Offline WP site to an online URL problem

please help some one.

Very simple thing to tell. Unfortunately this happens all the time, and gets a lot of people worried.

If you look at the URL’s that your site is trying to load, you’ll see that they are all like:
https://127.0.0.1/wordpress/wp-content/themes/twentyeleven/style.css
This means that your site is trying to load the same files as your development site that you did locally and it doesn’t work. That’s thanks to WordPress’s ideal of having all of the URL’s hard-coded (there’s decisions behind that so no point getting into it here).

What you need to do is change every instance of ‘https://127.0.0.1’ that’s recorded in your database to ‘https://melbournemantids.com/wordpress’. Unfortuantely, that’s a lot harder ten it sounds because a lot of them are stored in serialised arrays so you can’t just change the text nad have it work.

Fortunately, there is help. The best tool that I’ve found to help this is this script. If you follow the instructions for that, you’ll be able to get the site fixed up again. I use this tool on every site that I’ve deployed, and it’s pretty good.

awesome thank you I will try this out within the next 2 hours (gotta goto the shops) and I will post the results.

Thanks again

I ran the script and got 650 changes, got the export from myphpadmin and uploaded to my site again, but still no luck all the URL’s are sill broken. Any steps I missed by any chance?

i did it with the offline database details as I cannot access anything but the homepage for my site online. Eg the https://melbournemantids.com/wordpress/fakename.php did not open and I got the url of – https://redirect.main-hosting.com/error404.php/4 instead…? Any ideas on this, should it matter if I did it with online or offline database details? I changed the details in wp-config to online ones afterwards.
