Hello!

You need to transform your current HTML site to a WordPress theme. Otherwise you won’t be able to use it with WordPress. In order to do that you need to change/create some code and create other files.

This article may help you: https://websitesetup.org/html-to-wordpress/

If you are familiar with WordPress coding you could do it yourself, but if you are not I suggest you to look for someone who knows how to do it.

Hi gulliwog!

I’ve done this manually in different sites by copying all the files using the File Manager and also copying the Database using phpMyAdmin, basically you would need to:

1. Create the new site.
2. Make a backup of the original site.
3. Go to your File Manager (make sure the option Show Hidden Files is selected) and copy the files to the new domain folder.
4. Create a new database for the new site.
5. Export/import the database.
6. Make some changes in the wp-config.php, the phpMyAdmin site URL file and in your image URLs

There are some good step by step guides here and here

I haven’t used cloning plugins for this, but if you prefer to use a plugin I’ve found this article that you may find helpful

Hi andreeateodor,

1. Check if there is a plugin that could be affecting. Have you installed any plugins before the problem? Deactivate plugins and check if the problem remains after a plugin is deactivated.
2. Try changing the theme.

I suggest you to upload the video on CloudUp, or maybe a page on your WordPress site, and share the link so we can all watch it.

Hi!

If I understood your problem correctly, you need to go to the text editor and press Shift+Alt+z. It should show again.

Let me know.

Hi!

Did you install any plugins recently? Sometimes these kind of problems are caused by a conflict with a third-party plugin.

Also check if you still have your images in your wp-content folder. If you do, check if the permalinks for every image are ok.

Best regards!
