After I backup up my initial site I renamed it to my clients database name (XXXXX_client format) and then I used the online search and replace tool to get it working btw.

yes!

Finally figured it out!

So initially when I backed up my old site for whatever reason I couldn’t import it into my new database. Did the good old troubleshooting step of starting over and BOOM — got it imported.

However somehow (and I still am unsure why) I misspelled my site (…) so whenever I clicked to another link, it gave me an error.

I ended up searching for my misspelling in phpMyAdmin and found it in wp_options and now it’s live.

Woohoo! (I screamed out loud when I got it fixed)
Good luck to any other beginners! I consider myself pretty experienced with HTML/css and troubleshooting (I’m a mobile technician) but could not figure this out for the life of me!

This is the error I get when I try to upload the backup of the site that I created on my domain.

“#1044 – Access denied for user ‘920081_ellisw’ to database ‘883535_elliswealth’ ”

The duplicator plugin, will this work though if I am midway through the process.

The problem is now if you go to my client site
elliswealthmanagement.net

it look like the theme got imported but none of my images or media did. It took FOREVER for me to transfer the 9000 something files and I believe the process got interrupted when I was using my FTP.

I don’t know if I should delete all the files from my client site and start over.

Also, not sure what to do once I zip the .sql file. Do I go into phpMyAdmin on my clients database? This is where I get lost with the backups.
