Problems moving a wordpress site to another host

  • Hi team,

    Trouble Site: https://www.cleanup.co.nz

    I transferred this site from one hosting account to another, but I’m having trouble getting the site to show properly.
    The home page is showing ok, but none of the other pages are, nor is wp admin.

    This was done along side another site transfer which is working fine.

    Nameservers were updated yesterday, and I think they have propagated properly because the home page is showing, and the 2nd site which was updated at the same time, is working fine.

    Steps I took:
    -Updated nameservers with domain registrar
    -Downloaded all files for site from old server
    -Exported the mysql database from phpmyadmin
    -Uploaded files to new root directory
    -Created mysql database
    -Imported old mysql database into new database
    -Updated wp-config.php with new username, database name and password
    -Checked site – only home page showing – no success
    -Cleared browser cache – only home page – no success
    -Out of ideas…

    I understand that nameserver propagation can take a while, but figured if the home page was showing and the other site was working, then maybe I just mucked up somewhere along the way.

    Any thoughts?

  • Just tried that plugin on multiple sites of mine and found no error, looks like when the plugin is activated it adds the line into the wp-config file. I had no trouble with this maybe some sort of configuration on the server your files are on.

    In most cases I wouldn’t worry about using that plugin, I would only use that plugin if your site is hosted in another country or your database is running really slow.

    Good to see your business is back online!

    hello… I’m having a similar problem but the only problem is, that even though I’m logged in… when I view pages on my site the admin bar doesn’t show at the top? Could either of you help me out?

    Please post a new topic.
