@chamapeak You can use MAMP for Mac.

Here’s a list with tutorials teaching how to install it:

Please let me know if you’re struggling with some of these alternatives so I can assist you.

It’s set as ‘localhost’ when the MySQL is installed on the same server as the web/host server, but sometimes the providers separate them into different servers.

But thinking about it, I think it is quite unlikely to be a DB error at this point because all you see is a white screen and not a DB error message.

Well, if it is not a DB error, not a host/server problem and not a wrong migration method problem then it must be some incompatibility with the migrated version of your site.

I’ll pass a list with some procedures, and hopefully one of them may solve this problem:
-Try manually resetting your plugins. If that resolves the issue, reactivate each one individually until you find the cause. Also remember to deactivate any plugins in the mu-plugins folder (if you have created such folder). The easiest way is to rename that folder to mu-plugins-old.
-Try to manually switch the current theme to the default one by following this article.
-Try Troubleshooting with your browser: Your browser can help you identify JavaScript issues or conflicts and this article can assist you in doing that diagnosis.
-Disable Browser plugins like Adblock and similar.
-Increase memory limit in wp-config: review this codex for some guidance for increasing memory available for PHP.
– Ask your provider to increase the PHP memory limit directly in the PHP config.
– If all fails, try MANUALLY updating. Download a fresh copy of the WordPress .zip file to your computer, unzip it, and use that to copy up all files and folders EXCEPT the wp-config.php file and the /wp-content/ directory. You may need to delete the old wp-admin and wp-includes folders and files on your server before uploading the new ones. Please read the Manual Update directions first.

Also when you said you linked the user to the database, that means you already gave the user the necessary permissions, isn’t it?

Have you tried to access this new database(by PHPMyAdmin) using the new user’ credentials, just to see if you can read and write on its tables?

By the way, the process you described is exactly how it should be done.

The only thing I did not figure is:
Have you updated the MySQL host in the wp-config?
Because you did it all in a way that, theoretically, the other info (like username and password) will be the same.

The fresh/from scratch installation would test if your current host is working properly.

It has read a .html, but can it read a .php file? Is the PHP installed and setup correctly? Is the PHP updated?

If you can install a new WordPress site, just for testing, and it works normally then we rule out a server/host problem and we can proceed looking for the source of the problem in less places.

Although the way you explained, got me a little bit confused. I’m not sure if you actually did it, or if you installed WordPress from scratch, and even before you test the wp-admin on this new installation, you overwrote this new WordPress with the files from the old Website.

To summarize, my point is, if you can run a new WordPress installation then it got to be a problem either with the migration process or with the old Website.

Maybe this can be a problem related to other factors aside the migration itself.

Denne fejl opst?r, n?r WordPress kr?ver mere hukommelse end det bel?b, der for ?jeblikket er tildelt.
F?rst skal du kontakte din v?rtudbyder og bede dem om at h?ve PHP-hukommelsesgr?nsen.
Hvis det ikke l?ser problemet, skal du redigere wp-config.php filen og ?ndre gr?nsen der ogs?.

Disse artikler kan give dig flere detaljer om dette problem:

I wouldn’t be able to tell for sure how that page/post was inserted.

However, if you want to delete it you can use the Bulk Delete plugin, it allows you to locate a page/post by many ways and then proceed with its removal.

Please let me know how that goes.

I couldn’t detect which theme you’re using with the common tools for that.
But it seems to me that you’re using the Genesis theme.
If that’s the case then you can use this plugin to customize the header:
https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/genesis-custom-headers/

However if you need further assistance, it is better to stick with the theme’s own support page, like Hudson indicated.

This Codex tutorial can help you to perform the migration:

You can also use the Duplicator plugin to do so (I prefer to use it).
They explain how to use the plugin in the official repository page at:
https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/duplicator/

And here’s a demo video as well:

@anevins I know, I tried to use his comment to emphasize my prior answer.

Also I agreed with him in the end because that part was missing in my first answer.

@staartmees I’ve never said that I’d give the credentials.

In fact the first thing that was asked was ‘what’s the hostname?’

And because of that I offered myself to find only the ftp address, which isn’t a confidential information like the username and password.

This can be found by using common tools that trace domains information public available.

I saw this same type of question being answered like this by Moderators and so I replicated the pattern.

Anyway, only the provider will be able to give the full credentials indeed, and after having them, @hyrum0 only will have to follow the other instructions I gave.

Summarizing, the FTP is the place where your Website files are stored.

The WordPress needs its credentials (address, username and password most likely) in order to be able to install plugins, themes and other features.

No, the hostname isn’t just the name of the site.
Which site you need help with? Please share it and then I can tell you the hostname/ftp address.

Also, you don’t need to setup each folder, you just have to configure it once and then you good to go.

Are you using a theme called “Genesis” ?
