Moving WordPress Website To New Hosting

    I’m trying to build a Linux box (Centos 6) and move a WordPress website from GoDaddy hosting to the local Linux box.

    As it is sitting next to me and the live website is still active I have set the host file to redirect to the local IP address.

    I now have the website moved and the front page works fine and I can log into the wp-admin section but I notice that the Jigoshop plugin doesn’t want to display pages under ‘product-category’ (page not found errors) and I suspect that I am missing a package to allow it to run correctly.

    Can someone please name the required packages needed to enable the Jigoshop plugin to work correctly? Do I need to give certain permissions to anyone other than the Apache user?

  • Hi

    There might be dozens of different explanations for this but I suggest you to see your server error logs, maybe you will find the cause of problem there, it could be related also to the theme issue as well.

    Thank you for your prompt reply Vasili. The only thing I can see that refers directly to Jigoshop is this error message in error_log under httpd:

    [Tues Oct 13 10:39:24 2015] [error] [client 192.168.0.225] File does not exist: /var/www/html/product-category, referer: https://www.mywebsite.co.nz/

    Accessing the FTP for the live, working website tells me that that folder doesn’t exist there either so I’m a little confused as to the mechanism that your plugin uses. I assume that the folder “product-category” is made using a Javascript of some sort?

    Hi
    Try to update permalinks from your admin panel, maybe it could help.
    Settings -> Permalinks

    I went to Settings -> Permalinks and it is set to ‘Post name’. On the live, working website it is also set to ‘Post name’.

    I selected ‘Default’, saved it, and it now works perfectly.

    I then selected ‘Post name’ and strangely it doesn’t work using the original ‘Post name’!

    Any ideas why this might be? Ideally I would prefer to use the original ‘Post name’ if it is possible so that I’m not potentially messing up something else?

    Yes, as I suspected there are bits in the front page of the website that are “hard coded” to use the ‘Post Name’ format and they are all broken.
