I moved my old database from Yahoo servers to a new place. The new server already had a database, so what I did was integrate the old database into the new database. Originally in Yahoo, my website had the following permalink:
mysite.com/wordpress/services/web-design
For the Yahoo servers is mandatory to use an additional file if your domain, if your site will be developed in Wordpress (... mysite.com/wordpress/) you can put whatever name you want to that file but there should always be a file. As this is very bad for SEO, I moved my site to a new place. In the new server, my permalinks are:
mysite.com/services/web-design
Everything ok, however when I try to open the "graphic design" page the permalink is like this:
mysite.com/services/js-jquery-2/
First I tried to confirm that maybe there was a post or page created with that strange name. After checking everything was fine, there was no page or post with that name. Then I made a full search for the word "js-jquery-2" throughout the server (using the keyword search function from Dreamweaver) (I have the server as a backup on my computer.) No word was found in the entire server. Maybe is at the database, this strange word is maybe saved there but I do not know how to locate it, in any case finding this word is perhaps not the solution.
Other thing I notice is that there are two groups of tables inside the database with almost the same names, for example there is a "wp_options" and there is a "wp_vzea_options", they share almost the same, should I try do delete a group ? thanks in advance for any help or advice.

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
Migrating wordpress sites between hosts can take a lot of time, especially when the hosting platforms are different.
I have been trying to migrate my sites from Cpanel to Mediatemple, but it seems like im just not getting it right.
There is various options
Use the guide they provide
https://kb.mediatemple.net/questions/1556/Migrating+your+websites+to+the+Grid#gs
When moving the files in this way the permissions of the files are not set properly and I would have to got back through them and figure out which ones need to change.
The database export from PHPMyAdmin also does not look the same it looks in the screenshot
Using InfiniteWP
To use InfiniteWP you must provide the url of the site and since I dont want to change the DNS until the site is moved this option does not seems to be ideal.
This option might work if its ok for the sites to be unavailable for a day or so while the DNS resolves...
But I don't want the sites to be unavailable
Using Mediatemples "one click apps" to install wordpress and then moving only the files that are unique to the site from the old host to the new host.
I would like to use this option
I think that the content of the WP-Content folder needs to be moved that the database needs to be moved.
My question is
- what folders and files in a standard wordpress install typically hardly ever changes from one site to the other.
- can I use the wordpress database export and import function to move the database from one site to the other.
Any help will be appreciated
Thank you
With InfiniteWP, you can use the clone an existing site command (which can be found in "Tool"->"Install / Clone WP") to migrate a site to a new server.
You have to use a temporary (sub)domain pointing to the new server.
To answer your questions :
/wp-content/ stores all your files and sometimes plugin files, wp-config.php is where your configuration is stored (e.g. credentials to access the database). Depending on your servers, the .htaccess files may be different.
I would recommend to create a dump file of your entire database using phpMyAdmin.
I'm still new to Liferay and using Liferay 6.2
what i'm doing:
I am trying to add a document manually into my database using insert statement.
I inserted into dlfileentry, dlfileversion and AssertEntry.
Also, i created a folder with the valid name and file.
The issue:
upon entering the Documents and Media portlet, i can see the document name there but when i click on checkout, it will prompt a error saying that Documents and Media is temporarily unavailable. however i am still able to download the valid document.
Am i doing something wrong? Personally, i feel that i am missing one more table for the database but i'm not sure .
Thanks!
Yes, you're doing something wrong: You should never write to Liferay's database with SQL, as there might be more data required than what's directly visible to you. Obviously, you're running into exactly such an issue.
Liferay has an API which you can use locally, from within the same application server, or remotely as JSON or SOAP service. You should exclusively use this for write access to the database.
Alternatively, you might consider WebDAV access to your document repository as the way to add more documents to the document library.
Am wondering if there is anyway to clone/move the whole WP site I've design as it is?
Would like to avoid the idea of restarting all over again with the slider setting, colours, theme config, menu? Its rather time consuming when it involves Multisite.
The export/import tool only saves the post, tags, image library etc.
Help much appreciated. Really.
I recommend using the WP Migrate DB plugin. If you have access to the MySQL server on your new site / location (command line, phpMyAdmin, SequelPro, etc) you can import your database as a whole.
As a brief overview, this plugin does two things for you. First, it's a MySQL dump (grabbing the entire database including any additional tables that aren't standard WordPress tables).
It'll also replace any URLs that might be serialized in your content from the old site to the new site. (A very important piece if you plan to change your domain name).
Have fun!
Don't use the export/import tool when you're using wordpress.org this tool should in my opinion only be used when transferring from wordpress.com to wordpress.org.
In this case just:
Change the WordPress & Site URL in the settings
Export the whole database
Import the database on the new server
Move all files with FTP to the new server
Use the "Search & Replace" plugin to find and replace all reference to the old URL (when the url changes)
I have a situation that override my knowledge. Here is situation:
A simple web based system store a Word files. Users create them locally, then upload them to server. After that, another user can download, edit and upload again. All that is okay, but that steps of repeating Download/Upload cause troubles - in case when user forgot to upload after he make changes. The prerequisites is that they want to use only Word, so i can't use any web editors like CKEditor or Google Documents.
So - a question - is there a way to let users open/save that DOC files with Word without setting a VPN?
Server is a Windows 2008, and language is ASP.NET / classicASP. User access system via browsers.
I think you can embed a plugin called aceoffix in your web system, if the customers do not have to download, upload and save back to server. With aceoffix they can edit online and save back to the server directly. It is exactly the same interface as MS Office. Hope this will be helpful.
How about a tiny app (on clients) to act as a syncronizer (using FTP) ?
I think an embedded Word viewer would be something quite complex to pull off - especially if they require the native, proper and exact Word look/menus.
One alternative is to provide a plugin to your users, where they can access/sync documents directly from/to the server. But then you aren't using the a web site but a local plugin, which comes with its own headaches of course.
Creating a Word plugin is a nice way to make it seem like something "in the Office program" when you have actually created it yourself, so that your user don't have to feel like they are using another program. My idea is that you could create a way for users to load a Word file from the server, do changes to it and then upload them back to the server automatically.
