I have a Wordpress site that I developed with Local and has localhost url. I got a new hosting plan and domain name and I successfully pointed the domain to the new hosting.
I tried to do the migration and I used the Wordpress plugin "WP Migrate" and I performed the find and replace using the new domain url.
I forgot to do a backup of the database before doing the find and replace and now my site doesn't show any photos, styling and JS.
Is there any way I can restore the previous localhost url and do the process again?
You can check the wp_options table, if URL is properly replaced.
Or, you can backup DB and again replace new URL to localhost URL to get back the DB to previous state.
The URL replace will affect only serialised array strings only.
First of all, please save parmalink on live site.
Then check your option table site url and home url
Try find replace old url

I made wp website on my testing domain. I would like now to move it to local mamp server.
I have tried using updraftplus plugin, but it didn't work (website is constantly refreshing, sort of being in a loop).
Now I want to move it manually. I have downloaded whole website through ftp and I also exported db.
I made new dbd with same name on my mamp server/phpadmin. In wp-cofig the database, username, password are the same as in my testing page. however local site can't connect to db that I have imported (I have used the same name for database on local machine).
I have read several instructions how to do this, but now I'm lost.
Any help is really appreciated.
Try this solution:link
Did you use the same table prefix as you used in previous one.
and Don't Forget to Change your previous base URL to new local URL in each and every place in your SQL file.
find wp_options in database and change site url and home url from your testing domain to localhost
I move my site from localhost to live host server:
1. upload my wordpress website source to server
2. create a database and import localhost database
3. change 'home' and 'siteurl' option to domain name
4. copatible config.php with new live database information
but not load database and show /wp-admin/install.php page!
I try with Duplicator plugin and result is same.
I create another localhost website with this things but work correct!

This generally happens if .htaccess file is missing when you uploaded WordPress to live server. Hiddne file may have been missed when you copied your web pages to server.
Permalinks is another root cause of the issue.
Please check if you are able to browse your admin area directly: http://domain.com/wp-login.php. If so, login and go to permalinks settings. Do NOT make any change and click on Save directly.
This will create your .htaccess file and check your site again.
I am trying to move a cakePHP project I completed a few months ago from a server (a friend's server) to my own web server.
I have set up a database and changed the database config file to match my database/login credentials.
when I navigate to http://babbage.cs.missouri.edu/~jam2z9/muve/index.php you see it looks as if it is a brand new project. When I go to just /muve instead of index.php it says I'm missing a ~jam2z9Controller file but I don't see any files from the old server that are like this to edit and change to ~jam2z9.
I feel like this should be a very simple transition once I hook up the database credentials but I'm just confused as to what my issue is?
All of the database tables in my new database are blank as I just imported the .sql file into phpMyAdmin. It all seems to be connecting fine but it will not go to the home page just the aforementioned generic cakephp screen?
In your bootstrap.php add the following line:
Configure::write('App.base', '/~jam2z9/');
This is because as far as Cake sees it you are hosting it in a sub-sub directory.
Edit: There are more details about not being able to use mod_rewrite here
I am changing host for my website and it contains a lot of data. I moved all the data in my domain folder under Public_html directory and then imported all of the DB from PhpMyAdmin. Before importing the database it was showing twenty thirteen theme and Hello world post but after importing it just shows a blank page without giving any error. Although the /wp-admin URL works fine. One time i used the WP Backup plugin and made a DB backup with it and it worked also but it is not working now, i've tried several times. Also I've tried importing every table in my DB and left the wp_options and it worked but the settings weren't there and also when i try to change the theme it again shows the same error.
Please guys help, because i've been charged $2/day by my new host and my website isn't working now.
use Duplicator plugin to move your site from one host to another
A. You must go to the admin and activate your theme again ..
B. Verify for the settings blog_url and home_url
In general - For exporting / moving a site there is really nothing to it , you just need to :
1 . move all your folder structure .
2 . Change wp-config . Put all correct DB info ( pass, user, ip, db name ) . SALT optional. don´t forget wp_ prefix ..
3 . go to phpmydmin , import the old DB on a blank one .
and then run these :
/**
To update WordPress options with the new blog location, use the following SQL command:
**/
UPDATE wp_options SET option_value = replace(option_value, 'http://www.old-domain.com', 'http://www.new-domain.com') WHERE option_name = 'home' OR option_name = 'siteurl';
/**
After that you will need to fix URLs of the WordPress posts and pages, which translated from post slug, and stored in database wp_posts table as guid field. The URL values in this field are stored as abolute URLs instead of relative URLs, so it needs to be changed with the following SQL query:
**/
UPDATE wp_posts SET guid = replace(guid, 'http://www.old-domain.com','http://www.new-domain.com');
/**
If you have linked internally within blog posts or pages with absolute URLs, these links will point to wrong locations after you move the blog location. Use the following SQL commands to fix all internal links to own blog in all WordPress posts and pages:
**/
UPDATE wp_posts SET post_content = replace(post_content, 'http://www.old-domain.com', 'http://www.new-domain.com');
Then verify for the settings blog_url and home_url in wp_options- and you are done.
If you have followed the above correctly - the site will be on and OK wordpress-wise.
Note: do not forget to update the wp-config DB settings including wp_prefix ( also update in SQL )
This problem can sometimes be caused outside of wordpress, it could be a php error. But before you get to that try these few extra ideas:
Re-save your permalinks in wordpress, do this by picking another setting and then the one you were originally using.
set WP_DEBUG mode to TRUE in your wp-config.php, this will output any errors to your page.
Disable any plugins, cache plugins can cause problems like this.
Check your server php log for any errors.
I uploaded my portfolio.local to my server online. I exported the database and imported it on the server, the problem I have is that all links still point to portfolio.local and if I enter to login online, after I login the admin get's me to portfolio.local instead of the wp-admin on the server. I have already modified the wp-config.php file on the server...
What is the problem?
You forgot to update the link structure in your database....
you need to edit the one you exported, delete the current one and then import the edited one.
Example (some address in your database):
http://localhost/mysite/?p=1
.
Should Be:
http://www.your-new-site.com/?p=1
.
if you are using permalinks:
i would delete the .htaccess file and recreate a new
on using your new website admin panel.
.
Hope this helps.
