WordPress Site missing Dashboard after migration - php

I had a WordPress installation which I recently moved to a new Linux host. My host is for three website. I already had a WordPress site at the home directory (/public_html/). The later installation is at 'public_html/mukharsamvad.com'. The first WordPress installation is working fine. But the website with domain name 'mukharsamvad.com' is not showing any media (photos etc.). Even after logging into 'wp-admin' it doesn't directs to dashboard. Admin bar appears at the top, but doesn't have any menu or option.
After checking the URLs of images, I have found as 'http://mukharsamvad.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/nitish-kumar-11-1.jpg/'. It is treating it as directory. Please recommend me fixes.

Removed old installation and re-install WordPress. After restoring database, problem with image urls solved, but Dashboard still missing.
Here what you can do
check by deactivating all the plugins
change the theme
if not worked , switch for theme editor.
install classic editor plugin and enable it
if this not worked ,
inspect element & check console for errors.

it sounds like you are missing file of Wordpress I would suggest you to compare each directly with installed WordPress if you still don't solve problem then take backup of migrating WordPress installation do fresh installation then override the backup files

Themes, Styles, Images not working on MAMP local dev WP site

My recently downloaded-to-MAMP WP site is not displaying any CSS, styles, themes, or images. The live site broke after a PHP upgrade. After some panicking, I downloaded the WP site (all files, manual installation, FTP download) and exported the database. After a lot of trial and error, I got it just about running on the MAMP localhost, with PHP back at 5.6 (site broke on 7.0).
I did not install Wordpress directly, simply the root directory from the live server in the MAMP localhost folder. The site is displaying the text, line breaks, paragraph breaks, and image holders, but no styles or grid or anything - bare HTML.
A quick check with the inspector shows that the image-holders are pointing to the correct path for images, and the images are in the relevant folder in Uploads.
I tried deleting all plugins from wp-options, and changing themes in the database too.
I can't access wp-admin either - too many redirects. The site is obviously connecting to the database, styles.css is in place, the theme is named correctly, I have tried reverting to twentyfourteen too. No joy. Any thoughts? I can't move it back to the original server space now either and revert to the older PHP either.
Do you have a Full backup of any state of your Site? Did you check wether the PHP versions of Mamp and WordPress match exactly? Try to install a clean version WordPress on Mamp and then insert the databases. Don’t forget to change your WP config file to the local host address that MAMP is using.

Wordpress - duplicator plugin back up fail

I've just moved a wordpress site from localhost to live server and attempted a backup using the duplicator plugin. It's showing the following error/fail -
It's also showing a red 'Pass' for 'required paths' with the following comment for three filepaths - If Duplicator does not have enough permissions then you will need to manually create the paths above.
I'm using GoDaddy cPanel hosting for the server. Is this a common issue when you move to a live server? If so, how do I resolve it?
After some studying and assistance from a wordpress forum, the solution was to install an archive_zip extension from the PHP Pearl package section in the cPanel and then click through to the PHP versions section and tick the box next to 'zip'. Hit save and then the backup worked.

WordPress Manual Install Theme/Display Issue

My Problem
I manually installed WordPress on a Debian 9 VM in Virtual Box on a Windows 10 machine. When I pull up the website, this is what I get:
A WordPress site with just HTML, no formatting
The point of this install was to learn how to make a custom WordPress theme. I have built child themes before, but never a theme from scratch, so it may be I don't have everything set up yet. But there is a second issue is WordPress does not give me an option to select my second theme either.
What I did
To set up the site, I followed this tutorial on setting up WP on a Debian system. I sort of touched up on this, but I am new to WP development. I thought this was a quick and dirty route to set up a WP install. I don't have the knowledge of WordPress to know if there is an error in this setup guide.
Again, I checked the themes folder. I could not find the custom theme I started to build as an option. I can't currently download themes straight from WP because I don't have an FTP server/client currently installed on my machine. If it were just the inability to choose a WordPress theme from the WordPress theme repository, I'd suspect it's the FTP setup. But, I also can't choose my custom theme. So is there something wrong with the install?
Summary
I can't get any formatting to work on my WP development site. I suspect it's some problem with themes, but I don't know enough about the internals WordPress to know how to diagnose the problem.
Thank you for your time
It's tough to say without seeing your setup exactly, but this is often caused by URL problems.
Are you able to access wp-admin? If so, try logging in and visiting the settings > permalinks page, then just hitting the save button.
Try reloading your site. It might be fixed.. If not, a little more to try. First, I'd open your browser's Console / Inspect mode, and see if there are any console errors (showing CSS files not loading, etc). If so, post them here.
Additionally, I found a helpful article that details some other things to try when this problem pops up:

Where I should store the Wordpress site in Xampp (linux)

I never use Wordpress but I usually use Xampp (Linux) to work.
So, I installed Wordpress and it works fine, if I enter with my browser to http://localhost/wordpress/ I can see the WP page.
I got from a friend his WordPress site files and stored them in /opt/lampp/htdocs like any regular web site, but when I try accessing http://localhost/folder_name/ I get the Index of folder_name and not the actual site.
I noticed that /opt/lampp/apps/ has a "WP" folder, and inside it - an htdocs folder like xampp have.
Where's the correct place to store the WP project ?
Is it /opt/lampp/apps/wp/htdocs or opt/lampp/htdocs/ ?
How can I get the WP site working and not get the index of / page?
You want to put the root of your WordPress installation in the same location you would put anything you want to be able to access at http://localhost. From what you're saying, it sounds like that is /opt/lampp/htdocs/
The Problem
WordPress runs just about everything through a database, including it's siteurl and home directory values. If you don't have a database at all, nothing is going to work. You'll find more on this problem Here.
The Hard Fix
You could try Migrating your friend's WP install to your XAMPP server, but you'll need their database for that to work. You could then use a tool like Wordpress Database Reset, which will get you back to basically a fresh install, just with any themes and plug-ins your friend's install included.
The Easy Fix
Since it sounds like you want a fresh install with a custom theme or plug-in from your friend, you can just start with a fresh install, and then add any themes and plug-in's in. Installing WordPress is fairly simple since they have a web-based installer to help you get everything set up. Check out this guide. Once you've got the basic site set up you can import any themes and plug-ins you want from your friend's WordPress installation.
I hope this helps!
I have read your problem folder path correct is opt/lampp/htdocs/
you need to make all services enable for server.

My WordPress site got updated and also few plugins. site is not loading any more. What i can do it to win it back

I have WordPress site and it is updated new version. I don't know how. Few plugins also got updated. Now sites page is not loading. Server is working fine but pages are loading.
I don't have back up. How should I get back the things.
This is a good time to learn your lesson about backups. Always have a backup.
It's most likely that one plugin is breaking your site. You can copy the /wp-content folder of your site to your computer using FTP and then (after copying it locally!), one by one, delete the plugin folders in wp-content/plugins themselves on your site over FTP. After deleting each plugin folder, check if your site is back up.
If you find the offending plugin, try reinstalling it through the WordPress admin panel. Because you deleted the plugin folder and not the database entries, the settings should still be there, but your local copy is in case of further emergency anyway.
You can try renaming your plugin folders via FTP connection. Do that one-by-one and reload the site each time. They will be deactivated after you do this, and you will find the plugin which is causing the problem.
