You can try checking the 'instance_name' system property and making sure its not set to your Production instance name in your subprod instances.

Hi,
You need to add a Data Preserver in the source instance, before cloning.

Hi there,
With categories widget exactly do you mean? Asking because I don't recall this being an issue with the out-of-the-box widgets. Was the widget perhaps cloned and edited at your company? Looking into the code, does it contain specific hardcoded URLs, or perhaps calling a system property which was not preserved with the clone / overwritten with the clone?
Kind regards,

@Mark Roethof I think we did not preserve it , but i could see the widget is not a OOB. And 'instance_name' system property is with correct instance name @jonsan09 . I could not find any url or system properties in the Code. Please help me in Expedite it.
