Modest theme settings didn't transfer

  • Hi,
    I’ve transferred my site from localhost to the main server at one.com but the theme settings don’t seem to be in effect.
    The stages I went through are – transferred the wordpress files to one.com server, created the wp-config file, exported the .xml from my localhost version, renamed the locations to point to the correct location, imported via wordpress importer.
    I’ve checked that the theme itself and all the graphics have transferred and all posts, pages and categories appear to be there but all muddled up without the settings created on the localhost version.
    As far as I can see everything is pointing to the correct areas, the theme is activated but the settings haven’t transferred. Any ideas?

    The WordPress export doesn’t “send” the settings of the site – only the pages, posts, comments and basic author information.

    If you had custom settings – those were stored in the database and did not transfer – you will have to reset those.

    Also – your images:
    It appears you did transfer the images from the /wp-content/uploads folder either – you need to go back and get those so your added images will show up.

    OK – check that out and then let us know how it goes.

    Thanks Tom,

    Although I’d still like to figure this problem out, there’s no longer the urgency as I’m just updating each setting manually. Bit of a pain but gets its done!
    Oddly, I’ve noticed all the image links are to the same file names but with a ‘1’ added before the suffix (.png or .jpg etc) and even changing the link doesn’t make the image appear. I have to delete the image and re-insert from the media library.
