. How do I get into the orders? Right now if I try to go into my admin using the IP it will redirect to the URL. I presume this will continue until I switch DNS and then I have to change the config file to reflect the IP. I am very confused as to how this switch over is going to happen without losing order info. Can someone please clarify for me?
Thanks!
Hi
You could always “suspend” the cart from taking orders.
There is a “Holiday” thread on here and the code is very simple, plus once it is done you have a tick box for future use.
I have installed it and it works a treat because it only stops people adding to the cart and does not close the store front.
