URL to root directory of site changes when importing a database from another environment.

[wjthomas9]

Hey guys,

I'm noticing that when I export my database from staging and import it on local, my URL to root directory is using the value form the environment I imported the database from for things like the "View Page" link on Structure pages. However, when I go to Admin -> General Configuration, all of the path and url fields are populated with the correct values. Simply clicking submit on that page fixes the issue.

Any idea if this is related to the master config file somehow?

I'm using EE 2.8.

I'm using the NSM Config Bootstrap with EE 2.7.3 rather than the Focus Lab EE Master Config, but for info, I'm also seeing this issue with having to click the Submit button on the General Configuration page to get certain URLs to work.

Besides it affecting Structure, I noticed that it was affecting the native EE pagination links (when viewing the second page, the pagination links were showing dev URLs instead of the live URL).

I've no idea if this is an EE issue, a Structure issue, or an issue with how both config bootstraps generate the site URLs (maybe after something changed in EE), so I'll be keeping an eye on this issue to see what the conclusion is.

I've been able to isolate it to links created with the {structure:page_url_for:{entry_title}} tag, so I think it is Structure causing this.

I've also seen this happen with this Structure tag: {exp:structure:first_child_redirect}

However, see my note above about it also happening with native EE pagination links, which makes me think this isn't just a Structure-specific issue.

Edit: I can't seem to repeat what I saw recently with the pagination links, so I think that might be a red herring.

I've just checked the EE bug tracker, and I suspect that the underlying issue is the bug that was reported here: https://support.ellislab.com/bugs/detail/19457

I literally just came across this as well. So good to see an official issue about this. Thanks!
