I am trying to migrate a Wordpress website from one hosting to another one. In the new hosting I can see it correctly if I access it from localhost, but if I try to render the web from an exteral pc, the .css and the images are not loaded (you can see it here 91.121.122.50/wp
Note that the link to the images points correctly (if you copy-paste the url of any image and open in a new window, it will load)
The new host has been configurated for a user, so I think it is a etc/hosts, apache2 or php configuration issue.
You can either update the database
//FIXME: do comment/remove these hack lines. (once the database is updated)
update_option('siteurl', 'http://your.domain.name/the/path' );
update_option('home', 'http://your.domain.name/the/path' );

or place the folowing in you wp-config
define('WP_HOME','http://example.com');
define('WP_SITEURL','http://example.com');
http://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_The_Site_URL
In order to make all links working you've to update your htaccess in your admin area under settings -> permalinks.
There is a WordPress plugin called duplicator. Using this plugin we can transfer WordPress website from one host to another. I think this is the simple and easy way to transfer WordPress sit. Here is the link.

I have Wordpress install at
scottmollon.com/williammessner-loebs
The files are in public_html/williammessnerloebs
But we wanted to get him his own domain.
So I got bloebs.com, and set it up as an Add-On Domain with my host provider (A2 Hosting).
I configured bloebs.com to point to /public_html/williammessnerloebs
So if you go bloebs.com you correctly see the wordpress site.
But if you click on a post it takes you to scottmollon.com/williammessnerloebs/2019/10/10/appearances/
for example.
I'd like to have all the urls be bloebs.com urls.
I tried changing the site url and home url in my Wordpress general settings, but that just breaks everything. Pages load with no formatted or styled content or images. I've fixed it by editing those urls back to scottmollon.com urls in my database.
Is there anyway I can accomplish what I hope to do?
The first step you took was the right. But there is some more to do:
Change your site url and home url. You can do this in the backend in general settings, or you can edit your wp-config.php file and add (maybe you have https):
define( 'WP_HOME', 'https://bloebs.com' );
define( 'WP_SITEURL', 'http://bloebs.com' );
Log into your backend (you will be logged out at first) and go to your general settings to check if the new url is set. Also go to "permalinks", make your choice and hit save.
Install a Plugin to overwrite the urls in your database, like https://wordpress.org/plugins/go-live-update-urls/ In this plugin you just need to enter your old wordpress url and then your new url. You do not need to overwrite plugin files, so keep that unchecked.
After that, everything sould be working fine. You can delete the plugin again, because you don't need it anymore.
If you have any urls in your theme files, that you are not getting dynamically but have inserted them by hand, you have to edit this by hand. The Plugin "Go live..." will only overwrite the urls in your database.
Hope this helps you out.
I am new to WordPress. I have a WordPress woocommerce application, which I want to copy to local server.
But all the links still point to the same server. E.g. when I login it takes me to live website as the action target is sth like : www.example.com/wp-login.php.
How to change all links to point to local servers so that I can develop locally.
I have done the same with WP CLONE Plugin.
https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-clone-by-wp-academy/
Try this.
WordPress has absolute links inside its database, i.e. http://yoursite.org. To make site functional on another domain or localserver you have to change all links inside database. Any manual manipulation with database may corrupt it.
The robust way to move your site is usage of Duplicator plugin.
Easiest way is to use WP All in One plugin, you export whole wordpress and woocommerce, and only thing you need to change when you set it to localhost are permalinks
I am experiencing a problem with the wordpress migration.
I held my website on localhost beofre (xampp server in computer). It all worked fine so I decided to move it to a real domain. The website is http://www.cupavortex.ga .
I exported the database from phpMyAdmin in xampp, and imported it in the new database in the wordpress site. wp-config.php is already configured
The only thing working is the homepage and the buttons.
The images are not appearing.
And when I try to click on any link it redirects me to the old addresses (for example, when I try to click on “Desfasurare”, it redirects me to localhost/CupaVortex/desfasurare because that was the old link. I can’t acces wp-admin nor any administrative tools but phpMyAdmin and FileZilla.
Also, the site is hosted at 000webhost.com, and yes, I modified the mysql name to mysql4.000webhost.com from localhost, and replaced utf8mb4 with utf8 in order for everything to work. I just want to find out how to replace the links, I don’t really care about the images.. Theme used is Astrid.
Thanks in advance
Have you updated your database 'home' and 'site' url entries? This is done in wp_options, both need to be the new base url! After that, if thats the issue, you'll probably want to refresh your permalinks in the wp-admin settings section.
Go Back to your old local host website for a sec.
Steps:
Go to Settings->Permalinks and set it to numeric values.
Check if you have not used a custom link inside the website for any images or post or anything. If you do then change it to the new numeric values from it.
Now just export the sql datasheet and website back up from old host to new host.
Make sure you update ALL absolute links to posts, images, files etc.. by running the following plugin: "Velvet Blues Update url's"
What this will accomplish is (according to own personal experience and taken from plugin developer's page is)
FEATURES:
Users can choose to update links embedded in content, excerpts, or custom fields
Users can choose whether to update links for attachments

In my localhost(xampp) wordpress themes are installed. I activate one of them And create user name and password for the wp-admin.
And I backup database and wordpress site and upload it to subdomain(live site). After upload all content will load without CSS style-sheet. And wp-admin also not working. And url as same baseurl twice.
Question is How to upload my wordpress site to my subdomian. Clear me out. Am i missing some thing??
This is pretty much what you are looking for: Moving WordPress
It´s a quite detailed manual how to move WordPress Sites/Blogs from one server to another and moving from localhost to a live server is not much different.
If you are trying to move a complete Wordpress site from one server to another I would recommend using the plugin Duplictor.
https://wordpress.org/plugins/duplicator/
Really easy to use and does the job excellent!
I do blogging a bit. I found this video tutorial, I have used this one to successfully set up a new subdomain and install Wordpress sometimes ago.
STEPS::
Use cpanel to create the subdomain
Download the latest version of wordpress to your local drive
Upload to subdomain folder on your host
Extract the files, and move them into the subdomain folder
Use cpanel DB Wizard to create a new data base
Make a note of the username, db name and db password
Copy wp-config-sample.php to wp-config.php in the subdomain folder
Edit wp-config.php to add the username, db name and db password
Open the URL "your-subdomain.your-domain.com/wp-admin/install.php"
Fill out the fields on the form and press "install wordpress"
After creating the a subdomain, use WP clone to create and install a backup of my live site into the new subdomain. The clone site allows you to verify updates before deploying them to your public site.
Hopefully the issue has resolved already, but maybe this will be of use to others.
Thanks.
If you are trying to move a complete Wordpress site and is without plugin,
copy all the wordpress files in the htdocs/project-name to the
subdomain folder.
Then export the db from phpmyadmin,open it in an editor
Change all the url of the format 'http://localhost/your-project-name'
to the subdomain link(http://eg.example.com).
Save it and import the sql file to the subdomain's db
Change the database,username,password in wp-config of the subdomain
with subdomain's db details.

Wordpress codex gives you the steps for doing this.
I have wordpress website on server, created pages and that's working fine, but when I download wordpress files and DB on local and want to run with localhost, permalinks for pages are not working.
It seems this is an old post, but this might help others that encounter same error.
Select:
Apache –> Apache Modules –> and that will display the lists of available modules.
Now just check rewrite_module.

Hope that helps.
Sometimes when copying from one server to another, wordpress' permalinks goes a little screwy, try setting them back to default (using the admin panel) and then setting them again to your desired permalink structure (being sure to apply the changes each time).
you need to go into the database and change a few options.
Goto your phpmyadmin installation and navigate to wp-options table. Change the siteurl and home options to your localhost address.
Wordpress needs these database tries to build your permalinks. If they are wrong, then it will direct your links to incorrect locations.
You can simply fix this by doing the following:
Go to settings in your WordPress site.
click on permalinks ( You will see the URL structures of your newly configured WP site. (if it shows your original website values, go to settings-> general and set your local site URLs
Don't do any changes, just click on the Save button.
Refresh your local site and click on your page link or post.
