Hi Adam

This is not resolved.

I can’t share the callback URL because you guys have fixed those sites at your end. Site Kit now works with the last set I sent you. Thank you for fixing those.

I have 4/5 more sites to move that will have the same issue. I will update this ticket with my process and the callback URL next time.

Please don’t close it or mark it resolved.

Mike

Hi Adam

I will be trying this again at some point.

I have already sent video of all my steps. Did you guys get it? What was missing? I am not sure what more I can show you and how I can mores imply describe what is happening.

Is there any update on resetting the URL at your end for the last set of sites?

upstatemetalsales.com
movementsciencemadesimple.com
laboskdesign.com
karsh.org
linccornell.com

I’ve tried to give you everything you need. Along the way I have asked where and when the URL Site Kit uses would be reset (based on the admin URL) and I haven’t been given an answer. You guys have requested I do things which break wp-admin and make no sense. I have done them, documented it and sent video.

Mike

Hi Adam

No. I have not tried amending the WordPress admin site URL before migration. Amending the WordPress admin site URL breaks the site unless I move the wordpress installation in the webroot.

So I either have to amend the wordpress installation and then change the WordPress admin site URL, in which case, why is that any different to the migration? I am on the same host, but am amending the wordpress file locations and amending WordPress admin site URL. Isn’t that the same in effect as I am doing during a migration. Or, I amend WordPress admin site URL without changing the wordpress file location, the site breaks (front end and back) and I can’t migrate via plugin, I have to migrate manually. That might work, but is double the work, might not work, and the site is down during the migration. It doesn’t make sense and I still have not heard from you when Site Kit might detect the change (surely only if the admin is working), and my gut is it still will not work. You have not given any indication of when Site Kit updates: the hook, the action it happens on? I can’t see it happening if the site is broken, and I don’t understand why amending the WordPress admin site URL and wordpress file locations before migration is any different to a migration.

No problem.

I just moved a site and attempted to amend the WordPress admin site URL. I ended up with the same issue on the migrated site, the redirect after Google authorizations still contains /wordpress/ and the login fails.

This was my sequence:

migrate site to new host (incl google site kit plugin, plugin not reset)
have everything ready at new host for DNS change
amend WordPress admin site URL on old host with DNS pointing at it
site on old host breaks as expected after amending WordPress admin site URL
amend DNS to point domain at new host
when DNS resolved and pointing at new host try to reconnect Site Kit – it fails with /wordpress/ in the redirect URL
reset Site Kit on the new host and try to reconnect – it fails with /wordpress/ in the redirect URL

The current list of sites that need a reset if possible at your end are:

upstatemetalsales.com
movementsciencemadesimple.com
laboskdesign.com
karsh.org
linccornell.com

Thank you and I appreciate any guidance.

Hi Adam

I am trying to think this through. If I change the WordPress admin site URL without changing the location of the files in the webroot, I imagine WordPress will stop working. When does Site Kit pickup the change: on change of the WordPress admin site URL, or at some other moment?

If I change the location of the WordPress files, am I not back in the same position (at the same host, rather than a new one) where wp-admin is at a new location and Site Kit won’t reset?

I am also trying to figure out sequencing of the migration, if I change the WordPress admin site URL before migration, and don’t move the files in the webroot, I imagine the migration will fail. So I migrate the site, then change WordPress admin site URL? Then update the DNS and Site Kit should reset at the new domain?

Any guidance appreciated.

Thank you.

Mike

Hi Adam

You mean in General Settings? The location of WordPress?

Can you explain more? Where would Site Kit pick up the change from so that when its running at the new path it knows where it is? Why would an amended site on the same hosting and same domain not experience the same things as an amended site on new hosting with the same domain?

I appreciate the suggestion.

Mike

Hi Adam

These sites are currently have the issue:

upstatemetalsales.com
movementsciencemadesimple.com
laboskdesign.com
karsh.org

Thank you!

Regards
Mike

These are the domains I have an issue with trying to reconnect at the new host:

upstatemetalsales.com
movementsciencemadesimple.com
laboskdesign.com
karsh.org

I also have more to move!

Thank you.

Mike

Hi Adam

Thank you.

The main domain remains the same (one did go from from https://www to https://) but otherwise, the only change is the location of the wordpress install, and therefore the location of wp-admin. It was https://domain.com/wordpress/wp-admin and is now https://domain.com/wp-admin. I am migrating to wordpress.com hosting. So much of WordPress core is a symlinked folder I believe. The symlink for eveything but the wp-content folder is _wp_. The wp-content folder is in the webroot.

I am performing the Site Kit reset prior to the migration then run into the issue when trying to set it back up on the new host.

Hi Adam

I completed the form with the site information and also added a wetransfer link to download screengrab video of my resetting, deleting, then reinstalling the plugin after migration.

Thank you!

Hi Adam

I thought I had responded to this ticket via email. I think I am losing my marbles!

I tried to move a site yesterday (laboskdesign.com) and followed these steps:

It’s wp-admin address changed from:

https://laboskdesign.com/wordpress/wp-admin

To:

https://laboskdesign.com/wp-admin.

Before migration (done using Migrate Guru) I reset Site Kit in Tools / Available Tools. I then deleted the plugin in wp-admin and then checked it was deleted from the folder wp-content/plugins.

After the migration was complete, and the domain pointed at the new hosting, I reinstalled Site Kit in wp-admin on the new host at the domain laboskdesign.com <https://laboskdesign.com/> and went through the authorizations. I land back at the wordpress login but with wordpress in the redirect URL, the login fails.

I have screen captures of all this. Can I send you these without them being posted here? I would rather not put some of what can be seen in public.

I also just moved karsh.org and it has a similar issue. I went through the same steps as above, but reset Site Kit in Site Kit settings before deleting the plugin.

These sites need correcting:

upstatemetalsales.com
movementsciencemadesimple.com
laboskdesign.com
karsh.org

And I can send the video screen captures somehere if you let me know!

Thank you!

Regards
Mike

Hi Adam

Thank you. Those three sites all have Site Kit installed and it is working well.

Do you think the plugin will be developed so that I don’t need to contact you guys when migrating if my wp-admin address changes? Reset and delete did not solve the issue.

Thank you!

Regards
Mike

Hi Adam

I moved another site over whose wp-admin address has changed. I reset Site Kit then deleted the plugin in wp-admin and checked it was deleted via ftp. It was. On migration, I still get the issue where Google authorization redirects to the old wp-admin address.

I am having issues reconnecting with these sites:

rvpsychotherapy.nyc (I had the URL wrong earlier in this thread)
apbmodern.com
michaelputland.com
upstatemetalsales.com
movementsciencemadesimple.com

Any updates on resetting at your end greatly appreciated.

Regards
Mike
