Help Moving site from one server to another

[nbenson 0]

I designed a platform pro site on my personal server. I went and changed the URL of where the site was going in the General settings section. I moved the files over to the new server. deleted the old site that was on that server and my new site is not showing on that server. I've done some googling and all the answers indicate I need to change database settings and wp-config.php settings, but not documentation actually tells me what to change. this is my first time designing a site like this and I'm completely lost on how to get this site working on the new server. In the post I have always installed wordpress through the hosting website directly on the server I was working on, but never move it from one server to another. To break down again. I designed a site at natebenson.com/syracuseshows. I want to move this site to syracuseshows.com I changed the URL of where the site points to prior to moving the files from my server to the clients server. Deleted the clients old site after my new site uploaded and still have nothing showing. Hopefully someone has some time to walk me through this step by step. Thanks folks!

Have you seen this documentation on moving WordPress from one server to another?: http://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress#Moving_WordPress_to_a_New_Server It describes the process in detail and can provide insight on what you might've missed whilst moving the files around.

Yes, I followed that process. But I'm still unsure of what DB info to change on the site I moved over.

In wp_options (the WP DB table) there are two values to check: "Home" and "URL". Make sure those are both set to syracuseshows.com.

Yup, those were changed to the future URL.

The problem is probably in wp-config where you set the database name, username and password. You need to change these to match the current database.

There is a plugin on the wp.org extend, called search and replace or something, us it to change all the database started urls for posts/images etc.

Hi, I'm having the same problem as well. 

 

The plugins recommended, such as "Search and Replace" and "Velvet Blues" do replace the urls for posts/images. However, the images/urls input into the Pagelines features (eg: pictures uploaded into the Boxes section) do not get replaced. 

 

Anyone who has come across the same problem and managed to find a solution?

Using Search and Replace plugin, search for:

 

http://

From here you should be able to change the URL for your images.
