Onyxia & Onyxia's Lair still refusing to load live version on clicking, stay on classic- now cannot access them at all for about 3 days now, have cleared cache, tried IE (usually chrome)
Just tried while logged into wowhead, claims page doesnt exist.
Also, when wowhead goes onto classic- it hides the live button way down at the bottom of the menu instead of having it available at the top of the page like it does on live version. Not sure if this is me only. Its a pain in the arse, but also- having it at the top of the page might make it more obvious which version you were in so people wouldnt get confused so much- maybe have the selector box go different colours for different versions?

With the devs back in the office after the holiday weekend, we've made a few updates. For now, items/quests/etc added before 1.13 will default to Classic (this is still temporary), but the following is new:
The Live toggle has been renamed to BFA to reduce confusion.
Clicking on "BFA" will remember your preference and not send you back to Classic the next time you look up an item for that session.
The bug where you could not click on live/BFA from classic to swap, for some users, has been fixed.

The BFA Maraudon page accessed by going back from classic has almost nothing on it, 1 object, 1 npc, no drop list
I was hunting the bloomsprout headpiece page and I manged to stop it on meshlok the harvester by stopping the page reloading to to classic. once its on classic it wont go to BFA. same with maraudon, hit the x while it was loading to stop it on BFA before it reloads to classic to get the old page.

I am trying to view the Cataclysm version of Zul'Gurub (
i.e., the dungeon version
) and am unable to get to it no matter what I try. When I type it into the search box, I am automatically redirected to a Classic page that says it cannot be found. Clicking the Live option does nothing, as I am constantly redirected back to Classic.
I have also just tried selecting the dungeon listing from the Database page while on the Live version of the site. That does not work either.
I have tried to do this while logged in and through an incognito page in Chrome (
so logged out of site
). Nothing is working as it did before.
Thank you for your time and help in this matter.

I can't replicate the other issues you mentioned, but this seems to be that you were loading
the Mists-specific version of Maraudon
. Blizzard often has multiple versions of zones for particular content, like if there's a quest where you're "in" Maraudon, but things are different it'll actually use a different map that's just a copy.
The "real" Maraudon can be found here.

I found issues with ZG and a couple others that were missing some data in Classic. I've manually done a fix for these and they should work the same as other zones now.

^Thank you for the help. It appears to be working correctly now.

I can't seem to view the BFA/Live page for Onyxian Warder (the level 80 version). It keeps redirecting to Classic even after choosing BFA Data from the left navigation after the first redirect.

I am also having trouble with pages constantly redirecting. Even after clicking "BFA Data" it still redirects to the Classic page, in an endless loop if I keep clicking it. On Chrome on my PC, it will eventually stop, but it does not on Android Chrome. Very annoying and infuriating. This has occurred on many pages, for example:
Cheap Beer

The behavior wasn't implemented on mobile. An oversight. This was fixed today. Thank you!

What page, after being redirected to Classic automatically and then selecting 'Live' next to the search box, is not taking you back to live as intended?
Both
https://www.wowhead.com/old-hillsbrad-foothills
and
https://www.wowhead.com/the-black-morass
basically "blink" and then automatically switches back to "Classic" instantly, I have found so far.

That has to do with custom URL issues. Try adding
?fromClassic
to the end of the URLs to bypass this for the time being:
https://www.wowhead.com/old-hillsbrad-foothills?fromClassic
https://www.wowhead.com/the-black-morass?fromClassic
This should only occur on pages that change the URL to a specific name. It should remember your preference in the future after clicking one of these.(##RESPBREAK##)

Suggestion: Add a user preference for what DB is that user's default and honor it.

Links on the reputation page fail to go to the correct (Live/Classic) item page when viewed from the Classic domain. You could either use separate Reputation pages for each game or remember and use the correct domain in each link.

I'm trying to look up fishing locations on the maps for winter squid. These locations are shown with a map for wowhead.com but not on classic version. I go to wowhead.com to find them and it simply redirects. Happens for chrome and firefox and edge. Can't be a browser issue.

Set up an account today in the hopes there would be a toggle to stop the classic/bfa back and forth with the annoying pop-up. Disappointed to see it is still not implemented.
I will continue to use the site as there's nothing else like it out there. I'm more than willing to pay for an ad-free version to support the site, but that will
NOT
be happening until the default database toggle is available and the annoying flashing pop-up goes away.

Hello.
I want to point out that russian pages for entries that was in game from the start (NPCs, items, quests, spells, etc.) doesn's work properly since Classic release: every page is auto-redirected to redused Classic variant that
doesn't have toggle
BfA/PTR/Classic nor upper menus
at all.
Works same with desktop browsers (tested in FF, Chromium, Opera) and mobile ones, logged and unlogged.

The page changes to a mobile view on classic for some individuals with smaller resolutions. You can still toggle back to BFA by clicking the drop down on the upper left and select 'Viewing Classic Data' then select 'BFA Data' to force the page back. That preference will be stored as a cookie to prevent the behavior from occurring again for you.

All you need to do to avoid this is ensure you have cookies being retained upon closing your session or browser.
Once you initially get sent to the classic subdomain, which only occurs on database entries that were added in Patch 1.13 or older, you can click the 'BFA' toggle next to the search box to force the page back to BFA/live. A cookie will be created at that time to remember your preference in the future so you won't be redirected again.
We recognize this is an inconvenience for those who wish to see these older database pages for BFA/live but the vast majority of users visiting these pages wish to see their Classic version. Despite many attempts to make it clear that they needed to switch to Classic, this wasn't getting across very well. In this case we needed to adjust the behavior to cater to the majority. We implemented the cookie preference to make this less of a burden for those who are clearly looking for BFA, which we conclude is the case if you click 'BFA' by the search box after being redirected.(##RESPBREAK##)
