WordPress sites migrated to a plesk server, lack content

Hi everyone,

We are attempting to migrate some wordpress sites residing in a shared server to a new exclusive server on Plesk. We have the right information during the process, but the sites lack content in the end…

Process:

Old shared server
-We have moved all original files from the shared servers using FTP
-The respective databases were exported without compressing to ensure integrity.

New plesk server
-The domains were installed
-New wordpress fresh installations were developed.
-Everything works prior migration

Migration
-The original files were transferred via FTP to the plesk respective directories without the old ‘wpconfig’. Files were verify to be successfully transferred.
-‘import dump’, The original database was uploaded to the new wp database without errors, tested to be fully integrated and working.

It all seemed fine in the end with no errors reported, sites seem to be working fine, until you check the wordpress installation to realize they have no content deployed, no images, no pages, no posts, no extra themes, even so all the content is on the right folders on plesk.

NO URL change.

Any idea what possibly could be happening? Our best bet is that there is something wrong with the Database migration…

We appreciate any support.

Regards

Do the parameters for the database in wp-config.php match the new host’s database, including the $table_prefix?

UPDATE:

We decided to delete everything and restart the whole process.

Any suggestions on how it should be the best way to migrate a working wordpress site to a plesk server? perhaps differently than what we have done.

Thank you

1. create an empty database on the server.
2. export your existing database.
3. import database to new server.
4. download all files from the old site.
5. edit wp-config.php to match db parameters for the new site. If the URL is changing, add defines for the new URL parameters.
6. upload all files to the new site.

If you’re not changing the URL, you should be done at this point. If the URL needs to change, install the plugin “better search replace”. Search for the old URL and replace with the new one.
