I have manually loaded all the files to my server via ftp and although the theme works, itz appears I have lost all the custom posts, pages, views and media?

Can I retrieve these?

Thanks for the advice.

As for servers, I am limited because of the domain names and country laws. I have to host .fr in France for example and the same with .co.uk etc otherwise I would ahve hosted in the US and wouldn’t have this awful problem.

What I have had to do is unzip the Duplicated WordPress site and manually load it to the server via ftp, next step I just hope all the posts/ media etc will function?

I have uploaded by ftp to my host server and get this system requirements failure message:

Root Directory Fail
Path: /sites/lotpropertymanagement.co.uk/www
[Fail] Is Writable
[Pass] Contains only one zip file.
Result = 5123554d6cfd08209_19022013lotpropertymanagementuk_package.zip
Manual extraction still requires zip file

What next?

I have written several times to my host and am getting run around in circles.

What can I get them to do inorder to finish the install?

I have also set this up with another host and system requirements fail on Safe Mode Off. I checked with the php settings and Safe Mode was set on On. I switched it to off and am awaiting the hosts to do the next step. Was that correct?

Thanks in advance

I have bought the Pro version and Dennis helped me getting the gallery to work to start with as it didn’t function properly and now it has stopped functioning again.

I did make a change on page.php so that the post title wouldn’t display. Would this make a difference?

Have emailed Dennis but no response yet?

A question about file permissions. If I move the database and then change the file permissions when extracted, will all the posts, pages and view, view templates work?

I will start up a ticket and get the info to you.

Can I move all the files manually without using a plugin such as Duplicator?

I have a feeling that duplicator didn’t duplicate the posts, pages and views?

How about I send you the package zip and the installer.php and you try this yourself.

If I am installing a duplicate wordpress site and the installer doesn’t work I don’t see how changing rights in the already duplicated files that had rights when they were duplicated? Are there files outside of this that have to be changed in order to allow the install?

Confused?

Iam;o)

I will be also be trying Duplicator with another host as I have 5 domains that need to be set up and see if it works there. With this host the theme worked but none of the posts , pages or views transferred over?

Hi there,

My hosting provider gave me this information but I am none the wiser:

“It seems that you have yet to set the rights of your files and folder on your FTP. You can do this with CHMOD. You can find more instructions on how to do this here:”

Should they do this for me?

My first question is this screen withhe systems requirement button was the prompt when I typed installer.php in my browser. I never had the settings where I could set up the route to the new database.

Okay, so how do I fix the first [Fail]Is writable?
The second [Fail] Contains only one zip file.

I copuld not then unzip the file using my ftp. I opened it and then transferred the files over but there was no duplicate of the custopm posts or views?

I have looked on each tutorial and the simplicity of duplicating and installing didn’t work. I have about 30 or more posts with custom fields and views and I need this all to be duplicated to be transferred over to another domain.

Did I do something wrong?

Kind regards.

I never got the settings screen just this:

https://www.lotpropertymanagement.co.uk/installer.php

The bulk of the site installed but none of the posts, pages or views?

I have uploaded package.zip and installer.php and when installed I loaded installer.php into browser and get a systems failed message and not the settings panel?

Did I do something wrong?
