Before submitting an issue please check that you’ve completed the following steps:

• Made sure you’re on the latest version ✅
• Used the search feature to ensure that the bug hasn’t been reported before ✅

Describe the bug WP Engine changes the consumer_email value in the wp_rocket_settings option from the wp_options table during the migration to staging which requires the user or support to intervene to resolve this issue.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to '...'
2. Click on '....'
3. Scroll down to '....'
4. See error

Expected behavior The consumer_email value shouldn't be modified so the license is validated without manual intervention.

Think it might be the same as: https://github.com/wp-media/wp-rocket/issues/2804

@DahmaniAdame what do you think about hashing those values? It'd prevent from doing unintentional rewrites during search and replace when the website domain matches email domain 🤔

Yes. That would solve it for similar cases linked to hosting services or even cloning or migration plugins.
