Hi all,
Thanks for all the help!
I kept going around and around in circles and retryed. Basically I think it was more of a RTFM thing really. Turned out the site url in the WP-options table was causing me issues, after altering the table it all seems to work. Although I was using the old school method of FTP and a database backup….good to learn these things though.
I think the wordmove program was causing me some issues…guess I need to take things one step at a time…is this the prefered method of moving worpdress instances from dev to staging and production? I read this article.
Thanks again,
Mark.
