a big WHEW!!!!!!

Fixrunner.com installed a child-theme the correct way – maybe I did something wrong 9 mths. ago, don’t know… ANYWAY, it’s working, my site is saved, however there is a big issue with the theme, every page/post is empty in WP, so have to see if they can help with that too, otherwise I’ll never be able to edit any page/post and that’s not good… I also have to fix a few bugs and send them a list of what I can’t do myself, but that looks like it’s trivial so far…

Thanks again, check it out: https://www.jessicavoiceover.com

I promise you and to the world. I will NEVER EVER attempt to move wordpress again! EVER!

I can sleep again, woohoo! ?? I will now mark this topic resolved!

I’ll let you know! Thanks!

yeah, when I posted my very first msg. I wrote that I had an .sql backup, but then mentioned later that it was of the current DB, not the relaunch and that I thought I WAS backing up the relaunch DB the whole time… I, of course, have made a backup each time I did something since then, but those won’t be of much use I don’t think… Anyway, I have a meeting with someone today, hopefully he can help me out!

“I would next drop all tables from your database and then re-import your previous (relaunch) backup and then again do the SQL update for your URL in one shot.”

I unfortunately do NOT have a DB backup of /relaunch! I thought I was backing it up with the WP DB backup plugin all this time, BUT found out after I moved it yesterday that it was only the current DB I was backing up, NOT the /relaunch DB… I didn’t realize that it was a separate DB. SO stupid, should have paid someone to move this, it would have been less than $50 or so!

I wouldn’t be worrying now if I had that backup, but now I’m really scared…

Thank you. I was just contacted by the fixrunner’s support team and I went to set them up as a new user and my user field is BLANK. I’m not even listed as a user in WP anymore… oh boy, I don’t even know if they can help me… I don’t want to give them my login, yikes!

yup, I wouldn’t want to touch some of those plugins…

no, it’s not in the provider’s skill set, but the first guy was very helpful, but when I called back, it was someone else and he was not helpful, even when I was trying to figure out why their automatic backups weren’t complete…

I started a support ticket (not free) at fixrunner.com, so am waiting for an answer from them. It’s my last hope/chance as I spent literally months on my new design and it looked great and I’d crumble if I had to redo it… cross your fingers for me please! :/

Thanks again for your kind support!

Thanks! I’ve been in contact with divi support since yesterday as well, but they keep suggesting migration plugins which isn’t exactly what I need… You were the only one so far who has been able to help me, so that you from the bottom of my heart!

I will look into my plugins and file mgr. now… That sounds like a provider thing as it was set up from them, but as I wrote earlier, they were of NO help whatsoever and quite rude about it too…

I changed everything to www again because I know the permalinks were with www.

www is also showing in wp_options in such fields: /hp/ce/ad/ig/www/wp-content/uploads/et_temp

But it’s probably like you said with FTP: ‘public root’ that happens to have that name
===========
NOW, I am using the divi theme by elegant themes and when I go into WP, there is absolutely NO content or page builder in pages/posts… Nothing.

I have the sneaky suspicion that the FTP backup from my provider was missing information as there were some images missing. Could there have been important information missing or is all the text content in the DB? I moved the backup files and erased everything in /relaunch once I saw it was working, ’cause it was working in chrome at first…

But I strongly believe, in fact, I know for sure, that www was in my wordpress & site url before

BUT www wasn’t in the thousands of urls under wp_posts

AND www is the root directory in FTP …

Any suggestions? Shouldn’t everything be consistent?

aHA! I see it was NOT using www, SO I deleted www, BUT I only deleted it in the relaunch code, meaning, I went from ‘https://jessicavoiceover.com/relaunch’ to ‘https://www.jessicavoiceover.com’ and then noticed that I made that mistake and loaded: ‘https://www.jessicavoiceover.com’ to ‘https://jessicavoiceover.com’ … but still, NO changes online. I see the change in wp_posts and wp_options though, but chaos still reigns online…

ah, OK, thanks! I ran it again, but no change… /relaunch is still in all urls in wp_posts and chaos still appears online…

I see under wp_posts that ALL URL’s have /relaunch in them which is what that code was supposed to fix I assume, is that correct? It’s just not working… ??

Sorry, had to go to bed…

I erased /relaunch in phpMyAdmin directly and tried to run that code exactly like you requested which is what I did yesterday too, but I keep getting this error msg:

So are you telling me no one can help me? I have now lost everything?
