Redevelopment of site

  • I’m creating a WordPress custom theme/template and I’m wanting to troubleshoot a few things before I upload it to the website and activate it.

    I’ve moved the site files and database over to my personal development server and I’ve updated the wp-config.php file to match the new database name, user and password.

    Now I need to make sure the URL within the install is my development server. Where do I find this information?

    I’m not a WordPress guru (more Concrete5) and am doing this pro-bono.

    Thanks!

    I don’t need to move the site, I just need to duplicate it on a different server to test.

    I can’t login to the admin because I can’t get the site to come up.

    When I try to navigate to my duplicate site, the URL doesn’t resolve to the correct URL. For instance, the URL for my dev site should be mysite.com/dev. Instead, when I type in that URL, it resolves to somewhereelse.com/dev.

    Is the site base URL located in some file? I’ve updated the wp-config.php file.

    That would still be covered by Moving_WordPress.

    Okay. I updated the wp-config.php file, updated the URL in the wp_options table of the database and changed the URLs in the wp_posts table and still can’t get the site to come up.

    I get a 404 error when I go to wp-admin.php and the actual URL (which is suppose to be corporateprdev.com) is resolving to nic.sh which apparently is a domain name registrar.
