Admin backend changes two websites at the same time! - Joomla! Forum - community, help and support

hi all, can me bit of conundrum.

i have rebuilt charities website old joomla version latest version. uploaded , did build in dev.subdomain.com location , had dev.subdomain.com/administrator end. when finished, copied contends of ain site main.domain.com subdomain old.subdomain.com, copied contents of dev.subdomain.com main domain. ok, , happened.

the admin site main.domain.com started play up. in particular editor stopped working. module load up, nothing show, not toggle betweem html , wiziwig, nothing. scuppered. reloaded, via ftp, new website dev.subdomain.com main.domain.com web folder. nothing changed, editor did not work. discovered something.

when went dev.subdomain.com admin backend, , made changes, modify text example, these changes happened on both main.domain.com , dev.subdomaincom.

i tried change picture changing link in module (using dev.subdomain.com admin backend) , uploading image folder. image changed in dev.subdomain.com module, main.domain.com module showed no new picture, showed alt text, signifying didn't recognise new link.

i went main.domain.com/administrator (backend) , uploaded same picture, , voila! there image on main.domain.com site.

so dev.subdomain.com changing both sites, images need uploaded through correct backend administrator portal.
