Noticed issue with data syncing with plugin this morning all of a sudden. I use Site Kit on a WordPress.com hosted install and all of a sudden any attempt to sync or reconnect the plugin uses my former staging domain (that was never live and primary was in use first) instead of my live domain to connect to google. How do I get the domain verification process to point to my primary domain? Thanks for reaching out @radioinsight . Based on what you’re experiencing, it sounds like you may have set up Site Kit on a staging site previously, and then pushed this site to live without having reset Site Kit first. If this is the case, there are a couple of things we can try to ensure you can setup and use Site Kit as expected on your main site. To start, please share the following: Your Site Health information . You can use this form to share privately if preferred. What is the URL you land back on when attempting setup? I ask as this may contain a no longer valid callback URL, based on your staging site. Have you attempted to reset Site Kit on your live site yet? Let me know if you have any questions with the above. Thank you. I setup the staging site after configuring the primary. Never configured Site Kit on it as it was simply to test theme changes. Where I am getting stuck is on the reset to reconnect Site Kit page. When I click on Verify Site Ownership it is going to https://staging-2c45-radioinsightdotcom.wpcomstaging.com/wp-admin/index.php?action=googlesitekit_proxy_verify&googlesitekit_code=sitekit-EhIKB1Nlc3Npb24QgIDAyvGmzQo&googlesitekit_verification_token=Xy5T2n4d2_Pe78wjCAh3xKoQJ7XjzosLthCaO_hfTVs&googlesitekit_verification_token_type=META&nonce=&step=verification as opposed to RadioInsight.com. ### wp-core ### version: 6.9.4 site_language: en_US user_language: en_US timezone: America/New_York permalink: /%category%/%post_id%/%postname%/ https_status: true multisite: false user_registration: 1 blog_public: 1 default_comment_status: open environment_type: production user_count: 6790 dotorg_communication: true ### wp-paths-sizes ### wordpress_path: /wordpress/core/6.9.4 wordpress_size: 72.66 MB (76186590 bytes) uploads_path: /srv/htdocs/wp-content/uploads uploads_size: 4.58 GB (4916789830 bytes) themes_path: /srv/htdocs/wp-content/themes themes_size: 27.40 MB (28733669 bytes) plugins_path: /srv/htdocs/wp-content/plugins plugins_size: 742.99 MB (779078302 bytes) fonts_path: /srv/htdocs/wp-content/uploads/fonts fonts_size: directory not found database_size: 1.42 GB (1522466816 bytes) wpcomsh-disk-space-used: 5.3 GB wpcomsh-disk-space-quota: 26.6 GB ### wp-dropins (2) ### advanced-cache.php: true object-cache.php: true ### wp-active-theme ### name: JNews -

Thanks for the update @radioinsight . Based on the callback URL you kindly shared, what you can try is to manually update that URL, replacing your staging URL references with radioInsight.com. Can you follow the sets again as you did previously, and when landing on an error page with that URL, modify it before proceeding? I’ll keep an eye our for your response, as there can be other options to ensure you can complete set up should that fail.

James Osborne 2026-05-05T11:10:00+00:00

I’m just following up with you to check whether the error remains? If so please share the information requested above on whether you were able to proceed if manually changing your callback URL, or alternatively ask if you have any questions.

James Osborne 2026-05-14T16:20:00+00:00
