    FAQ<\/h2>\n

    Does revert stop invoices?<\/h3>\n

    No. The website stays on the account subscription.<\/p>\n

    What happens to the production domain?<\/h3>\n

    The development URL comes back. Production DNS no longer points at this site until you go live again.<\/p>\n

    Need some help?<\/h2>\n

    Open a support ticket if the control is not in Staq, or the change does not save.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"template":"","class_list":["post-35938","knowledgebase","type-knowledgebase","status-publish","hentry","categories-accounts-billing","categories-staging"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nPutting a Live Site back into Dev Mode - Managed Hosting Platform for WordPress<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wpstaq.com\/knowledgebase\/putting-a-live-site-back-into-dev-mode\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Putting a Live Site back into Dev Mode - Managed Hosting Platform for WordPress\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"A live site can return to development mode from Domains.
