MYSQL problem when moving website

Hi klopatios – Can you recount what steps you took to move your site from https://alphapanda.com/test to https://alphapanda.com/?

Hello,
Thanks for the answer. Here are the steps:
1. Installation of WordPress at https://alphapanda.com/test
2. Installation of Patti theme at https://alphapanda.com/test
3. Website development at https://alphapanda.com/test
4. Backup of website https://alphapanda.com/test on PC
5. Transfer of all files from PC to https://alphapanda.com/
6. Changing URLS from Administration > Settings > General panel.
7. Fix links from https://alphapanda.com/test to https://alphapanda.com/ using Velvet Blues Update URLs
Basically, I didn’t do anything with MYSQL as I completely forgot about it. From the wordpress explanation, I had to backup and transfer MYSQL before transferring the website files (something I did not do). So now I am not sure what exactly can I do. It is only a MYSQL problem I think so perhaps I will need to manually change the MYSQL but I am not sure what exactly.
Thanks

Hi klopatios,

I think it is a problem with MYSQL as I did not transfer the database

It seems likely that your live URL (https://alphapanda.com/) is on the same server that you were using for the test URL (https://alphapanda.com/test). Thus, the config file already has the correct database information. That is why the site is still loading even without transferring the database.

You don’t necessarily need to transfer the database. But it is good to backup the database, so that you have a copy if you want to keep your test site running, or need to set it up again.

Your site is loading fine on my end.

But now I am not able to upload any content.

Can you elaborate on your issue?

Can you login to the back-end at https://alphapanda.com/wp-admin?

What kind of errors are you getting?

Hello,
Thanks for the answer. Yes, I am using the same server and the site is loading fine. I can login to the back-end and I can modify all the pages. But I am not able to upload for example new media through wordpress for example and some plugins that require importing content do not work properly as well, such as sliders for example.
Thanks,

What’s the exact error that you get?

Who is your host?

Also, when I move a site I like to re-save the permalinks.

No exact error, simply after I upload an image for example, the thumbnail wouldn’t charge as well as the image on the page. For example:
https://www.awesomescreenshot.com/image/66635/bd37722d6ca240306ebd94a499dbbfcb
https://www.awesomescreenshot.com/image/66639/9f3246b2e30f46a93fc64ba180830def

But the strange thing is that if I select Edit Image, I can see the photo…
https://www.awesomescreenshot.com/image/66643/07190c11e051526ce2d054b1a6fb2045

I also resaved the permalinks but it didn’t help

Have you checked the folder permissions?

I just resolved the issue, the problem was that the media upload path was not changed after I transferred the website. I changed it to the default one wp-content/uploads and now it all works well. Thanks again!

Ok great!
