• Hello guys,

    I have just moved my site to new server and new domain name.
    I have uploaded all content from my public_html folder to new one, updated new database name, user name, salt key code.
    I did change new site URL.

    But when I go to my new website on FireFox, it only shows plain, brand new wordpress site, with default twentyten theme. Nothing from all that website is actually seen. It just look like I would only download fresh wp.

    If I go to my new site on Safari, it only shows the first page of the website which was on this server before. ( I did delete all those old files )

    Any idea what I do wrong?
    Thanks for any advice.

    Before moving my site to new server

    and new one:
    https://icebergfilms.com

  • Don’t know what you did but just move your theme to the new /wp-content/themes.

    Did you export database from old server change the urls using Notepad++ find and replace and import it in the database you created in new server.

    Looks like you have database tables that are installed as if it is fresh install.

    Hello kmessinger,

    that problem is, it’s there.
    When I check all the files in my public_html, theme (inFocus) is there.

    Great. So when you go to dashboard, appearance, themes you don’t see it?

    Hello govpatel,

    I did try to follow your tutorial ( which is awesome btw ), but I could not do that process, because the is no “BACKUP” option on my old cPanel.

    So what I did was this:

    -downloaded all files from public_html onto my hard drive
    -changed database name, user name and salt code in wp_config.php document
    -copied tables from old database and copied them into new one, then changed site URL using wp_options in cPanel
    -uploaded all files onto new server’s public_html folder

    I checked https://icebergfilms.com and i assume that is the one that you have setup and as i do not see the content like the original website then your database is not same as your original website as if it was then we should see your data on twenty ten theme.

    Nope..
    When I go to dashboard I don’t see it, and it does not show when I log onto new site either.

    I reread this. It is more than just your theme not showing – your content is not showing either. Read what govpatel said.

    Yes, I know, there is something what I did wrong or what I did not do correctly, but I don’t know hat it is.

    I can see your infocus theme is there. Check to make sure you got all the files transferred for that theme.

    so it looks like my content is in public_html, but it is not in database?

    You need to export the database from phpmyadmin and change urls like I did in video and import it on new server.

    I have another video on my website not using the back up method using myphpadmin method will show you how to export and import.

    I was just looking at images and files. No content.

    I will check your video and try to follow it. I will let you know as soon as I am done.

    Thank you guys sooo much for your support…and for your patience.
