Issue solved. Good support.

Thank you.

Thank you for the reply.

I didn’t change the defaulf options when creating the package. Also the database user that is mentioned in the wp-config.php is the one and only admin account.

What are my options?

Greetings,

I have managed to make some progress in this situation. I deleted everything in the domain’s directory via FTP (except the .htaccess file) and all the redirections are now intact and work correctly.

However, there is still the database itself (which I access via phpMyadmin). I noticed that the databese looks quite messed up and doesn’t have the 11 defaul WP tables it should have. Why is this?

There’s a total of 61 tables and all start with a prefix: “mod803_”. What does this mean? Does it have something to do with the fact that used the duplicator plugin to migrate a site inside one database?

So what I am asking is this: Why are the database’s tables messed up and how can I restore them to the original condition? And is there now any duplicate content inside the database that I should delete?

Getting there.

Thank you for the reply.

So if I understood correctly I’ll only need to keep two things: 1) the directory of the domain and 2) the .htaccees file which is inside that directory.

So I can delete everthing else, including wp-admin, wp-content, wp-config.php, etc. — so everything goes except the .htaccess file?

And everything in the actual database (accessibe by phpMyadmin) that is duplicate content I can also delete without affecting the new site or the redirections?

Getting there!

Thank you for the helpful reply.

So I can just copy the old site’s .htaccess file, remove everything else from the old domain’s directory (via FTP), reinstall WordPress and then copy paste the old .htaccess file to replace the automatcally generated one? And after that all the specific redirections should work as before?

If I understood the database’s role correctly there should also be duplicate content in the actual databse (accessible by phpMyadmin) after the site’s migration. Should I also purge the database to remove the old content or is there anything that might affect the redirections?

Complicated!

Greetings,

thank you for the reply. That is not what I was asking, though, as I already have setup the 301 redirections. What I want is to delete everything else except the redirections. For example if I delete the old site’s whole directory via FTP then I’ll also lose the redirections.

Or would it be possible to do just that (delete everything) then recreate the old site’s directory, reinstall wordpress and use some plugin to redo the redirections? The problem is that I want to keep all the specific redirections (for example from old site’s post X to new site’s post X) and not lose SEO.

All help appreciated.

Greetings,

I don’t see how that plugin has to do anything with the problem I described. It seems that I will have to seek a solution elsewhere. I thank you for your time.

Greetings,

thank you for the reply. As I have only 1 database what are my options then? I want to turn the old site into a one big redirect but remove all the other content that take space in the database. The two sites or domains have both their own folders in the database’s root folder. As I can’t log into the old site anymore I guess I have to delete the files via FTP? I’m just wondering which files to save and which ones to remove so that the redirections aren’t affected, and of course how to achieve this.

Thank you for your time.

Greetings,

thank you for the swift reply. That solution seems to do the trick.

Yes, if I understood correctly, as I have no extension or plugins installed in the Chrome browser. I wonder what’s the reason behind this?

Actually the archives seem to work on Firefox and IE but not on Google Chrome. Why does this problem occur only when using the Chrome browser?

Thank you again, it worked… well, partially, because part of the text will now appear below the image if there’s more text than image. Is there a way to make it so that both the image and the text wold hold their own vertical columns?

I have not been able to get this working.

Any help appreciated!

Hi,

still waiting for a clarification as I didn’t quite understand the answer. I would like to solve this (is possible) by adding custom CSS to my theme’s custom CSS form in the Customization menu.

Any help appreciated!

Thank you for the reply.

So can I just add this code to my theme’s custom CSS? And would this also affect other archive pages like categories and tags (preferred)?
