URL/Migration Issues

  • So basically we migrated our site bangtothebeat.com/ from GoDaddy to AWS. My colleague goofed and didn’t exactly read everything in this article (https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Moving_WordPress) before migrating. As a consequence, our URLs are not updating/changing as we had liked.

    What we did do:

    A) We have created a fresh new .htaccess with read/write permissions for WP

    B) We have modified the following mysql tables with the following info, but this is the only mysql updates we have done.
    mysql> update wp_options set option_value = ‘https://www.bangtothebeat.com’ where option_name in (‘siteurl’, ‘home’);

    Basically:

    1) Can’t change permalinks (if we change them off p?=39 or whatever, all links stop working)

    2) The automatic posting to FB and twitter have the old host in the URL

    If anyone has any idea of a quick fix to this little obstacle then I would really appreciate it! I am a novice WP developer who would like some assistance as I am looking to increase my familiarity of the system.

  • The automatic posting to FB and twitter have the old host in the URL

    Can you explain this? Do you mean old domain name or URL?
    Are you using the same domain or have you changed it?

    we are using a different domain but the old domain still shows up in the URLs for the FB/Twitter posts

    Hi @krishna,

    An example of the different domain can be seen below:

    https://highlinesounds.com/bang/?p=465&fb_source=pubv1

    Our old domain was highlinesounds.com/bang. We then switched to bangtothebeat.com, and now our sharing links are still customized at highlinesounds.com/bang. We need to know what to change to fix this, any help greatly appreciated!
