I've down loaded a backup of my live wordpress site florapalaestina-ethnobotany.org and extracted it to \xampp\htdocs\florapalaestina-ethnobotany and imported the .sql file to the database i created using phpMyAdmin. Problem is the theme, posts, custom posts, toolset dashboard have all disappeared. Only the installed plugins appear.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks for any help
Hi David,
Thank you for contacting us and I'd be happy to assist.
The first thing to make sure is that the installed Toolset plugins are also activated on the new website.
While manually migrating the website from one server to another, you'll also need to update all the references of the old URL with the new website's URL in the exported .sql file, before importing it at the new database.
It is generally a good idea to use a specialist migration or backup/restore plugin to move the entire website from one location to another since they can take care of all these steps for you.
These are the plugins that we've tested and recommend with Toolset:
1. Duplicator – WordPress Migration Plugin
https://wordpress.org/plugins/duplicator/
2. All-in-One WP Migration
https://wordpress.org/plugins/all-in-one-wp-migration/
I hope this helps.
regards,
Waqar
My issue is resolved now. Thank you!
