I am trying to move a site from Yahoo Small Business to a local hosting company. I am able to log in to the host with FileZilla.
I have also downloaded the files from YSB and have them locally. But the local hosting company gave me a test host and I cannot access cPanel to upload the files. Also, when I try to put the url.com/cpanel I get directed to the home page of the current site still listed with Yahoo. I have imported the files from my computer to the new host via Filezilla, but I'm not seeing anything and can't log in.
I am unable to change the DNS of Yahoo to the test host.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
I agree with #yohoprashant that you will need to do a few work arounds until you migrate your DNS. Most hostign companies will give you a temporary URL (IP address) and which should give you access to cPanel and testing your initiatl WordPress install. 111.111.111.111/cpanel
Wordpress has a great step by step that you should be able to follow once you get the basic WorkdPress install either through the download or cPanel install. Check it out here: https://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress

I've installed wordpress local on my computer with xampp, it's working but now I need to transfer my wordpress.com on my wordpress local. I want to add an extension but it's asking me my FTP credentials and I'm not finding them nor succeeding in creating some. I've tried the different things I found on your forum (chmod, define FS method) but it's not successfull, when i try to download an extension, it tells me that it can't be added to the file. How can I do it please ?
Thank you :) !
If it's asking you for FTP credentials to transfer it through the web, that won't be possible as your site is not reachable, it's only installed locally. This is doable by adding some extra software to make your site accessible, like ngrok.
Instead of that, why don't you use the site exporter?
https://wordpress.com/support/export/
Additionally, if you have a Business or eCommerce plan, you can use a plugin to export your site, like enter link description here
I have a site hosted on 1&1 Ionos hosting. Purchased an SSL for the site from 1&1 Ionos as well. So let's say https://www.business.com/ is what I have. Then I have another another site say http://www.mycompany.com/ hosted at the same place - still waiting for my business SSL to be approved hence the http.
So I exported the database from business.com using plugin WP Migrated DB - setting the new URL and actual filepath.
Then I imported the database into a new database for my staging environment to be hosted at http://www.mycompany.com/clients/business.
I copied ALL the wordpress files for the site http://www.business.com/ into http://www.mycompany.com/clients/business exactly except I changed wp_config.php file to reflect the new database details. i.e username, database, location and password.
So I expected http://www.mycompany.com/clients/business to be a complete replica of the original https://www.business.com/. But when I browse to http://www.mycompany.com/clients/business I get the following error:
This site can’t provide a secure connection mycompany.com sent an invalid response.
Try running Windows Network Diagnostics.
ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR
I can't even login to the admin panel of http://www.mycompany.com/clients/business/wp-admin
Is what I tried even possible and if it is please tell me what I did wrong and how to fix it. I'd like to create a staging environment to test new themes and plugins before implementing on live environment. Critical to my original site is the aMember plugin which manages all the membership registration info. I've deleted the Really Simple SSL plugin folder from WP-Content/Plugins folder but the error remains.
Thanks in advance for any and all help and advice!
Step 1:
Check your .htaccess for rules enforcing https
Step 2:
Did you replace all links in the database? If not, you must search and replace all links from https://www.business.com/ to http://www.mycompany.com/
You can use a tool from: https://interconnectit.com/products/search-and-replace-for-wordpress-databases/comment-page-4/
Or just use command line wpcli (wp search-replace https://www.business.com http://www.mycompany.com
Step 3:
Open the new 'http://www.mycompany.com/' in a incognito tab. Browser caching might still redirect you to https.
What I want to do > I need to run a version of my live website on my local machine.
Why I need to run it on local machine I need to edit the website on my local machine and when everything is perfect copy it onto server. So I can easily make changes to the website without scaring of breaking the live website.
Whats the problem > I could run it on my local machine but when I log in to wordpress from localhost it redirects me to the live server.
What steps did I followed > I followed this question, installed mamp and downloaded whole wordpress directory to htdocs directory of mamp, then exported the database on server and imported it to my local server. Ran the server, entered username and password and was redirects to the live server rather than running the website on my local machine.
The code is the same, you just have to edit the database configuration of localhost and change domain to localhost.
tl;dr:
run this to fix it: https://interconnectit.com/products/search-and-replace-for-wordpress-databases/
long answer:
Most importantly, the "Home URL" and "Site URL" on the Settings -> General need to be changed. Also, many other URLs are saved into the Database including the domain name. Since some of them might be php-serialized, just search/replace in the database might screw up some things.
The Wordpress Codex has lots of info on moving / clonign a site. Still, the easiest way is the tool from tl;dr above.

Your server configuration must be missing. Check if .htaccess file is there, and whether your hosting service provider supports use of them.
As a general rule of thumb, you can't hope to have perfect functionality from a "free" service provider.
I have a wordpress site hosted on WAMP on my local PC. I want other people on my network to view this website but when I tested it from another PC none of the stylesheets, scripts etc are being loaded. I troubleshooted it and found this is because it's looking for those files on localhost. How can I change it to look for those files relative to the folder? Thanks
What you have done is a bit like moving the site to another domain. Because WP records the domain name in its database when you install it, it thinks its domain is localhost.
Now you are getting to it by lets say using your ip address 192.168.0.10 this is considered a new domain name and when it attempts to server various resources it is still using the original domain name of localhost it cannot find those resources on the other PC's.
You can find out what you need to do here on the worpress site Changing the site url
I solved this by using my IP address as the site path in Wordpress/Settings/General
