[Solved] How to rename a site without breaking it?

Plone Support
1

I assembled a Plone site locally, named "dev", and exported it as a zexp archive.
Once re-imported on a new server, it works, but if I rename it (to "stage" for example), all its content disappear; renaming back to "dev" fix the "issue".

How to properly rename a Plone site?

Renaming a Plone was officially never supposed to work or being supported.
At least you need to reindex the complete portal_catalog.

Reindexing worked.
I used "Clear and Rebuild" in /portal_catalog/manage_catalogAdvanced
Thanks.

That would probably fix it.
