If you’re moving off of Bluehost, you can simply download the files as well as export the database using phpMyAdmin. To do so go to cPanel > phpMyAdmin > select the database as found in your wp-config.php file, and then click export along the top tabs to export it, select SQL and click go. This will download a db_name.sql to your computer that you can import much the same way.

It sounds like something in the wp_options table in the database. If you’re wanting the www to come up, then I’d suggest checking the site and home URLs in the database. Here are some directions for that: https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Changing_The_Site_URL#Changing_the_URL_directly_in_the_database

Okay, I see what you mean, thanks for the clarification. I haven’t heard of any issues over at Bluehost or SimpleScripts of that happening. Is your site still functioning as it should (posts and pages working, dashboard functional, wordpress admin you can login at)? If its not functioning as it should, I’d suggest getting their tech support on the line.

I use Bluehost too, but I don’t understand your problem. Do you just mean your site URL in simple scripts changed to having the period (.) on the end? If so, thats not really a problem if the functionality of the site is the same.

On Bluehost or any other cPanel host, you can use phpMyAdmin. You click the icon and then select the database on the left. Then the database tables appear and you can select which one to look at. However, don’t go changing things unless you absolutely know what you’re doing, as this can cause larger issues than you want/need. This might help: https://www.siteground.com/tutorials/phpmyadmin/ I just found it on a quick google search, which you might do to find out more about phpmyadmin. Good luck!

I just tested, and my from address in the receiving end was just “admin.” There are a few things I would suggest though. In combination with this plugin, use the SMTP plugin. Just search for “SMTP” and it will come up. Make sure your host is just “localhost” (they have https://localhost) with port 26, and you have an existing email address and password. I found those 2 to work best with each other.

For this to work correctly on Bluehost, you’ll have to use an email address that is created in the Bluehost cPanel. Your user@hostname is what scripted email defaults to, and having the from address as an existing email should fix the issue.

You can change those URLs in the database, using phpMyAdmin from the Bluehost cPanel. They do have a video tutorial on how to do that: https://my.bluehost.com/cgi/help/wordpressurl That should work!

simplypaleo, you might want to open a different post, these are probably 2 different problems. runcupcake: Did you change the dns so your followers are going to your new host instead of WordPress.com? It does take time for everything to get routed over.

Did you change this in the database? Bluehost has a nice tutorial on how to do this in the database using phpMyAdmin: https://my.bluehost.com/cgi/help/wordpressurl If that doesn’t work, and you can still get into wp-admin, I might suggest the VelvetBlues update URL plugin: https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/velvet-blues-update-urls/ Good luck!

Just checked with Bluehost, as I host there too. It was a host issue, but they should have corrected. Something with php, as I gather, and adding a new php.ini fixed the problem temporarily. If there are issues still with your WP site, and you’re hosting with them, I’d give them a call.

What are the errors? It is sounding like a php memory error or something similar.

Couldn’t agree more about not incorporating plugins ?? That would be AFTER the move.

ps, here is that plugin URL:

Even creating a subdomain, you’ll still have a folder. For example, if you have test.domain.com, your folder will be in publc_html/test. You can access it both ways. I would suggest building it out whatever way you wish, then using the velvet blues update urls plugin to change the URLs. You’re going to have to change from test.domain.com or domain.com/test either way to just domain.com so it really shouldn’t make a difference how you build it out. You’ll need to do it in the sub folder, then when ready to make the move, move the content(files) and then update the URLs using the plugin or another method.
