It seems to be some issues with a plugin. Remove temporarily all the plugin files so you have a vanilla WordPress and try again. If it works, start copying back and enabling the plugins one by one until you find out which plugin is giving you problems.

Hi Harrisharris,

Why don’t you simply install XAMPP or WAMP on your PC and develop the website there? Such software (assuming you are using Windows) do not require a lot of resources and you can take your time developing it. Once ready you can simply upload the files and the database.

Hi,

Are you able to access https://localhost/wp-admin or https://localhost? What does it show when you try?

Hi rkartman,

It is not a problem at all to run WordPress on Windows. Check out this post:

It would be better to install WordPress yourself then using such tools as Fantastico. It is a very simply procedure, described below;

1. Delete all the files which are already on your website.
2. Download the latest WordPress from here.
3. Extract all the files.
4. Rename wp-config-sample.php to wp-config.php.
5. Enter the db host (typically localhost, database name, username and password) and upload all the files.
6. Access https://[yourwebsite]/ and you will be prompted with an easy to use installation wizard.

That should be it.

Hi Formbi,

Backup the database from the old host and restore it on the new database. As you said, edit the wp-config.php file with the new database, username and password and upload the files to the new location.

If you are also changing the domain of the website, once migrated login to the WordPress admin portal and from the Settings > General node update to the new URL.

Hi,

This is an English forum, please post in English.

As all suggested you should be safe by doing the following:

1. Download the next available build of WordPress.
2. Copy the wp-config.php details from your live server to the offline files (mainly db name, username, password and host).
3. Delete all files.
4. Upload the new files.
5. Once uploaded navigate to https://[yourwebsite]/wp-admin/upgrade.php.

If there is a need for you to login, WordPress will prompt you for it and yes you will still be able to login since the latest files have been already uploaded.

Repeat the above process for each build of WordPress.

Let us know how it went.

Usually it happens because of encoding differences between the source and the remote database.

Why don’t you just disabled the theme and use the default WordPress theme temporarily just to confirm that it is the theme? At least like this, in 1 minute you can conclude if the problem is coming from the theme or not.

Once you install WAMP server all you have to do is to login to it’s admin portal (typically available at https://127.0.0.1) From there you can access the MySQL Configuration, typically though PhpMyAdmin web interface.

Once in MySQL, create a new database, new username and password with access to such database and then you should enter such details (db name, username and password) in the wp-config.php.

Correct. www is a sub domain technically speaking. In this case the DNS records are already in place as per the below;

> katiesfabfaces.co.uk
Server: google-public-dns-a.google.com
Address: 8.8.8.8

Non-authoritative answer:
Name: katiesfabfaces.co.uk
Address: 109.203.121.198

> https://www.katiesfabfaces.co.uk
Server: google-public-dns-a.google.com
Address: 8.8.8.8

Non-authoritative answer:
Name: katiesfabfaces.co.uk
Address: 109.203.121.198
Aliases: https://www.katiesfabfaces.co.uk

So what you need to do now is from your hosting provider configuration, configure the website to accept also https://www.katiesfabfaces.co.uk. Right now https://www.katiesfabfaces.co.uk is configured to redirect to katiesfabfaces.co.uk, i.e. not keep the www. Is this the correct way you want it?

Hi,

Check the web server logs and see what they say. Typically they contain all the needed information. these can be found from the hosting provider’s control panel, unless you have your own hosted server.

Very useful article from WordPress:

@esmi

Very good point indeed ?? Though I tend to check the FTP client queue also and keep an eye on the missed uploads. Good method though.
