Moving Blog to Another Host

https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Moving_WordPress#Moving_WordPress_to_a_New_Server

There was a bit more to it than just moving.

I followed these instructions to move my blog. So why am I getting the error listed above?

Did the domain name change?

There’s nothing in WP itself that should point to the full path, unless you set it in your media settings tab.

The only thing I see that might be off is the fact that I could not keep the database names the same from the old host to the new, due to the fact that my old host automatically named the database some very long automated name with lot’s of numbers etc in it. So I simplified the name of the database on the new server/host.

Could this be the problem with uploading images in a post?

Oh! I see it. Something put this path into the media settings tab by itself (really I did not do this…lol).

Let me fix this and try again.

Thanks Ipstenu…

No prob ?? You shouldn’t need to hard code the path in like that, but some servers are tetchy :/

All is well. Just had to make sure the file path was set to the default.

Thanks again.
