Wordpress theme didn't load as it was on local after uploading to live server


I hope someone will be able to help me on this particular problem. I upload my website to a subdomain and after this live website is nothing like the one in my local. There are no nav menu or any other components only some icons and footer. I import my sql file to server it's still the same.


Solution

  • Here are the basic steps in moving a wordpress site to a new server.

    1. Upload files and db and set proper file permissions if not correct.
    2. Change the wp config information with the new db credentials.
    3. Change the options site_url and home_url in yourdbprefix_options table to the new websites url from your phpMyAdmin.
    4. Login to the admin panel and click on the permalinks and save, which will update your .htaccess file.
    5. Install the pluign called velvet url and update the remaining urls in the db from it's options. You are done with the migrations now if you haven't hardcoded the urls anywhere else.
