PS: apologies for mispelling your user name twice! in my earlier messages.

Not sure what was going on with my typing. lol.

Great stuff.
Would be good to know how you solved it.
Good luck.

Hi jackson.kelly.

@claytonjames is right.

If you dont have any documentation of your WordPress install, e.g. an email from Softaculous when it was first installed, and you didn’t backup your wp-config file, then your best bet would be to visit your hosting account (cpanel or plesk) to retrieve database information.

You may be able to get the database name from the list of databases in your hosting account. If WordPress was installed automatically, you’ll probably find them named something like wrdp_03 or similar.

In many cases, the database username and password will be the same as your hosting account one. Sometimes it isn’t (in fact, it shouldn’t be). In that case, you will have to check each user account that has permission to each database. That should help you identify database username and password.

You may then need to visit each database on your hosting account, using phpmyadmin, to determine if it is the one you want.

From phpmyadmin go to the database, and go to the wp_options table.

In there, look for siteurl in option_name field. This should help you identify the site you want.

You will also need to change the WordPress admin password if you don’t have a record of that.

Hope that helps.

Hi RoteBrezel

You may then need to edit the WordPress database for “sophieelmenthaler.de/wordpress”.

Use this page as a guide:
https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Changing_The_Site_URL

Go to the section entitled: “Changing the URL directly in the database”, and follow the steps there. That should allow you to login to your site.

You can then use Duplicator to migrate. Alternatively, you can follow the instructions here:

https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Moving_WordPress

Give me a shout if you need any help, or get stuck. More than happy to help you out.

All the best.

Hi RoteBrezel

Thanks for the clarification.

Are you able to login to sophieelmenthaler.de/wordpress ?

I’m assuming that is where you’ve now installed Duplicator.

Run through the Duplicator process there, create a package and download it.

Then head over to Plesk, and remove the WordPress app and database from the main site (my assumption is that you don’t need the WordPress content there).

After removing the app, re-create it. During the re-creation process, remember to leave the destination folder empty, or set it to

/

(depends on your Plesk version).

If that works well, you should now have WordPress installed on your main domain , i.e. sophieelmenthaler.de

Take a note of database info details for this installation (you will need it later)

That is part one.

Next step is to copy the duplicator package and installer.php onto the new WordPress location. You will need to do this via FTP (easiest), although Plesk also has a file manager that you can use.

Once that is done, visit sophieelmenthaler.de/installer.php, and follow the prompts (provide the database info) to reload your site onto the main domain.

After reloading the site, you should check that all links, etc are working, then go ahead and delete the sophieelmenthaler.de/wordpress installation.

If your site has been up for a while you will need to think about a 301 redirect from your old to the new site.

Hope that helps some.

Hi megatype

WPyogi is right. You should contact whomever developed or sold you the theme.

In your case, the theme *might* have been developed by Elegant themes, but it is harder to tell.

This is because your theme does not appear to have been implemented as an actual child theme. Instead it has been created as a standalone parent theme. There doesn’t seem to be any connection with Elegant themes, from what I can see.

In any case, commercial themes are out of scope. Please ask your theme developer for direct assistance.

Hope that helps.

Hi RoteBrezel

On which hosting site did you install Duplicator; the original site? Is this site also running WordPress? and does it have the content that you are trying to migrate?

Also, is it on a different host to the Plesk site?

Sorry for the questions. I’m just trying to understand your setup, so I can offer you some potential solutions.

Thanks

Hi it2word

I didn’t see your link, but if it is the Supernova theme in the www.ads-software.com repo, then I would advice that you start by posting a support request here:

https://www.ads-software.com/support/theme/supernova

The theme author should be able to give some pointers on what to check for. Hatoms are usually a theme issue, unless you are using some type of meta data plugins.

Hope that helps

Hi vinod7007

Why do you need to access your localhost server from the internet?

One would expect that localhost servers are used for development and testing. Meaning that you want it “sandboxed”, i.e. not accessible outside your local computer (or local network at most).

Having your localhost server available over the internet could potentially pose a security risk. Try to avoid that problem.

If you need to have your development work accessible online, e.g for a client, then you should consider a hosting account, e.g. bluehost, etc., or even a free hosting account, and place your files there.

That way all your test content, images, etc, will be available to all.

Just my opinion/advice.

Hope that helps.

Hi RoteBrezel

You could try using a plugin like Duplicator to clone your site from one server to another:

https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/duplicator/

Even from localhost to live domain, it works well.

With Duplicator, no need to manually edit your urls. It all gets changed based on your new site parameters.

The way to do it would be to install Duplicator on your original domain, create a package, then go to the destination server and restore the package there. No fuss.

Hope that helps

Hi it2word

Those are hatom errors as you rightly pointed out, and they are likely coming from your WordPress theme.

Which theme are you using? (post a link)

You may need to examine the theme templates, to see how they have handled structured data. Otherwise, you could contact the theme developers to ask about this.

Hope that helps

Hi megatype

Yep. That’s exactly what happens when a Theme bundles WooCommerce files. The risk of outdated templates is increased.

Which theme are you using (please post a link). Is it a www.ads-software.com theme?

If not, it may be more difficult to advise.

The first thing I would do is try to contact the theme developers for assistance. They may have an updated version of the theme, which solves your problem.

For .org themes, the theme’s extended support page is a good place to start.

The other alternative is to try and fix each template manually. You could use a “diff” check to compare the current WooCommerce template files, e.g. “single-product-reviews.php”, with your own version. Notepad++ can help here.

Hope that helps.

Hi learningtocode

@RossMitchel has answered your question.

I thought I’d chip in as well, as I’ve just now finished deploying a site using Duplicator.

https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/duplicator/

The plugin works really well for migrating sites from one host to another, and it will help you get your sites up very quickly. Duplicator also updates all the links, etc on your site, in one go. You just need to fill in the url of the new site, and it gets updated; automatic.

Will you be moving the site to another hosting account after development? If not, then you probably don’t need to clone (Duplicator).

In response to your questions:

1. The best way to start is to create a temporary domain for your development. Point this at your dev hosting account. This temp domain will be available to your client for viewing.

2. Unzip the contents of the tar gz. What is inside it? Cpanel files? database? this is important because as @RossMitchel mentions, each element has its place.

3. After unzipping, set everything up, and continue development/snagging

4. When your client is ready to point domains, just point their nameservers to your already existing hosting, and add the necessary “addon” domain

5. If the site needs to move to another hosting account, then you can install the Duplicator plugin, and run through the cloning process.

Hope that helps some.

Hi there. customizr theme allows you to choose different skins. If none of the theme’s skins match your logo, you can edit them. Look in the theme folder (either via ftp, or extract the theme zip file). Find the folder “inc/css”. You will find all the stylesheets for each skin. The orange skin is there as well. You can now edit them as needed.
