So I downloaded wordpress. I edited the home page via the pages section and clicked update. Doing a git status does not show any changes. Where is the edited section stored? I am not using the internet and I have git initialized in the wordpress folder root.
As you see, git status does not show any changes because it displays paths that have differences between the index file and the current commit. i.e it shows only the files where code is changed.
In wordpress, page data/content saves in database rather than a file.
Wordpress working with database. Your changes from wp-admin do not update any file.
So, your files have not changed and git is not interested in this.

Overview
I can't update my WordPress from the admin panel=>Update (the admin panel is locked in the middle).
WordPress itself is trying to update to "WordPress 5.9".
What I tried
Stop all plugins and update WordPress.
Set the permissions of "upgrade" and "plugins" directories under the WordPress directory and wp-content to 777 or 704, and stop all plugins.
To enable debug.log, I added the following to wp-config.php and tried to update, but no debug.log appears under wp-content.
Added statement=>define('WP_DEBUG_LOG', true);
Update with browser cache cleared
Checked PHP execution time in wp-config.php=>set_time_limit(600) and it was specified as 10 minutes, so it seems to be fine.
What I want to ask you
Even if I do all of the above things in parallel, I can't update WordPress (the process stops in the middle).
Can you tell me if there is any other reason why WordPress can't be updated? Thank you for your time.
I would just do a manual update at that point.
Download the current/or version you need and once you’ve downloaded it, extract the zip file to your computer. Then, open the folder that contains all of the WordPress files and delete the following items:
The wp-config-sample.php file.
The wp-config.php file (you might not see this file – just make sure to delete it if it’s there). The wp-content folder.
Once you’ve deleted those items, upload the remaining files/folders to your server via FTP. When prompted about duplicate files by your FTP client, tell it to overwrite all files:
I'm trying to install a woocommerce plugin on my wordpress website(locally) it is giving such error 'update failed' as you can see in picture,
how to fix this?
Go to wp-content/upgrade directory and change folder permission to 777 (chmod) or in windows make sure that the read only box is uncheck.
That only means you allow that directory to read write and execute without any restrictions.
You can also solve this error by increasing the execution time.
Just go to your Xampp Control Panel, Stop Apache server, click on config (Apache), then select PHP(php.ini) option, Press Ctrl+F type "execution" and hit enter, then just increase the size of execution time from 30 to 300, save the file and then start Apache again.
It Works for Me!
see sometimes there is compatibility problem of site effects. If you can not fix, you can install another similar plugin
or
install a plugin that stop the updates of plugins ot theme according to what you want, to stop only the update of this specific plugin, like
https://wordpress.org/plugins/block-specific-plugin-updates/
after when you fixed or come new version you restart the update procedure
An alternative that works for the installation of plugin is to upload the plugin via cPanel's File Manager or the FTP client (e.g FileZilla).
Download the WooCommerce Plugin from https://wordpress.org/plugins/woocommerce/. This will download a zipped file which can be uploaded onto the server.
After download, navigate your way to the wp-content/plugins folder on the cPanel. Upload the downloaded file, and extract the file to folder.
NOTE: remember to remove the version number from the name of the plugin after downloading e.g change woocommerce.4.0.1.zip to woocommerce.zip
It sounds like the files might have been corrupted during the update.
You’d need to access your site FILES, so that you can delete the WooCommerce plugin folder.
Locate the plugins folder, and remove the woocommerce folder from there. Once deleted, you should be able to go back to your site’s Dashboard and install the plugin again.
If you install any plugins/themes, this could be the reason for continuously fails. Add the below line of code in wp-config.php
define('FS_METHOD','direct');
Download .zip From wordpress org/plugins/woocommerce/
Me and my friend started developing a web site using a WordPress theme. I uploaded the source code on git hub and started doing changes on the website using the admin dashboard. But whenever git status command is entered in the bash, It says working directory is clean and no changes. Any idea why this is happening?
git tracks changes of the source code (or, generally, any files) which lie in the folder where the repository is located. But when you change something in WordPress or other CMS, these changes are typically recorded into database, not filesystem. Only files uploaded by users typically go to the file system, but not configuration settings (like titles and posts).
I am working on a local version of a Wordpress website as a local Github repository. For some reason, git isn't detecting any changes that I make using the Wordpress interface itself, such as creating a new page or adding content to a page, again all from the dashboard. Git does recognize I make to files in the repository in a text editor, though.
Git is not going to track new posts because those are stored in the WordPress database.
I have a Wordpress site that was installed in a /wordpress/ folder, so when you try to access the website it will look like www.example-domain.com/wordpress/
The problem is recently I decided to move it to the root directory so that the site can be accessed by just going to the www.example-domain.com
So what I did first is download SQL dump, then delete the old installation of WordPress, installed a fresh one and overwrite the Database using SQL dump.
Everything went well, but when I tried to view the site this came up.
And I also noticed that whenever I tried to access to the dashboard through www.example-domain.com/wp-login.php
It will say that it is missing
The requested URL /wordpress/wp-login.php was not found on this
server.
So I am under the impression that it still points to the old installation.
How can I fix this?
You need to login to the database and manually edit 2 entries. In the wp_options table you can find siteurl and home. Update those appropriately, you should then be able to login properly.
You also need to update your .htaccess file but if you edit your permalink options and then change them back this should rewrite it for you.
For future reference to simply change directory of your installation if you login to the WP admin and go to Admin -> Settings -> General you can change the Wordpress Address and Site Address (the options you changed manually in the database) there. Once changed simply copy the entire installation folder to the new location and that will be it. It's easier to make the changes before you move it than after.
Update the table wp_options for siteurl and home with respective values.
Also change .htaccess file
You need to set a couple of paths in the database to the new directory.
try to search for records that include "/wordpress" and remove it.
This solved a similar problem for me.
