Issues with Database not syncing properly with the site

  • Hi Guys

    I have recently migrated my website to staging folder in the server. After moving I found out that the pages , posts , images are not showing at all. I checked the database the data is there and the files are there in the server as well.

    Then I found data from the database is not at all syncing properly.

    How can I update the data as well in the website.

  • WordPress always accesses it live. There is nothing to synchronize.

    My guess is that you are using a caching plugin that you also have active in the staging environment and that is not configured correctly there (perhaps because of changed URLs or paths). Deactivate this plugin if you are using one.

    If it is not, it would be interesting to know how you created the staging environment? There is a guide on how to migrate WordPress here: https://developer.www.ads-software.com/advanced-administration/upgrade/migrating/ – which way did you go?

    It sounds like a frustrating situation. Since you’ve confirmed that the data is in the database and the files are on the server, the issue might be related to the URL settings after migration. Here’s what you can do:

    1. Update the Site URL: In your WordPress dashboard, go to Settings > General and ensure that the “WordPress Address (URL)” and “Site Address (URL)” reflect your staging site’s URL.

    2. Permalinks Reset: Go to Settings > Permalinks and simply click “Save Changes.” This will refresh the permalinks and may resolve any linking issues.

    3. Check wp-config.php: If the issue persists, you can define your site URL directly in the wp-config.php file by adding these lines: 

    define('WP_HOME', 'https://your-staging-site-url');
     define('WP_SITEURL', 'https://your-staging-site-url');

    4. Clear Cache: If you have any caching plugins or server-side caching, clear those caches to ensure you’re seeing the most recent version of your site.

      Once you’ve done these steps, check if your pages and posts are displaying correctly. If you still run into issues, please share the website URL here. So we can check and provide/suggest exact solution.
