no theme display

  • I moved my WP site from one host to a subdomain on a new host as follows:
    1) I backed up the OLD site files and DB and stored away just in case
    2) I logged into the back end of my OLD WP site and changed permalinks to default
    3) while in the admin level under setting>general I also changed the box for WordPress address (URI): to my NEW subdomain URL
    In the box for Site address (URL): changed to my NEW subdomain URL.
    4) then I Clicked Save Changes.
    5) I then downloaded site files and DB again
    6) I then uploaded these files and imported this new DB to the NEW blog subdomain site on the new server.
    7) I then changed my DB info in wp-config.php

    My new site now loads but the theme does not display??

    Any suggestions are appreciated

  • What do you see when the site loads? Moving site “can” be fairly simple, it’s mostly about getting the URL right… Is your theme uploaded correctly..?

    simple!! OMG .. I can move a joomla site in 20 minutes but have spent three days moving this and it still doesnt work.

    I have followed any directions I can find and tried to move it to a sub directory first which blew up and now a subdomain and still its not working.

    I checked again and my theme folder is extirely there?

    Go here to see what I see

    Now something that seems odd is that I have created a subdomain called burundi.terilynn.ca but on this new server I seem to only be poitning to the subdomain name? Is this because my nameservers are still pointed at my old host??

    I don’t know much about hosting to be honest, but I can see stuff like your stylesheet is still pointing at the old domain;

    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="all" href="https://burundi.terilynn.ca/wp-content/themes/selecta/style.css" /> – that will be why it looks like it does. The should be because of the setting in the wp_options table – namely the site url and home page url settings. I can’t remember for sure, but if you look in the options table you should find it on pages 1 and 2.

    put this into your sql

    UPDATE wp_options SET option_value = 'https://newsite.com' WHERE option_name IN ('siteurl', 'home')
    obviously change ‘newsite’ to your website
