I successfully validated my theme for a local development site, but I had to start over, and now I am unable to validate. I have revoked the production site and reassigned both the production site and the local site, but I get the message
“This site URL is not a match for your API key.”

My site is hosted locally so that the production url is as displayed live:
http://myurl.com
while development url is similar to:
http://myurl.dev

Please help me resolve this.

Hello There,

Thanks for writing in! Please keep in mind that for every 1 X license code, you can assign this license code to validate a staging site and a live site. Please revoke the license and revalidate both your site again. To do this, please follow these steps:
1] Please go to X Addons > Home and revoke the validation (https://s3.amazonaws.com/community-themeco/app/uploads/2016/04/17110514/Capture53.jpg).
2] Please login to your account and revoke the license.
3] After you have revoke the license, you need to re assign the license again to your site using this url: https://www.example.com/. You have to make sure that url you just assign is the same as the one you have in your settings, Settings > General > Site Address
4] Go back to X Addons > Home again, and insert the license again.
5] To validate your dev site, please go back to your account and assign the dev site url as your development site.
6] And do the steps #3 and #4 in your dev site.

And please review the changes that we made on how you are going to validated your X theme because we made a big change in the process. Please check it out here: https://community.theme.co/kb/product-validation/

Hi There,

Yes, you could validate your dev site as your production site. While you are developing your live site, you could use the production site as your developement site. After developing, you could now add the live site as a production site. Just don’t forget to revoke the dev URL so that you could add your live site to the production site.

Hope it helps.

Let us know how it goes.

Thanks.

Setting the dev url in PRODUCTION does allow me to run automatic updates, etc, so this acceptable for now.

Two questions:
1. But is it true that I SHOULD be able to have both the PRODUCTION and DEVELOPMENT validated at the same time?
2. If I’m never working on the live site (including running updates), is there any reason to have the production URL validated? (ie PRODUCTION = productionurl.com)

Hello There,

Thanks for writing in!

Please note that development environments require that a production environment URL already be assigned. Revoking the production site will also remove the development site.

Thanks.
