Domain migration database connection

    Hi Roland (or anyone with a solution or suggestion),

    I’ve migrated my website from production to a local server (using MAMP on a Mac) successfully following these instructions, except for the participants database.

    I can see all the settings, etc. in the WordPress dashboard and all the original data entries in the database are there. However, when I access the page that has the shortcode [pdb_list], that’s all I see is the shortcode.

    When I try to access the single entry page (i.e. here https://localhost:8888/people/profile/?pdb=6), it fails to have accounted for the actual address, which is https://localhost:8888/local_cicr/people/profile/?pdb=6. I think this is due to the relative link having a / in front of it, as I found that this happened in other relative links I’d setup on the site’s other pages and posts that contained a leading slash.

    If I modify the single entry address to the correct site URL as above, I get to the page, but with all the shortcodes I’ve set up that call the wanted information for a single entry.

    It seems as though the shortcodes aren’t “activated” or something and are not being processed by WordPress when called, so to speak.

    Thoughts on these things, especially how to repair them?

    Thanks,
    Dean

    Make sure your “WordPress Address” setting is correct. You may also need to check your permalinks settings and re-save them to flush the rewrite rules.

    Thanks, Roland. I tried those first before posting, but no luck. I’m not sure what’s going on, but I’ll post the answer here if I figure it out.

    Ahah! So I use the plugin called Plugin Organizer to turn of PD on all pages it’s not in use b/c I’ve noticed that PD slows down page loading (based on stats from P3 (Plugin Performance Profiler)).

    For some reason (either during the migration or accidentally (and no idea how accidentally since it never worked), PD was turned off for the profile page, which killed it. I seem to remember that being the case, that if there’s no working profile page, PD doesn’t function, yeah?

    Regardless, it’s working now that I turned it back on on that page!

    Thanks for a great plugin, Roland.

    This is unexplored territory for me. I don’t know what the effect of using the Plugin Organizer plugin would have on the Participants Database plugin, I’ve never tested it.

    I’m glad you got it working.
