I’ve read so many articles, my head is swimming. ?? I know I’m probably making it a bigger deal than it actually is…I’m one of those guys who will analyze a situation to death before making a decision to actually do it. It’s that “Measure twice, cut once” mentality.

Fong, I’m trying to figure out if I should leave the “old domain website” intact for now, and setup the “new domain website”. That way I at least have the site fully working that I can refer back to, copy/paste etc in case something goes wrong.

So far, I have backed up my Database using PHPMyAdmin, Downloaded the entire website files to my hard drive via Filezilla FTP and backed up WordPress using Tools>Export within WordPress.

….that’s it.

Scary isn’t the word for it. LOL. I’m pretty new to designing using WordPress. This is probably my 5th WordPress site but my first domain migration.

Right now, I’m reading and re-reading to make sure I fully understand the process before I jump in and mess everything up.

Thanks for the encouragement guys.

Wow cube, that looks much more complex than the method I was looking at in the above links I provided. Is it safe to say there is no easy quick fix to my dilemma?

From what I can see online, I would want to change BOTH of the items then follow this https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Changing_The_Site_URL#Changing_the_URL_directly_in_the_database instructions on editing the database site URL.

Is that correct? I REALLY don’t want to “break” the website and spend forever trying to get it back up and running. I really need to know exactly what I’m doing before I make changes so that the transition is as smoothe as possible.

According to the WordPress site, it says, “Site Address (URL) – Enter the address you want people to type in their browser to reach your WordPress site. This is the directory where WordPress’s main index.php file is installed. The Site address (URL) is identical to the WordPress address (URL) (above) unless you are giving WordPress its own directory. WordPress will trim a slash (/) from the end. If you defined the WP_HOME constant in your wp-config.php file, that value will appear in this field and you will not be able to make changes to it from the WordPress administration screen. “

My website was installed at originaldomain.com/site/ but the newdomain.com’s nameservers are pointed into the /site/ folder.

Would I change the Site Address URL to newdomain.com to change all of the URL’s within the site to reflect the new domain?

Glad I’m not the only one. LOL

I do get this error at the bottom of my browser. Would this have anything to do with it?

Object Base Domain Not Allowed: Object at URL ‘https://momtomarathon.com/cooler-weather/’ of type ‘article’ is invalid because the domain ‘momtomarathon.com’ is not allowed for the specified application id ‘458809377485008’. You can verify your configured ‘App Domain’ at https://developers.facebook.com/apps/458809377485008.

Yes, it was user error. LOL. Your plugin works great. Highly recommend it to others.

codedrobot figured it out! For some reason, if your “Display Name” isn’t the same as your login id, the data will not import. It is working properly now. I just went to your site and made a donation. ??

Thanks guys for your help. I’m just trying to make it as easy for my wife as possible to update her website and this plugin will do just that.

Hmmm….I just changed mine to RSS and disabled cache but mine is still showing same error. No activities found. Is there something that I am doing wrong in Garmin Connect Website? The preferences are set to “Everyone” and I have the padlock unlocked for each activity.

Hi Dick, can you provide a link to your website so I can see how it’s working on your site? I have tried to add the plugin to my wife’s website and cannot get it to import the data from Garmin Connect.

If you look at https://momtomarathon.com/blog/ you can see at the bottom of the right column where it says “Garmin Connect Activities” that is is not displaying the information from Garmin Connect.

I contacted the developer of the widget but he has not been able to provide an answer as to why it isn’t retrieving the data from the Garmin Connect Website.

I seem to have met all of the requirements for the plugin to work:
I’m running PHP 5.2.17
I have named all of the activities
In the Garmin Preferences, I have it set to allow “Everyone” to view the activities.

I’ve also searched the internet and these forums and cannot find any help with it.

Thanks in advance for any help that you can provide

I installed the plugin but am getting an error saying “error getting activities” in the widget.

All is well again, I mistakingly changed both the “WordPress Address” and the “Site Address” in the General Settings. I had to go into PHP Admin and manually change the site address and home to get it working again.

Followed the above steps again and all is working well. ??

Also, in the instructions, it says to “MOVE (DON’T COPY) the web.config file to your root directory.” I do not see a web.config file, only a wp.config.php file. Is that the same thing?

Something isn’t right when I make the changes. After making all of the changes, I lost all of my styles on the website. The site was trying to locate the CSS files in the root directory instead of inside the wordpress directory.

After putting things back the way they were, I can no longer login to my control panel. I can go to https://floridafreeshafters.com/wordpress/wp-login.php and login, but when I hit submit, it says page not found since it is trying to open https://floridafreeshafters.com/wp-login.php.

Because of that, I can’t even get logged back into the control panel. Any idea what went wrong and how to fix it?
