Forms Missing After Moving Site Local to Live

  • I have created multiple forms with Jazzy Forms and Visual Form Builder on my local server (MAMP). When I transferred the files to take the site live, the forms are no longer there. It appears that all the plugin files were transferred. Could this be a database problem, am I missing a link that wasn’t replaced? Any help would be much appreciated.

    Here’s a link to one of the jazzy forms not showing up:

  • How did you transfer the files to the live site? There are often many URL’s and paths stored in the WP database in ‘serialized’ form. That is, the strings are stored along with their length. Using a normal ‘search and replace’ will cause problems if the new URL or path is a different length from the old one. You must use a special tool to copy from one site to another.

    Here is an article with the steps that I use to migrate (copy) a site: https://wordpress.mcdspot.com/2012/08/22/migrating-a-wordpress-site-step-by-step/
