double checked permalinks in WP settings? Otherwise definitely contact their excellent dedicated support department.

What will happen when you do nothing special, is everybody that comes in on the old links through search engines / social media, etc. will see a 404 page not found error. You can either prevent that by for example utilizing https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/404-to-301/ and forward to for example the homepage. But it’s better for both SEO juice and user experience to forward 1-by-1 (old to new) to the best matching new page links. Trying to find the plugin for that — as there is one to easily assist with that — but the keyword is mod_rewrite. Without redirection the links will disappear in the search engines eventually.

downtime of the current site ain’t necessary. Just clone (both DB and files) to temporary site. Such as https://dev.example.com subdomain. And setup the maintenance page on the dev environment. To then alter https://www.example.com to old.example.com when you’ve finishing dev (and change that to www). Minimum downtime and also gives plenty of time to do the dev right.

htaccess rules are dealt with in order of priority. Try to move “Redirect 301 /”-rule to the bottom of the other redirect links. *edit* but … not familiar with the simplified 301 redirection though. Infact didn’t even know that was possible. Learning something new everyday. ?? I prefer using this:

RedirectMatch ^/$ https://www.annalisamantovani.com

or

RewriteRule ^/$ https://www.annalisamantovani.com [R]

same thing. But then it’s an exact match without possible(?) risk of wildcards behaviour.

Well you’re definitely on the right track; as you’ve isolated the problem(s), but not the cause of it. Please go through: https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Debugging_in_WordPress … that should reveal why things go wrong, to then get better support from plugin and/or theme creators.

that depends on a great many factors. Things like do you already have the php code? Then it’s as easy as molding that into a plugin of your own: https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Writing_a_Plugin

what do you mean by ‘divided’ ? public homepage vs. membership login ?

Check permalink settings in WP backend. As well as searchform.php in your theme folder (see: https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Creating_a_Search_Page)

All kinds of strange issues going on with the ‘homepage’ when using Avada theme. Please contact https://theme-fusion.com/support/

Googling always works ?? But just login into cloudflare -> select your domain. Then go to 8th blue button “page rules”. Create page rule for https://www.orzado.com/wp-admin/* and play around with page settings, like “disable performance”, “ssl” set to off, “disable apps”. To see where things go wrong.

or your webhoster has updated something on their end and disabled php processing; very rare btw. And make sure any plugins like visual composer or a-like are still active.

There is no export size limit. There is however a limit for how long a php script can run (max_execution time); the dreadful timeout issue. Increase it to 300 instead of the default 60 usually does the trick for most small to medium based sites and most definitely is going to solve uploading large XML / SQL files although you can bypass that with ‘bigdump’. Old, but works great / better when you are familiar with phpmyadmin. If not that, than this https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/wp-migrate-db/ or https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/all-in-one-wp-migration/ is useful.

With regards to tracing the php.ini file (where search seems to fail). This seems like an useful resource: https://www.iis.net/learn/application-frameworks/install-and-configure-php-applications-on-iis/using-fastcgi-to-host-php-applications-on-iis

WP is nothing less and nothing more than a bunch of PHP files with (in most cases) MySQL. As long IIS supports that, there is no reason why it would not support WordPress for the next decades. See: https://www.ads-software.com/about/requirements/

MAMP / LAMP / XAMPP is all the same (stack, different OS). In IIS? Everything is different; as you pointed out already. However once you have MySQL and PHP setup it’s quite easy? Not sure; never tried IIS myself. Also the only environment where I’ve seen WordPress run on IIS, is enterprise. Not because it’s better or more stable, but because it ran next to other things they needed that were running .NET / .ASP (and favor IIS). Hence it’s worth pursuing when you are Visual Studio developer.

If I were you I would hire a designer to make the adjustments. As what you like to do involves CSS/theme customization with/without https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Child_Themes … if your current theme doesn’t support it. Fiverr is a good place.

https://www.landofthesand.com/2017/02/02/the-end-of-the-earth/ … the test one shows up for me. There are a few things you can do with comments approval in settings -> discussion. See: https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Comment_Moderation

Depends on the limitations of XAMPP you configured. What you can try to do is click the thumbnails in your media library (any) and you will get a new page where you can see the location of the uploaded image. That usually unveils a pattern in which images can and couldn’t be saved (hence the blank thumbnail). Size limitation for example (KBs wise I mean) and/or file extensions.

Forwarded? Hmm better contact your hoster to assist with correct DNS setup. To connect blog and domain properly together. As by simply changing it in settings doesn’t work and results indeed in 404s and other nasty errors.

Still got phpmyadmin access? wp_options table first two fields, change those back from your domain to https://69.89.31.183/~spilled to regain access. Or ask hoster to assist with it.

or follow instructions by going to https://www.example.com/wp-admin/maint/repair.php … however if I would have that problem I would feel better by restoring a backup.
