After moving a blog, visitor can see correct website, but an admin can't

  • I moved wordpress website from one host to another:
    1. Uploaded all files from previous host with FileZilla
    2. Installed wordpress on new host
    3. Uploaded all files to the new host with FileZilla
    4. Changed wp-config.

    Now when I login as admin I see a basic theme with only post “Hello world.” But when I logout and visit website as a visitor, I see everything correctly, all pages, all posts, etc.

    It seems that for an admin there is a different version of a site than for a visitor.
    How to fix this? :-/

  • did you backup the database and restore it to the now hoster?

    You need to review Moving_WordPress.

    I already read the link about moving WordPress…

    I didn’t backuped database from old host, but rather downloaded all website files with FileZilla.

    Visitor can see everything correctly, but admin can’t. Admin sees basic WordPress theme and post Hello world…

    Your posts are located in the database. If you download all files, you won’t get any posts. You also have to move the database. Export everything from your old hosters database and import it to your new hosters database. Otherwise you will just see the default Hello World.

    Just follow the instructions in Moving_Wordpress from the beginning – like esmi said.

    They worked for me everytime I moved a blog. (Changing urls, keeping urls, …)

    But how is it possible to see as a visitor, all posts then?
