**A:** When I click the WP Admin button in DevKinsta for a site I’ve imported from our live Kinsta site, I am redirected to the WP Admin login page on the live site rather than the .local site. As a result, I cannot use WP Admin in DevKinsta.

Hi @gfitech . Thanks for trying out DevKinsta!
Does the site happen to have the URL within the `wp-config.php` file? May need to review the home and site URL within options table as well which can be reviewed via [Database Manager](https://kinsta.com/knowledgebase/devkinsta/database-manager/). I suspect that the URL may not have been replaced to use the `.local` address either from code or contained within the database.

Good catch! Actually, this seems to be something of the same issue as the other bug I reported - some of our site config, including the URL, lives in wp-config-env.php and so that still contains the Kinsta cloud URL and not the local URL for the WP\_HOME, WP\_SITEURL, and WP\_CLI\_DOMAIN config.
So it generally looks like we’ll have trouble using DevKinsta for our live site if we’re following this pattern of keeping the environment variables outside of wp-config.php, is that right?

Right, it doesn’t yet support custom wp-config.php configurations but we’ll look into getting this in as a feature. Thanks for submitting this!
