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.

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.
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
I can download the WordPress website which is already created. So, I need to run that website locally. Please let me know step by step.
I don't know your setup but I'll give you a complete solution now and then we fix any problems afterward.
First thing you need to do is download a local WordPress hosting environment and set up a local host for the website. I prefer to use FlyWheel because it's the easiest so far. Other options include Laragon, XAMP, and WAMP.
After installing Flywheel and setting up a local install you download the "All In One WP Migrator" plugin on both the live website you want to run locally and the local website.
Once you use that to migrate the website to a local setup everything should be fine. If you have the error establishing database connection again I will tell you how to resolve that. It's pretty easy actually.
I'm running up a local WordPress server with WAMPSERVER, and I'm working on editing the theme's child theme.
I also setup virtual server on my network. In the past few days I don't see any issue, everything work perfect. Until yesterday the virtual server look like not able to connect via my mobile phone and other computer in the same network.
Today I'm trying to work on the editing. It just can't load to the homepage or even wp-admin. So I took a look at the console in developer mode and I had this error.
I have try to do all the research like changing the port at httpd.conf and wp_option in wordpress to localhost. It just don't work at all.
UPDATE:
I have solve the issue with reinstall the WAMPSERVER and WordPress manually. I'll keep this post and make a guide for the future use.
Firstly I have no idea what to do because I can't even load to /wp-admin. So I decided to backup and restore everything manually.
1. Backup directory
Open up where your WordPress installed.
Click on the WAMP icon at the taskbar. If you don't see it probably is hidden inside the up arrow icon. Left click on the WAMP icon and navigate to www directory.
You don't need to copy and backup all the files in here. Navigate to yoursite/wp-content and copy plugins, themes and uploads.
Paste at any place in your computer as a backup except C:\wamp64. Because it will delete all the files when you uninstall the WAMPSERVER.
I'm using WAMPSERVER 3.1.7, older version might be different. Please Google where is my www directory in wampserver replace.your.version or original path which you can find at C:\wamp64\www.
2. Backup database
We need to backup our database in order to recover the page, post or portfolio we created in the WordPress.
In your browser navigate to localhost/phpmyadmin and select your WordPress database at the right panel then select export button on the top and press GO. Make sure your Format: SQL before you press press the go.
All the pages, posts and portfolios that you created are store inside the database, not in the WordPress folder. Read more at here.

Hope the above guide will solve your issue. I'm not a professional IT guy but it does work for me at least :).
Feel free to edit or suggest if you think I have mistake in the guide.
i have pre developed site ( using joomla )
i should make some editing to the database using xampp server
should i install joomla ?
and when i enter
localhost/project/index.php
i get this message
You may not be able to visit this page because of:
an out-of-date bookmark/favourite

I think you don't need install it again. You did it before, just you need to install Xampp to run Apache and MySQL. Then copy your files in its htdocs folder in a certain folder (Like joomla). But pay attention that you must have a backup from your previous database. Otherwise, you need to install joomla again to create database and its tables.
I used AMPPS to do the same. You can import your current installation of Joomla in Softaculous provided by AMPPS. AMPPS is also a WAMP Stack with auto-installation of more than 230 open-source scripts. All the site installed by AMPPS and imported manual installations will be managed by AMPPS.
(Note : Your config file of Joomla should be proper. Take bakup before importing)
If nothing works you can still install Joomla again as it is easy using AMPPS. Hope this helps. :)
