When moving your staging site to production you will need to deactivate BotBanish on the staging site BEFORE you attempt to move the site. If you do not deactivate BotBanish, the move may not complete due to the BotBanish protection scheme.
BotBanish should NEVER be installed on a live site without making sure you run it in a staging area. As with ALL plugins, the professional way of maintaining a website should be in the staging area first to make sure you are aware of how the plugin works and to make any modifications to the setting to insure a safe environment and not to crash the website.
In the even of a crash, one should always know how to back-out any plugin to regain control of the site.
