Yesterday, I migrated my client's site from staging to production as a GoDaddy Managed WordPress site. After migrating the domain to the Managed Wordpress site, I ran a site audit in Ahrefs and found that the xml sitemap included noncanonical URLS. Upon further inspection in the page source, I found that Yoast was still including staging domain in the canonical URLs for every page.
To fix this issue, I first edited the canonical URL for every page, post, product, category, etc. in the Yoast settings and flushed the cache. Now the correct domain is included in the canonical URL for every page, except for the home page.
I implemented every solution I could find in other forums, which included replacing the staging domain with the correct domain in the databases, and flushed the cache. The correct canonical URL shows in the page source when I'm logged into the WordPress dashboard, but it does not show when I am logged out.
Has anyone else encountered this issue after migrating a domain from staging to production? If so, how did you solve the issue?
