I should mention that you can’t see the site at all and are simply forwarded to the survey unlock gateway when going to the site via both iPhone and Android.

As in the original post: “I’ve tried in both Firefox and Google Chrome. I’m on a Macbook Pro running Snow Leopard.”

When using Firebug I can see this load of hacked junk code but I can’t for the life of me find where it’s being generated from so that I can remove it.

[ Malware/hacked code redacted. Please do not post that here. ]

No, it happens whether I’m logged in or not. On my cell phone, trying to access the website I’m forwarded to a cpalead.com survey page to “unlock” access to the site.

So now I know it’s hacked ??

The problem is I can’t find any code in any page that looks like it’s causing the forwarding. Again, I’ve looked through every single page in my themes root looking for the code that’s causing the grey overlay and now have gone back looking for anything with cpalead.com with no luck.

Any ideas?

Thanks Trukn4fun! That worked for me too!

I was getting an error when trying to export with WP Clone on the source site. When I clicked the back button it showed that a .zip file (or sometimes TWO) had actually been made.

Then I tried to import this .zip file in the new website with the WP Clone plugin and was getting the “internal Error” message.

I used Filezilla FTP client to log into the source website and download the WP Clone .zip backup file that was created. I then logged into my new website with the FTP client and manual placed that .zip file into the UPLOADS/WP-CLONE folder.

Then I put in the location of the .zip file from the new website’s installation and clicked upload. It installed everything!

Be aware that it creates an exact copy of your source site with all the same settings. I had to log back in and set up the new template and everything again. But works! Wish I would have known this trick when I had a really tough time a few weeks ago with a different client!

HOLY COW! I figured it out, totally by accident but it’s working!

I exported the database from the old blog. Opened it in a text editor and then deleted this line: CREATE DATABASE tips_tricks DEFAULT CHARACTER SET latin1 COLLATE latin1_swedish_ci; (where’tips_tricks’ is the old database name)

Then the line that follows that: USE tips_tricks;
change ‘tips_tricks’ to your new database name.

I had to do this in 2 places in the database for it to work (there are two locations where ‘CREATE DATABASE’ and ‘USE’ existed).

Thanks for helping me get back on the right track!

hmmmmm, I’m not sure what the deal is but that didn’t seem to work either. I exported the database from the old site (via mysql) then went to the new database and tried to import. The first time around it gave me this error: #1044 – Access denied for user ‘username1’@’localhost’ to database ‘username2’

I read online that this might mean that the user name needs to be changed to the one for the new database so I did a ‘find/replace’ on the database names (in a text editor) then tried again to upload. This time I received this error: #1007 – Can’t create database ‘jlblog2’; database exists.

Now I’m not sure if I should change something else or go back to square one and do something different.

I thought I had done that before but I’ll delete the “new” database and start from scratch. I might have missed a step there, I’ll check back in and let you know how it goes!

Thanks Esmi,
No I didn’t change them because I didn’t want the blogsite.com to go down. (in case I ran into any problems during the move, ha ha)

I did however go to the database table wp-config and change the url it points to there as the wordpress codex explains how to do. That didn’t seem to change anything.

I’m having this same problem! Anyone out there have any ideas how to make sure that the cart clears after a successfully completed order?
