Issues when moving from local to site

  • Hi everyone,

    I facing serious issuers when migrating my Avada theme website from my local server (MAMP) to my live server.

    I’ve done everything properly (changed credentials in wp-config.php, uploaded my WP files via FTP, created a new database for the live site, changed the database urls to point on my new site, etc…) ….. and my site is FULL OF ERRORS !

    Among them:
    – wrong logo
    – missing photos
    – widgets areas where there shouldn’t be one
    – bad menus
    – missing CSS class
    – fonts not displaying accent (the website French)

    Can someone help me please ? I’m going crazy.
    Thanks guys

    To fix the URLs, try the “Velvet Blues Update URLs” plugin. For the missing photos, try the “Media from FTP” plugin. See how this works for now.

    Hello pbraun,
    please follow those simple steps to fix the broken url problem.
    – login to your wp-admin go to setting >> general and click save to ensure that site url is corrected anywhere else also you need to go to the setting >> permalink to make sure all the post links working fine.
    – run this query (you can do this by login to your phpmyadmin and select the database and run this from the query) “UPDATE wp_posts SET post_content = REPLACE(post_content, ‘localhost/test/’, ‘www.yoursite.com/’);”

    Hope this will help you.
    Thanks.

    Thanks guys !

    Well none of these worked …
    I deleted WordPress and reinstalled it on my live server. Then I used All-in-one plugin to export/import from local to live. And it works like a charm !
    I really don’t know what happened during the manual migration.

    Anyways thanks again !

    Happens sometimes,

    manual migration is prone to errors, sometimes we may miss a single url replace or something and everything breaks down. Migration plugins are there to make it smooth and happy.

    great that your site is up and running!

    cheers!
