from local to real host – always lose some setting

  • hi , i have a really strange problem in backup and move my site from local to host

    i lose the setting of themes , some widgets , …

    i wonder which steps i forget to do every time and get this problem

    look at my steps :

    1-backup all folders and files with win-zip ( zip format) and upload and extract in host

    2-create database in host and copy user, pass to wp-config.php

    3-export my local database and change all ” https://localhost/” string with “https://mysite.com/ with some text editor

    then go to phpmyadmin in my host panel and import it to my database

    ——————————————————————–
    all these steps make my site work in online mode

    but i wondered whats my mistake during these steps to make my site not load perfect just like in local

    i must copy or set some setting of theme or widgets to make this completely like local

    it make me crazy , what file or database can ignore or not see in my way to move from local to host ?

  • 3-export my local database and change all ” https://localhost/” string with “https://mysite.com/ with some text editor

    After you have imported your local db into the new db you created on the host, use your host’s db tool (usually phpMyAdmin) to edit the siteurl and home fields of the wp_options table with your live site domain:

    https://mysite.com

    Then log into your site dashboard and install and run this plugin:

    — select all options EXCEPT the last one (GUID)

    Once that is done, go to:

    Settings > Permalinks and Save.
