Install WP on your production site so it adds the production URL to the database. Then stick the same DB details in each case in the switch statement and define the WP_SITEURL and WP_HOME as the different environment urls eg:

define('WP_SITEURL', 'http://staging.abandon.ie/');
define('WP_HOME', 'http://staging.abandon.ie/');

Great! It works,

I want live, stage and dev to have the same database. Do you know how that can be done?

Something that might be good to add to this bootstrap is a way to provide the user to choose the environment they would like to display via a url parameter.

For example: I have a very small website, I’m the only developer, tester, and everything else, as a result I only have local and production environments. It would be great if I could check to make sure the production specific code behaved the way i would like by changing the environment locally without pushing the code.

I understand that a staging environment is supposed to do this for me but that is a lot over overhead for something as small as what i’m working on.

I didn’t realise anything like this was possible, so thanks for sharing with the rest of us.

I know, the values really should be set in an array that is looped through to define the constants. That’s the way I actually do it on my own projects. For the purpose of this example though I wanted to keep it simple.

I should really add nested comment replies on here too..
