Wordpress not working after migrating via SFTP - php

I have moved my Wordpress files to another server via SFPT, and I have uploaded Database manually. I can enter the Dashboard and all other features except Posts, when I try to add a new post the errors below are triggered:

Wordpress has a guide for this types of issues

Do try updating your permalink setting from wp-admin, and give a try.
or possibility that your DB was not fully migrated to the new host.

Wordpress cannot find all media

After manually moving wordpress to another hosting, it can't find all the media (e.g. photos). I changed the old url in the database in wp-opitions to the new one and changed wp-config to connect to the new database.
The problem is that some images are showing up, and some wordpress can't find despite being in the same uploads directory.
When migrating, it is not enough only to change the old url to the new one in the opitions table.
You need to change it in the whole database.
The images in the text are often set not by their ID, but simply by a link.
Try to install this plugin Better search and replace and replace the domain in all records through it.
If you have access to the old site and everything works there, try to install this plugin duplicator it will pack the entire site, with pictures and plugins settings and then do all the changes in the database.

Migration of Drupal website from live server to local server shows broken links

I am new to drupal.I have to work on Live website with drupal 7. This website is working fine. I downloaded the website on my localhost.Home page of the website works fine.But when I click on any link in menu it shows me page not found.When I checked the url it is showing me like this:
http://Locahost/page/category/she.php
But when I check my project page and category folders arenot present.Also when I searched on live website these folder are not there also. But on live server it works fine.Url on live server is like this:
http://mywebsite.com/page/category/she.php
But Page and category folders are not there. I am a new to drupal. Any help to resolve this url generation issue will be appreciated.
After checking for possible misconfogurations as outlined by jpschroeder's you could try using the Backup and Migrate module.
Use the default settings and the cache tables will not be saved in your backup. You don't need them, as they will be re-created on the new server as pages are served for the first time there.
There's a good tutorial on this at http://www.seascapewebdesign.com/blog/how-transfer-your-website-one-server-another

Export wordpress from OpenShift account

I have a blog hosted at openshift but would like to move it, I have wordpress installed using 1 small gear (not scalable). I've tried plugins like WP Clone by WP Academy and Move Wordpress but the server times out before the backup/clone/zip file is created.
I was able to login to my openshift account using SFTP to manually copy the wordpress installation to the new server but the structure is different than what I'm used.
I would prefer to just use a plugin like WP Clone by WP Academy, how I can get it to work?
If not, where are the wordpress files on openshift so I can copy them to my new host?
Thanks.
We are sorry to see you go, please email openshift#redhat.com if we can do anything to help you stay!
If you have to go, we understand though, here is a breakdown of the file locations (assuming you used our quickstart):
~/app-root/data/uploads (files uploaded through wordpress
~/app-root/data/themes (themes uploaded through wordpress)
~/app-root/data/plugins (plugins uploaded through wordpress)
~/app-root/data/blogs.dir (uploads and assets for wordpress multi-site installation)
~/app-root/repo/php (all other wordpress core files)
You can use mysqldump from the command line to get your wordpress database, all of the login information is there in the environment variables, and your database name is the same as your app name.
You can also use the rhc snapshot save command to get a complete backup of your application.
Let us know if you need any more assistance.
Here is instruction how-to migrate from OpenShift
Backup database
Copy all files from server
Modify Wordpress config
Upload to a new server
Restore database backup

Moving old wordpress.com site stats to a self hosted blog

I recently moved my old wordpress.com blog into self hosted blog with a my own domain name. So far I have done these things.
transferred my old articles and posts.
installed and activated the Jetpack plugin.
transferred my old blog followers with the help of wordpress support team.
And now I want to get transfer my old blog site stats into new one. Is it possible to do so? At least is there a work around for that?
Thanks in Advance
According to my research, albeit not too in-depth, the vast majority of results seems to point to this not being possible.
Please see -> here <- for more information.
Good luck!
Personally I do not use Jetpack for stats but digging into jetpack it seems that the stats are transferred based on the domain name.
Reference:
http://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/moving-jetpacked-wporg-installation-to-another-site
So technically as long as you have the same mysite.com address it should retain the stats.
As for transferring wordpress over to your own server, I have done this a couple times and the one that seems to work the best for me is this process.
From Old Server:
Export MySQL database
Copy the whole file directory
From new Server:
Install a copy of Wordpress on your server (just to create the DB and file structure)
Empty the newly created MySQL DB and import the database from the Old Server.
Copy/Replace all files from the old server to the new one except for wp-config.php (since it has new credentials)
Lastly I go into wp-admin -> Settings and save the permalinks to have it resetup the .htaccess
Hope this helps.
