I have been recently tasked to migrate a Wordpress page to another hosting services. Task, which should be quite easy, took me last 2 days and I still can't figure out what is wrong. After migrating (tried it with Duplicator plugin, manual copying and changing links in database) pages won't load. I managed to get into backend and after changing theme to any default Wordpress theme (twentysixteen, twentyseveteen etc.) site works fine but when I try use designated theme (Proxima, https://themeforest.net/item/proxima-responsive-business-multipurpose-theme/8094780) it just won't load. Page is trying to load but in the end it shows 503 error. Same thing if I want to see the preview of theme in backend, loading animation appears and nothing happened. I tried a lot of things to fix it: changing file permissions, disabling plugins, updating Wordpress, downgrading Wordpress, changing php version, changing MySQL version and nothing works. My theme support has expired and before I renew it I just wanted to ask if anyone had that problem before. Maybe there is super easy fix and I just don't see it.
Thanks in advance for any help
Problem solved with hosting support. Bad media path was the problem.

Morning everyone, i'm having a super weird issue with my recent wordpress migration. I moved the (working) site to another webspace and i'm slowly running out of ideas (jk, already ran out).
Issue: After the migration, the plugin Visual Composer is outputting nonsense image links to the frontend that look like this: https://i.imgur.com/7RocCmE.png instead of the uploaded images url. Result: No images are showing on the frontend.
This issue only happens when i use the single image block provided by VC itself. Inputting an image the wordpress way, inside of a text block, works.
What could be the reason for this? i'm super thankful for any advice since i'm not a programmer.
I have already tried:
Enabling wp debug, not getting any errors
Installing different versions of Visual Composer, multiple times
Reinstalling Wordpress, multiple times
disabling all plugins
completely reinstalling and reuploading everything from scratch
different php versions
As I saw in your screenshot with the src attribute of your image and it has data-src attribute also, I think that it's because the new site (or maybe the new hosting) is using lazy load which will update all images source of the site to the lazy load image for better performance.
Lazy load images mean that the image won't load at the beginning, when you start to scroll down to each section, the images of this section will be loaded. In this way, the site will be optimized and won't load many resources at the beginning.
I think you can:
Check if there is any cache plugin installed, try to deactivate this plugin.
Check with the hosting provider if there is any cache setting installed, try to deactivate this setting also.
See if the image is working in the backend or not, if it's still loaded in the backend, I'm pretty sure that it's the cache issue. If it doesn't load in the backend, I think there is something wrong with your theme source code.
Compare the hosting environment, especially the PHP version of the old and new site to see if there is any differences.
I just installed the flatsome theme on WordPress on my namecheap server and I'm having a problem whereby the changes I make with the UX builder don't save. Every time I make changes and I click update then close the UX builder, the changes don't effect whereas when I make changes from WordPress "customize" it works.
I've tried several things, tried deleting and re-installing the theme, tried deleting and reinstalling WordPress itself, and still the same thing. Please I need help
I can relate with you on this flatsome issues of not saving because I also experienced the same issue....
I later solved it myself. View what you to see in the screenshot I sent here and make changes via your cpanel php extensions.
You should definitely contact flatsome uxthemes support for that.
They provide support for their theme.
I’m using the latest version of Wordpress (4.7.4).
I have something very weird going on in my Dashboard. Not sure when this started.
Can’t say for sure it started with the latest version of Wordpress or not.
My Dashboard became completely useless.
It’s like it’s showing me a flashback of a Dashboard from a few days or hours ago:
Comments I’ve deleted in the Dashboard (hitting “trash”) are suddenly back there, awaiting my moderation.
Plugins I’ve deactivated or even deleted are all back there and according to Dashboard still running (while in my FTP folder they’re certainly gone).
The plugin page cannot be trusted anymore as it shows some plugins are activated that aren’t and vice versa. I have to check on my actual website to confirm which ones are running.
Updates aren’t shown correctly. Once I’ve updated a plugin, a few minutes later it shows me again that there’s a new update.
As you can tell it’s all pretty much the same phenomenon.
It’s as if I’m seeing an older version of my Dashboard.
Not sure what else is broken.
The only other thing I noticed is that even on my actual blog I still see a comment. Blog post says “1 comment”, but the actual comment doesn’t show up.
At first, this all sounds like a “cache problem”.
But I’ve already turned off all caching:
No caching plugin installed
Turned off server caching via htaccess
Disabled leverage browser caching
Emptied my own browser cache
Other things I tested:
Turn off all plugins.
Switch to the standard Wordpress theme “Twenty Twelve”
I tried WP_DEBUG, but nothing related shows up.
I researched the internet, but nobody has described a similar problem, so I suppose this is not a common Wordpress issue.
The issue remains.
Unfortunately I’m not a developer and don’t know too much about the Wordpress codex etc.
But to me it sounds that the mistake is definitely not in the plugin or theme folder.
The problem is that I’ve reached the point where I really cannot turn off plugins via Dashboard properly anymore. It’s so annyoing!
My questions are:
Is it safe to assume that this is related to the Wordpress core
files?
What files exactly are in “charge of” the Dashboard?
Should I just try to re-download the newest Wordpress version and replace a few files (if so which ones)?
Should I do a clean Wordpress re-install or would that be too drastic?
Any other suggestions?
EDIT:
Additionally I tried now:
I manually downloaded the newest version of Wordpress and did just as
described on the Wordpress.org website. I manually replaced wp-admin,
wp-include folders and all root files. The issue remains...
The way my Dashboard is right now, I really can’t use it.
Please advice!
I contacted my host service again.
They just gave me the same line to insert into my .htaccess file and I told them I already tried it and it didn't work.
I then showed them my .htaccess file and they deleted the whole part that concerned their server caching.
Now server caching is completely off and everything works again.
Still not sure why this previously never caused issues.
In the end, it had nothing to do with Wordpress.
I hope this answer will help people who run into similar problems.
I'm trying to help move a website, and I copied a clean version of the twentyfourteen themes from spot A into spot B, but it did not take effect.
Our site (as mentioned earlier) had been injected, so we're relocating our site with a fresh install. On the original WordPress site export did not work properly for the pages, so I do not think it would work for a theme.
Does anyone had any tricks they'd like to share?
Thank you!
The original theme seems to be stuck as the active theme in your database. Do you have any plugins running yet? ...More specifically a plugin that can cache your site?
If there aren't any plugins running, it's probably stuck in your server's cache and needs a bit of time to roll over.
Recently a clients site got hacked on Rackspace and since then I have been trying to recover certain items on the site.
I have cleaned everything up and did a framework upgrade.
Now when I am trying to install something new, make changes, or simply post an update it renders a white page after success...
I have disabled all my plugins and still the same issue.
Have any of you experienced this before and what are some of the steps you could give to recover this...
Thanks in advanced.
Ok, so I have managed to find some good tips that has helped.
Ultimately disabled all plugins, reinstalled wordpress, there were some issues in the following files.
wp-config.php, pluggable.php and class.wp-scripts.php - all these missed a closing ?>
And make sure that your themes functions.php file doesn't have any whitespace.
