Like usual I transferred a wordpress site from dev to public environment (both on the same online server).
Everything was fine except the revolution slider on the homepage. This one is turned black. Text although is correctly displayed.
Like usual I updated all the url's and scanned the database to be sure all was done.
However something strange happend to the slider. When I use the chrome dev tools is can see a link to the image: http://domain.com/uploads/.... that is correct. But when I open this link in a new tab i get: http://domain.com/**http:/**domain.com/uploads/....
I did a search on the database but no text whit http:/domain.com (notice the missing slash!).
However on the path displayed via dev tools the image is found.
Already tried to export the slider on dev version and import to live but nothing changed.
Also in the revolution slider table the path is set correct.
Any idea on how the path is created? Or how I Can solve this?
The one slider on this site isn't really an issue but I got one ready to launch tomorrow with 30+ sliders and I don't want to recreate them all.
Thanks in advance!
Rather strang but here is the solution:
change the permalink structure to something else
turn back to what it must be
Never seen something like this before but it helped me to solve the issue.
Transfered 2 similar sites from the same dev server to the same live server with the same theme, wordpress version and slider and had no issues.

For some reason I cant find a place to edit the header logo. The logo will appear in chrome browser. In most browsers, it will just be a blank square and say logo.
This all happened after a migration to a different server/database.
There is some info about plugins needing an authentication key. However, Im unsure if this is the problem as it requires purchase. Any ideas? Thank you!
It's a bit unclear on why this would happen as there are a number of reasons.
Here are a few main things to check:
Did the wp-content/uploads/ folder get copied across fully?
If point-1 is correct, can you access the logo file via URL?
Are you using a theme builder to add in the logo? If so, you might need to export and import a theme builder file.
No need to purchase anything. Since you mentioned that this happened after migration. This could be a source issue, the url of the image could be broken or still leading to the old website url. You can check this by going to the DevTools on chrome by tapping F12. Then, click colsole to check if there's an error and let us know about it.
I am having default theme (twenty sixteen) running over wp version 4.5.2. I've no plugins in active state (all deactivated). Having many pages created with long contents (about 500+ pages).
One of the page is having 18,997 words (http://surgemedia.staging.wpengine.com/6-mo-after-gastric-sleeve-warnings-successes). Please do not mind about the formatting since it is copied from live site to this staging site. When I try to edit content in this page in text mode, it is very very slow. I am not able to figure out what's the reason since the content does not have any images or external content.
Please help!
Thank you, Naresh
One thing that will drastically slow down the WP Editor on my computer is to have the Chrome inspector open at the same time. The inspector can be open on ANY Chrome window or tab and it will affect the WP editor in any of the others. Hopefully the word will get out and either the WP or Google team will fix it.
It might be a little late, but have you tried:
Checking your website speed (for example with: https://tools.pingdom.com/)
Checking your own network speed
Disabling browser add-ons / extentions
Disabling the browsers spelling checker in the text editor
Using multiple browsers to see if the problem persists
(In case all of the above doesn't work and you haven't encountered a problem like this before):
Prepare a clean installation of WordPress with a standard theme and copy paste your text into it, in case the current installation is corrupted. Try this on localhost before setting it live, in case the hosting-provider is the cause of the problem.
After I moved a Wordpress website to production server I noticed youtube embeds were no longer clickable. The image and play button show up but nothing more.
Tried to renew the embed code, using the build in embed function, embed via media browser,... Nothing is working and it's making me crazy.
After some trial and error things I noticed that the video does work when the main bootstrap.css file is removed. Can't seem to find a clue to the solution though.
EDIT
Yes, I tried to disable all the plugins, with no result.
Changing back to the default twenty fifteen theme results in a working video embed. But since that one isn't build on bootstrap it's just a logic fact.
Anyone seen this before?
Web page with video embedded: click here
The website is sending lots of error messages in he consolu use F12 in Chrome, apparently your www-embed-player-new.js is causing the problem. Not even Edge is running the site correctly. I think you need a Chrome extension to make it work.
I would recommend you changing the plugin that imports the videos. Check this enter link description here
EDIT:
The chrome plugin Google Cast stops the error messages but still doesn't work.
The problem was with the wordpress loop on the single.php page.
A wrong code snippet caused the issue.
Fixed!
I am using Cyclone Slider 2 on the following page: http://alexistmyers.com/test/ I have 2 slides in this slider, but it's only showing one, basically it's not cycling as it should. I have the settings set to automatically cycle through and in the admin section of the plugin it shows as cycling through, accept it won't do so on the actual page.
The weird part about this is, I used this exact same slider in another website I just created and it works perfectly. You can see it in action here: http://www.24hrbookkeeper.com/
I went to the forum for this plugin and they mentioned to go to Tools -> Web Developer -> Error Console in Firefox (I'm using Firefox to make these changes). I did that, but I did not see "Error Console", instead I see "Web Console" so I clicked on that, and this is what I see...
[20:54:27.874] "[cycle] terminating; zero elements found by selector"
This must mean something's wrong. Any ideas what this means and how to get this slider to work correctly on the first site I mentioned above? Any help you can give will be greatly appreciated!
Sounds like a conflict with another plugin but here are three things you can try:
Deactivate all plugins and reactivate them one by one.
Check that the plugin was properly installed and activated.
Check the link to the image in your media library and test with another image.
I've uploaded my images using the WordPress Media Library. Permissions are set on the Uploads directory. Images are showing up in the proper uploads directory and re-sized correctly. Database is updated correctly and has proper path to images.
When in the media library, I see the thumbnails to the images, but when I click on a thumbnail to view the image, it doesn't display the image at all. Nothing shows up.
I've also tried using these images in an image slider and when i browse the media library, it finds them. I select the image to use in my slider and the thumbnail of the selected image gets displayed fine, but when I view my slider from the web page the image doesn't get displayed there either. Just an empty slider.
I have no plugins activated at all.
I'm using the Bizniz theme purchased off Themeforest.
I've updated WordPress to 3.3.2
Running off my local machine using Apache.
When i copy the image path from the database and paste it into the browser, the image gets displayed fine.
Everything is working except for the images. Any help is really appreciated!
UPDATE:
Ok, i tried switching my theme back to Twenty Eleven and then clicked my media library thumbnails and the images are displaying correctly. So it looks like it has something to do with the Bizniz theme i'm using. Is it possibly a jquery conflict or something? Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks again!

Ok, i've found a "temporary" solution to the problem. It seems the issue is with the version of TimThumb (which was v2.8.10 installed with the Bizniz theme).
I ended up using an older version (1.14) in place of this new version and it seems to have resolved the issue.
Although this has resolved the issue, i'm saying "temporary" as i'm not sure what features i might be missing between the two versions and am hoping the new version gets updated to correct this issue.
