  • Dear Dsnapr,
    Can appreciate your worries, when three years of content at stake. Am a little confused. let me ask some random questions:

    Does your new site have a new and different domain name.
    Is your new site on the same host as your old site.
    Does your hosting company only allow 1 domain name/website or multiple sites.

    So you’re say that when you type in https://www.oldsite.com the results you get are https://www.newsite.com

    am away to bed, so hopefully someone else will assist.

    Dear nathanvj,
    This traffic is annoying, and ruins your Google analytics analysis. If it really is a hacking attack, it can slow your users access times.

    The default settings on Wordfence need a bit of tweaking IMHO. Within the paid version, you can block IP addresses from particular countries, eg. Moldova, Russia, China.

    You can also block traffic from IP addresses that appear to be trying to hack your site. I block the IP address of any traffic trying to hack the site for 30 days, not the 5 minutes, which I think is the default.

    It might be referral spam, it is worthwhile checking out Google analytics to see if these visits are referrals. You can block domains generating referral spam in the .htaccess file. There is also a plugin for Google analytics that filters known referral spam.

    Good luck

    Dear MH13,
    My guess is you want to check out Google search console, and check out what URL’s have been submitted and verified for this website. Possibly, someone else has claimed ownership of the site.

    checking out firefox, right click inspect element

    It might be a JavaScript problem, since there is <html class=”no-js” which I think is created by modernizer. I have js enabled on Firefox,

    There is also an error in “Failure at Presize of Slider:ReferenceError: jQuery is not defined”

    I wonder if jQuery is loading first, before all the other library’s that seem to be using jQuery.

    Dupliator by life in the Grid seems designed for transferring from one host to another.

    So install Duplicator on oldhost, and run it. It creates 2 files which you download and save on your laptop. One of the files is installer.php.

    You might, just to test things, install the version of your site on your local version of XAMPP. This at least proves to yourself that it works, and you haven’t lost anything.

    Then, I think, change the DNS with your registrar, to point to the new host, instead of the old host.

    Then install WordPress for your domain name with your new host. You will need the database username and database password details.

    Then ftp the installer and the other file to the root directory of your new host. Go to https://your-website-name/installer.php and enter the database username and database password details.

    It should install on your new host.

    Usually webhosting companies offer to do the transfer for you, as sketch said. This, as you can see, is a bit easier.

    I use Duplicator from Life in the Grid to transfer a website from localhost running XAMP to the webserver.
