Migrating / Replicating my WordPress Site = Depression

For future reference, This guide is better to follow when moving a site: https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Changing_The_Site_URL

In your case, it sounds like some things were missed in the database.

I would suggest going into the database (php myadmin) – you’ll go into options (wp_options) portion and confirm these 2 spots are showing the correct url, step by step instructions are here: https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Changing_The_Site_URL#Changing_the_URL_directly_in_the_database

Thanks for your fast response!

Bryan – I used that guide and did change the siteurl field in the database. Where can I find the home field?

Sincerely, Dominick

It also into the same tabbe wp_options.

You have to search for option_name -> home.

I suppose I’m asking because I don’t have a home field in my wp_options. Could that be the problem? – Dominick

Okay I found it! It was on the 2nd page of option_names… #noob

Thanks for your help so far. Going to see if this does the trick.

Still… When I type in execlawgroup.com it sends me to https://execlawpractice.com/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fexeclawgroup.com%2Fwp-admin%2F&reauth=1

Should I just start all over or something? :-[

Delete these two line if you already wrote those.

define('WP_HOME','https://example.com');
define('WP_SITEURL','https://example.com');

More data: when I go into the search and replace database script and convert everything back from execlawpractice.com to execlawgroup.com, I am able to sign into execlawgroup.com/wp-admin again…. Hmmmm…?!

@greyparrots, those are no longer in my wp-config files.

Yes, that will occur. because your old site is alive, and that sends you back to your old site.

But if I change everything in the database, everything should be fine yes? Is there a different way I should be going about this?

Hi,

You just have to change the wp_options table, nothing else, only those two field. It will work.

Alright so I deleted the database on execlawpractice.com. Created a new database with the same name as the one at execlawgroup.com. Then I imported the settings into that new database. I changed the two fields in wp_options but the exact same thing is happening. :-[

Any ideas?
