Settings has gone

A number of reasons could be the root cause. However, if you want to migrate a site then my recommendation would be to use the plugin All-in-One WP Migration which I use all the time to backup sites between localhost<>hosting<>localhost.

I’d suggest you try it as it takes away all the handling you’ve just described.

Many thanks rdell.

All-in-One WP Migration supports up to WP 4.3 and I have WP 4.4 … will play later with that.

Any other suggetion about my initial request? Any help will be great.

I did backup (structure and data without truncate stmt) and restore my database on the remote host.
I edited the URL links in my .sql file before executing against the database.
I did upload entire wp folder structure with subfolders and files.
I did edit wp_config.php

Customizr went back in demo mode and all settings and pages settings are gone.

Thank you so much for feedback.

Hi,
Can you give your site’s url? Can you tell more about what kind of designing you did for customization?

Plugin has been updated for WP 4.4

Thank you rdell for your contribution and feedback to my issue.

I did installed “All-in-One WP Migration V4.15” on both hosts: my localhost (where I’m developing) and on our web host environment. My web host environment had a fresh empty WordPress 4.4 copy installed and connected to an empty database.

I have followed all the steps from the plugin tutorials and created an export .wpress file and find/replace the URL when creating (Export) the file with the plugin.

When Import-ing the file from the host side, after the .wpress files has been successfully uploaded, the process jams at 56% when loading the archive content on the host server.

The only error that I have is by accessing the website URL from the browser:

Fatal error: require_once(): Failed opening required ‘/home/spartan2/public_html/wp-content/themes/customizr/inc/init.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php’) in /home/spartan2/public_html/wp-content/themes/customizr/functions.php on line 47

That’s all the error info that I have.

All I know that there is a difference in versions from my developing hosting environment and the web hosting one. Here is the difference:

Localhost environment: (development – wamp server 2.5)
-Apache Version 2.4.9
-PHP Version 5.5.12
-MySQL Version 5.6.17
-WordPress 4.4

Web hosting environment :
-Apache Version 2.4.16
-PHP Version 5.4.45
-MySQL Version 5.5.45-cll
-WordPress 4.4

Any idea why I cannot deploy this on my host?

Thank you so much for feedback.

First, I’d check with your hosting (do you have access to cPanel?)

PHP versions are inconsistent, so would try to update Hosting to PHP 5.5 if possible.

Thank you rdell for your contribution and feedback to my issue.

I don’t have access to the host yet. I have a control freak admin who is playing the gate owner instead of gate keeper. He’s a not very cooperative.

I’m working on now with important people to gain access to the host.
Once I’ll get access to my host I’ll be back to you with more info.

Thank you so much for helping and Merry Christmas to you and your family.
